Santiago de Chile, Jul 17 (EFE).- A year and a half after protests put the country's institutionality on the ropes and in a polarized Latin America, Chile opted for moderation on Sunday with the election of former government minister Sebastian Sichel and former student leader Gabriel Boric as candidates for the presidential elections in November.Against all odds and defying the polls once again, Sichel and Boric prevailed by a wide margin over political heavyweights who had emerged as favorites over recent weeks, including the ultraconservative former mayor Jaoquín Lavín and the communist mayor Daniel Jadue.
