Sebastian Iglesias Sichel Ramirez (born 30 July 1977) is a Chilean lawyer, professor, ex minister of State and politician who served as president of the Banco del Estado de Chile ( BancoEstado ) from June 2020 until December 2020. [1] [2] [3] He also previously served as Minister of Social Development and Family and executive vice president of Corfo under the second government of Sebastian Pinera . [4] He was an independent candidate in the 2021 Chilean presidential election who ran under the centre-right Chile Podemos Mas coalition. [5] [6]

In 2010, he was one of the founding members of El Dinamo , [7] an online newspaper on topics such as politics, culture, and sports.

Biography [ edit ]

Born in Santiago , his parents are Antonio Alejandro Jose Sichel Poblete and Ana Maria Ramirez Alvarado. His birth name was registered as Sebastian Sichel , but his paternal surname was changed to Iglesias after his mother married Saul Iglesias. [8] When Sebastian Iglesias was 11 years old, he learned from his grandfather that Saul Iglesias was not his father. [9] He then met his biological father for the first time at age 30 and changed his paternal surname back to Sichel , but retained Iglesias as his middle name out of affection. [8]

He studied at the Maria Goretti Lyceum, in Concon , [10] and the Alexander Fleming Lyceum. Subsequently, he obtained a law degree from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (PUC) where he also obtained his master's degree in public law. [11] [12] Sichel Ramirez was a professor of constitutional law at the San Sebastian University from 2016 to 2018.

In 2008, he married the journalist Barbara Encina. They have three children.

Political career [ edit ]

In the 2013 parliamentary elections , he ran for the position of deputy for the districts of Las Condes , Vitacura and Lo Barnechea . His bid was supported by the Public Force movement . [8] The party later became the Citizens party ( Ciudadanos ), which was founded by Andres Velasco , a former minister of Michelle Bachelet .

In a controversial move, he resigned from the Christian Democratic Party in 2015, distancing himself from emblematic figures such as Claudio Orrego , whose presidential candidacy Sichel worked for in 2013. [9] In 2016, he was on the verge of becoming a presidential candidate of the Citizens party for the 2017 Chilean general election . [13]

On 19 November 2017, he decided to publicly support Sebastian Pinera , distancing himself from Andres Velasco .

On 2 May 2018, [14] during the second government of President Pinera, he became executive vice president of Corfo , [15] becoming the first member of the Citizens party to hold public office. He took command of the lithium exploitation contracts signed by his predecessor Eduardo Bitran with the company SQM . [16] [17] [18]

On 13 June 2019, he became Minister of Social Development and Family , after the cabinet change announced by President Pinera. [19]

After the crisis experienced within the Citizens party during the election of its leadership, Sichel resigned from the party and became one of the founders of the Libres ("Free") political movement in March 2019. The new political movement was led by ex-members of Citizens who distanced themselves from Andres Velasco. [20]

He remained in the position of Minister of Social Development and Family until 4 June 2020, when he was reassigned by Pinera as president of BancoEstado .

Sichel remained BancoEstado's president until December 2020. [2] [3] He shortly after announced his desire to participate as an independent candidate in a primary of the centre-right coalition Chile Podemos Mas (previously Chile Vamos ) for the 2021 Chilean presidential election . [21] On 18 July 2021, he won the coalition's primary and became its presidential candidate. [5] He received 49% of the vote, beating three other candidates including Joaquin Lavin , who previously ran in the 1999 and 2005 presidential elections and was considered a frontrunner in the primary. [22] Sichel is considered the favourite candidate of the private sector and is supported in his presidential campaign by prominent business figures. [23]

In the presidential election on 21 November 2021, Sichel received 898,510 (12.79%) of votes cast, ranked fourth out of seven candidates, and did not qualify for the second round. [6] He supported the far-right candidate Jose Antonio Kast in the second round. [24]

Controversies [ edit ]

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile and the high level of unemployment in the country, on 18 May 2020, President Sebastian Pinera announced from inside La Moneda the delivery of a family basket in aid for the entire middle class. Sichel, in his position as Minister of Social Development and Family, had to publicly correct the president's announcement, maintaining that the "percentage of the population benefited" will only have a scope for "70% of the most vulnerable 40%".

On 4 June 2020, President Pinera announced a cabinet reshuffle amid the growing coronavirus cases in Chile. Former minister Cristian Monckeberg was then assigned to the Ministry of Social Development and Family, replacing Sichel, who was appointed as president of BancoEstado . [25]
