Likewise, he clarified that at no time did he see Boric upset, he even detailed that people applauded him when his arrival was announced, and except for one person who asked him about the constitution, he has no major objections to what happened.
Finally, he shared his appreciation of the Head of State, maintaining that he is a young person and that he has a lot to know about his position. This is because -in his opinion- Boric is not a politician of many years like other leaders, who were senators, ministers, chancellors. “I didn’t see him leave in a huff, not at all. He left in peace and people applauded when he said goodbye,” he closed.
