Carolina Borojević
Carolina Nevenka Goić Borojević is a second-generation Chilean of Croatian descent. A lawyer by profession, she is a prominent political leader and former head of the Chilean Christian Democratic Party.
She was first elected to public office in 2005 and re-elected in 2009. Goić later became the Christian Democratic Party’s candidate in the 2017 Presidential elections.
Croatians began settling in Chile in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when Croatia, including the southern region of Dalmatia, was under the Austro-Hungarian Crown. A significant number of immigrants originated from the island of Brač.
The Croatian community in Chile has distinguished itself through its industriousness, education, and integration into Chilean society. Second- and third-generation Croatians hold influential roles across major institutions in the country, contributing meaningfully to national development — a legacy reflected in Carolina Goić’s political leadership and presidential candidacy.
Carolina Nevenka Goić Borojević pripadnica je druge generacije čileanskih Hrvata. Po struci pravnica, istaknuta je politička liderica i bivša predsjednica Čileanske demokršćanske stranke.
Prvi je put izabrana na javnu dužnost 2005. godine, a ponovno 2009. godine. Bila je kandidatkinja Demokršćanske stranke na predsjedničkim izborima 2017. godine.
Hrvati su se u Čile počeli doseljavati krajem 19. i početkom 20. stoljeća, u vrijeme kada je Hrvatska, uključujući Dalmaciju, bila pod austro-ugarskom vlašću. Velik broj doseljenika potjecao je s otoka Brača.
Hrvatska zajednica u Čileu istaknula se svojom marljivošću, obrazovanjem i potpunom integriranošću u čileansko društvo. Druga i treća generacija Hrvata zauzimaju važne položaje u ključnim institucijama zemlje te značajno doprinose njezinu razvoju — što potvrđuje i političko djelovanje te predsjednička kandidatura Caroline Goić.

La inmigración croata a Chile comenzó a fines del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX, cuando Croacia, incluida la región de Dalmacia, formaba parte del Imperio Austrohúngaro. Una gran proporción de los inmigrantes provenía de la isla de Brač.
La comunidad croata en Chile se ha distinguido por su espíritu emprendedor, alto nivel educativo e integración plena en la sociedad chilena. Las segundas y terceras generaciones ocupan posiciones relevantes en las principales instituciones del país, contribuyendo significativamente a su desarrollo, legado que se refleja en el liderazgo y la candidatura presidencial de Carolina Goić.
