Chile's Far-Right President: Crime & Migration Concerns
Update: 2025-12-15
Description
Chiles new president, José Antonio Kast, a far-right conservative, has been elected amidst growing concerns over crime and migration. His victory, attributed to a rapid increase in the foreign-born population, has been celebrated by supporters who believe his policies will restore order and control borders. However, critics are unsettled by his past connections and the potential for authoritarianism. Kast has pledged not to lead to authoritarianism, despite his promises of a border wall and mass deportations. The new presidents party does not hold a majority in Congress, potentially requiring compromise on extreme proposals. The perception of control and a strong stance on crime and migration remains important to many voters, as anxiety over these issues continues to spread across the continent.
