Gabriel Boric, the President of Chile, made a notable appearance at a signing ceremony for the Special Lithium Operation Contract (CEOL) at La Moneda, bringing his seven-month-old daughter, Violeta, along. This event signifies his commitment to the National Lithium Strategy and highlights the importance of lithium mining in the country. The presence of his daughter during the ceremony adds a personal touch to an otherwise formal political event. In his remarks, Boric addressed the conclusion of postnatal leave for his partner, Paula Carrasco, an environmental chemist and government official. In Chile, the postnatal leave lasts six months for mothers, after which they can take additional vacation days, while fathers receive only five business days of paternity leave. This disparity sheds light on the challenges modern parents face regarding work-life balance and parental leave policies in Chile. Boric's decision to bring his daughter to such a significant event illustrates his attempt to normalize the presence of family in political life and to advocate for better parental leave policies. As his term approaches its end on March 11, he aims to leave a legacy that not only encompasses economic development through lithium mining but also addresses social issues such as parenting and gender equality in the workplace.
