Senator Alejandro Guillier Álvarez

Alejandro René Eleodoro Guillier Álvarez (born La Serena, Coquimbo Region, Chile, March 5, 1953) is a sociologist, television and radio journalist, and independent politician. He is a Senator of the 2nd District of Antofagasta and 2017 Presidential candidate of the Social Democrat Radical Party.[1]

Currently, Álvarez is running in the New Majority primary for the 2017 election and seeking to be the coalitions' standard bearer in the upcoming 2017 Presidential Elections to replace term-limited president Michele Bachelet. Among others, he faced former PPD President Ricardo Lagos before the latters' withdrawal from the contest.

Polling has consistently shown him to be competitive against expected Chile Vamos candidate Sebastian Pinera, although his support has slipped in the run up to the election and after a series of splits between the traditional left coalition block.[2]

Gullier is a freemason [3] and a member of the Valparaíso Parliamentary Lodge since 2014.[4]
