Chilean communists committed to working for Gabriel Boric’s victory
The President of the Communist Party Guillermo Teillier reiterates its support for the Left’s presidential candidate and stresses the necessity to strengthen what unites, pointing out that the ChCP has achieved greater political influence, writes HUGO GUZMAN
GUILLERMO TEILLIER

GUILLERMO TEILLIER has offered the El Siglo newspaper an initial assessment of the presidential primaries within the left’s coalition Apruebo Dignidad (I approve/Pass Dignity - integrated by Chile Digno/Dignified Chile and Frente Amplio/Broad Front), although he stresses: “we are just beginning the in-depth analysis.”

Teillier highlights the high participation in the process and the positive vote for [Chile’s Communist presidential candidate] Daniel Jadue and Chile Digno, while reiterating the commitment to work now for the presidential candidacy of Gabriel Boric, who has won the primary to become the candidate of the whole left.

There are questions about what happened, but I would like to start with what will happen. After the primaries, what's next for the Communist Party?
