"The vinyl of Death of a Ladies' Man is spinning in an office at Chile's La Moneda Palace, just a few meters from the spot where, on September 11, 1973, Salvador Allende addressed the Chilean people for the last time to announce that the great avenues would open again, before taking his own life amid the military coup that marked the beginning of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship."
"Gabriel Boric was born 13 years after the bombing of the palace. A symbol of a vanguard of the Latin American left, he keeps that pain very much in mind. On the same wall where he displays part of his record collection hangs an enormous graphic commemorating those who disappeared during the military dictatorship. Boric will hand this office over to Jose Antonio Kast."
The vinyl of Death of a Ladies' Man spins in an office at Chile's La Moneda Palace, a few meters from where Salvador Allende gave his final address on September 11, 1973, before taking his own life amid the military coup that began Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship. Gabriel Boric was born 13 years later and keeps that trauma in mind. Boric displays part of his record collection and an enormous graphic commemorating those who disappeared under the dictatorship. Boric became president at 36 and served since 2022; he ends his term at 40 on March 11 and will hand La Moneda to Jose Antonio Kast.
