The Chilean opposition party, RN, is calling for the Chamber of Deputies to demand an explanation from President Gabriel Boric for his recent statement that “rebellion can be a part of the government.” The RN is concerned that this comment undermines the rule of law and democratic process, as it suggests that disobedience to the law can be justified by those in power. President Boric’s statement has also stirred debate about the role of dissent within a democratic government and the balance between order and rebellion. This controversy raises important questions about the limits of government power and whether disobedience can be appropriate in certain circumstances. As Chile moves forward under its new president, these debates will likely continue to shape the country’s political discourse.
