Sebastián Solorza, Actor with Down Syndrome, Launches Presidential Bid in Chile
Sebastián Solorza, a celebrated actor with Down syndrome, is venturing beyond the screen to pursue a presidential candidacy in Chile. His decision marks a notable moment,aiming to champion inclusion and demonstrate that individuals with Down syndrome can ascend to the highest levels of power.
Solorza, who gained critical acclaim for his acting, including a revelation prize at the Caleuche awards in 2023, sees this political step as a continuation of his lifelong mission. “I have spent all my life breaking prejudices, as an actor, as a worker and as a citizen,” Solorza stated in his announcement.”Today I assume a new role, the most important that has touched me: act for inclusion, for respect, for opportunities, for all.”
He emphasized the importance of opening doors that have historically been closed to many. “As I have to open doors that were closed before and now I wont to help open many more,so that people with Down syndrome do not have to demonstrate every day that they are worth,” he explained on his social media. Solorza’s motivation stems from personal experience, noting, “I know what it is to live in a country where inclusion often stays in the speech. Now I want to help open many more doors.”
His candidacy is now officially registered with the servel, Chile’s electoral service.
