Before his public career,he held roles primarily in corporate management at several private companies,performing typical tasks such as contracts review,regulatory compliance,legal advice on business operations,and potential internal or external litigation cases.
Galilea assumed the presidency of Renovación Nacional (RN) in 2023,after winning the party’s internal elections with 53% of the vote. His leadership has been marked by a pragmatic and consensus-oriented style,seeking agreements on key issues such as security and pensions.
Under his tenure,RN has consolidated itself as the country’s largest political party,with a notable recovery in mayoralties and regional governments. [4] Although he has faced internal tensions,he has projected the party as a moderate force with a vocation for government.
