TIME's new international cover: Chile’s millennial President is a new kind of leftist leader.
Since taking office in March, Gabriel Boric has been shepherding his country through a moment of historic uncertainty, writes Ciara Nugent. In a Sept. 4 referendum, Chileans will vote on whether to approve a new constitution that offers sweeping progressive reforms, from a new health system to tighter controls on the mining industry. Supporters, including Boric, say it would make Chile a more democratic country and guarantee equality for marginalized groups; opponents say it would destroy the economy.
And so Chile’s youngest ever President finds himself guiding his country through a kind of midlife crisis.
