Piñera sided with the Left on certain issues, such as discussing with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about "gender" policies and how to advance the homosexual agenda.[4] Pinera supported Chile's anti-abortion laws, which outlaw the practice in all circumstances. In 2021 he supported the legalization of same sex "marriage". He believes in the anthropocentric climate change hoax and implemented heavy COVID restrictions such as the COVID Vaccine Passport (Pase de movilidad). Piñera betrayed Pinochetists and the military.
He studied economy in the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile and in Harvard.
