Happy Birthday, Joaquín Lavín! From your spirited presidential runs in 1999 and 2005 to steering Chile's education system as Minister from 2011 to 2013, you've certainly kept politics interesting. Your tireless energy proves that age is just a number—though votes sometimes are too!Whether championing reforms or charming voters with your trademark smile, you’ve shown resilience worthy of applause (and perhaps another campaign?). May this birthday bring fewer debates and more cake slices. After all these years navigating political storms gracefully, here's hoping today’s toughest decision involves chocolate versus vanilla frosting.
Cheers to many more adventures ahead—third time lucky?
