Vallejo Rejects 2025 Presidential Bid: Committed to Boric Until the End

In a surprising move, Camila Vallejo, the Government Spokesperson, has categorically dismissed the possibility of running for president in the 2025 elections. Vallejo, who has been consistently mentioned as a potential candidate for the center-left, has made it clear that her focus remains on supporting President Gabriel Boric until the end of his term.

In a recent interview with Radio Romántica, Vallejo stated, I am a political person. I enjoy politics as an exercise or an activity to bring about necessary changes. However, she firmly reiterated, I have not thought about it nor do I have any aspiration for that (the Presidency of the Republic). Moreover, I have a very important function for me to remain in the Government with the president until the end.

Unwavering Commitment to Boric

When asked about the possibility of changing her mind in the future, Vallejo was unequivocal, stating, I have a resounding ‘no’ today. We will have to talk in two or three years, but the truth is that I understand very well the function I have. She further emphasized her role as a Minister of State, explaining that entering into that hypothetical discussion can contaminate the debate on what my current role implies. I prefer not to engage in political fiction, but I am clear that I will stay with President Gabriel Boric until the end, unless he has to dismiss me.

Vallejo’s Prominence in the Center-Left

Vallejo’s decision to forgo a presidential bid in 2025 is noteworthy, as she has been consistently mentioned as a potential candidate for the center-left. The latest Agenda Criteria survey placed her in third place, behind former President Michelle Bachelet and Minister Carolina Tohá, in terms of spontaneous mentions by the population.

Conclusion

Camila Vallejo’s unwavering commitment to supporting President Gabriel Boric until the end of his term is a testament to her dedication and loyalty to the current administration. Her decision to reject a presidential bid in 2025 demonstrates her focus on her current role as a Minister of State and her desire to contribute to the ongoing political landscape from her current position.
