Bachelet does not rule out his candidacy in the next presidential elections in Chile

The former president of Chile, Michelle Bachelet, has not ruled out her candidacy for the next presidential elections in 2029 at the helm of a progressive coalition.

"I think so." This is how Bachelet - already elected to lead the country for two terms in 2006 and 2014 - responded to the question about a possible third candidacy. He stated this in a television interview, stating that he "fears enormously that we could lose positions on rights for which we have fought for years to advance".

The 76-year-old progressive leader and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights recently had to give up her candidacy for the UN secretary general after losing the support of Chile led by the ultra-conservative government of José Kast, and said she did not want to "stand idle".

"I will continue to do everything possible for the unity of all forces that want progress rather than regression," he added.
