Former Chile President Gabriel Boric Shares Video Criticizing President Kast's Government

Former President Gabriel Boric reposted on Instagram a video featuring Matías Ávila, vocalist of the Chilean band Candelabro, in which the musician denounced the current administration as "imbéciles" and described the country's situation as terrible. Boric responded with a supportive comment, praising the band members.

The Republican Party, led by secretary general Vicente Bruna, condemned Boric's action as a breach of respect for the presidential investiture and labeled the content as hateful. Party deputy José Antonio Kast Adriasola also publicly rebuked the former president, criticizing his activism and urging caution from former heads of state.

The incident heightened political tension between the former president and the ruling party, sparking debate over the limits of political expression on social media.
