FRANCE 24 English ‘Right will win election’: Chile to see ‘relatively conservative, pro-market’ reforms in near-term

Chileans face perhaps the starkest choice in the history of their country’s young democracy when they vote next month in a presidential runoff that pits hard-right José Antonio Kast against communist Jeannette Jara. Neither candidate cleared the 50% threshold to win, but Kast heads into the second round of voting best positioned to succeed after an unprecedented 70% of voters backed an array of right-wing parties in Sunday’s poll. An ultraconservative lawyer who vows to deport Chile’s estimated 300,000 immigrants without legal status and speaks nostalgically of Chile’s brutal dictatorship. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective, François Picard welcomes Daniel Lansberg-Rodriguez, Adjunct Lecturer in the Global Initiatives in Management Program at  Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.
