Right-wingers rise to power in the ‘Cone Sur’.
With the return of Donald J. Trump to the White House, the Western Hemisphere is beginning to rid itself from the plague of socialism and communism.
In the vital electoral battlefield of Chile, Jose Antonio Kast won Chile’s presidential election on Sunday (14).
His election reflects worries over rising crime and migration, and takes the country in its sharpest rightward shift in decades.
Reuters reported:
“Kast secured a commanding 58% of the vote in a runoff with the government-backed leftist candidate Jeannette Jara, who won 42% and swiftly conceded.”
The “Javier Milei” trend continues…

“Throughout his decades-long political career, Kast has been a consistent right-wing hardliner. He has proposed building border walls, deploying the military to high-crime areas, and deporting all migrants who are in the country illegally.”
In his victory speech, Kast pledged ‘real change’.
“Without security, there is no peace. Without peace, there is no democracy, and without democracy there is no freedom, and Chile will return to be free of crime, anxiety and fear,” he said.”

“His victory marks the latest win for the resurgent right in Latin America, with Ecuador’s Daniel Noboa, El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele, and Argentina’s Javier Milei having risen to power before Kast. In October, the election of centrist Rodrigo Paz ended almost two decades of socialist rule in Bolivia.”
