A record. Six out of 7 candidates are in quarantine in Chile when the presidential elections on November 21 are just over two weeks away. All forced to suspend the election campaign. At the base of the stop, the announcement of one of the favorites: the leftist Gabriel Boric who announced that he had contracted Covid with fever and cough, despite being vaccinated.
A revelation that sent the entire electoral campaign into a tailspin. Two days earlier, in fact, Boric had had a debate with the challengers: the centrist candidate, Yasna Provoste, the extreme left one, Eduardo Artès, the center right, Sebastian Sichel, the extreme right, Antonio Kast, and the progressive Marco Enriquez-Ominami .
To avoid isolation only Franco Parisi, who lives in the United States.
Boric in the polls is given just behind ultra-conservative candidate José Antonio Kast, with ample odds of winning the ballot. The Chilean presidential elections are the first after the widespread protests that rocked the SEAP in 2019
