💨 Abstract
Chile elected José Antonio Kast, a conservative politician, as president, marking a shift to the right amid rising crime and economic frustration. Kast's victory reflects a broader trend in Latin America, where right-wing leaders have gained momentum, influenced by figures like Donald Trump. Kast's win is seen as a rebuke of the left-wing government and its failure to deliver on promises. Experts attribute this shift to anti-incumbent sentiment and dissatisfaction with the status quo.
