Young left-wing president of Chile, elected in 2021 after beating José Antonio Kast in a run-off. He won by promising radical reform after huge protests against inequality and the establishment. The process of constitutional change he championed was botched, and the economy grew by less than 2% a year during his tenure. His government is unpopular. The constitution bars him from a consecutive term.
