During the [[2019 Chilean State of Emergency|2019 Chilean October Marxist insurrection]] he was against the Chilean Armed Forces and supported the agreement of the 15 of November of the same year that made possible the Constitutional change process that was rejected years later, something that was viewed as too moderate by the far-left since the agreement was made with the center-right.

During Gabriel Boric's Government, the 50th anniversary of the [[Military Government (Chile)|military intervention of 1973]] happens, the government continues spreading propaganda against [[Augusto Pinochet]] repeating the leftist dogma of "systematic human rights violations", "a dark and terrible moment for Chileans", and reivindicates [[Salvador Allende]].

=== Third Constitutional Referendum ===
On December 17, 2023 a new referendum was held over the new written text, the Republican Party directive supported the change of the Chilean Constitution, many members of the party opposed this stance change of the party. The Globalist "center-right" coalition, [[Chile Vamos]] and centrist parties such as "Democrats" and "Yellows" (which means "being too moderated") supported the "In Favor" option as well. Chilean Patriots supported the "Against" option as well as the most of the left-wing. The "Against" Option obtained 55.76% of the votes while the "In Favor" Option obtained 44.24%. The dissident right was victorious over the establishment "right-wing" parties who supported the new proposed text.
=== Kidnapping and murder of a Venezuelan retired lieutenant by the Maduro regime in Chilean territory: Tren De Aragua (and Hezbollah?) ===
The public security crisis facing Chile, with a new criminality and the deployment of transnational gangs, has a new black episode. A Venezuelan ex-military dissident, Ronald Ojeda, 32, a political refugee in Chile since 2018, was found dead after 10 days missing following his kidnapping. Prosecutors and police officers found him in a suitcase buried 1.4 meters under cement in an informal migrant slum in the commune of Maipú, in the western part of Santiago. He lived in Santiago with his wife and young child. A sister also lives in the city. With Ana Maria Sanhueza, last Friday night we tell the details of this brutal finding in this chronicle.
The Parliament has returned to session after the legislative recess and the Government of Gabriel Boric approached the halfway point of its mandate on March 11. And one of the main doubts that remain, as we wrote with Ana Maria, points to the motive that the criminals had to take Ojeda out of his house in his underwear in the early morning of February 21 and, finally, kill him. Was there a political motive given the dissident nature of the Venezuelan? It is a thread that has not been completely discarded, as this chronicle by Maolis Castro, where he reports the tensions from this case between the Chilean government and the ruling party and the dissidence in Caracas.
Of what there is no doubt: it was the [[Tren de Aragua]], the Venezuelan criminal organization with presence in Chile about three years ago, which executed the murder. This is what I report in this text where it is informed that Ojeda's body had no bullets and that the cause of death was asphyxiation. In this piece by Antonia Laborde we tell the way in which this group has landed in Chile, the crimes it carries out most frequently and the attempts of the Prosecutor's Office and the police to dismantle it again and again.<ref>[https://elpais.com/chile/2024-03-08/el-secuestro-y-muerte-del-venezolano-ronald-ojeda-en-chile-un-final-no-deseado.html]</ref>
The Maduro Regime of Venezuela killed him using mercenaries. Ojeda's family is now exiled in Argentina under the protection of Milei.
In April 2024, [[Marco Rubio]] questioned [[Biden]] Administration officials on Tren De Aragua and [[Hezbollah]]'s influence on Chile under the [[Gabriel Boric|Boric]] Administration.<ref>[https://www.rubio.senate.gov/es/rubio-questioned-biden-administration-officials-on-tren-de-aragua-and-hezbollahs-influence-on-chile/ Rubio questions Biden Administration Officials on Tren De Aragua and Hezbollah's influence on Chile].
