Chile is scary. A survey carried out in 144 territories by the American company Gallup found that just 39% of residents in this region of Puesto 138, just behind Zimbabwe, feel safe walking alone at night. The main concerns are crime, robbery and robbery, especially among the most vulnerable and pessimistic economic situation. “The country has changed and the streets are no longer the same as before,” Angel Valencia, the national inspector general of the public ministry at the root of the businessman’s kidnapping, said in August. In this Chile, ultra derequista José Antonio Casto speaks. They are calling for “urgent government” proposals to tackle the new crime, which is characterized by double the number of heinous murders compared to a decade ago, with “tough measures”.
These elections took place in a context in which 24% of Chileans support the historic mayoral government, 36% support the centrists, and 20% support the left, according to a survey by the Center for Public Affairs (CEP). Another figure that reached an all-time high was support for authoritarian regimes being preferable in some situations (23%).
At the start of Kast’s campaign, celebrated in March of this year, a video was shown containing a previously Republican manifesto, with the motto: “Even when I didn’t dare, I dared.” The heart of the crowd that made the mayors scream and applaud. According to the records of various international organizations, his proposal to establish Zanja on the northern border to quell illegal immigration and support for the Carabineros in the framework of the 2019 social uprising was proposed when trust in Zanja was shattered by human rights violations during the uprising. Around 35% of Chileans approved of police control at the time, according to figures from the Kadem polling agency, while that number now stands at 75%.
On more than one occasion during the campaign, Casto congratulated leftist candidate Janet Jara for referring to Carabineros as Carabineros, rather than Carabineros. Pacoswhich in Chile is a specific name for the Uniformed Police, and I remembered visiting T-shirts with the crack symbol on them. black Matapakos, Named after the dog with the red paw on his head, he was known for barking and attacking carabineros. The Communist Party, of which Jarrah organizes armed groups, controlled the streets but played an active role in the movement.
There are those in the Republican Party who explain Mr. Kast’s favorable position in presidential polls (all signs that he will eventually take on Mr. Jara) and how he has remained silent amid the “trauma” of social upheaval, marked by mass protests as well as episodes of violence that ended the system and Chile’s democracy. According to a survey by the Center for Public Research (CEP), in December 2019, 55% of people decided to support the demonstrations, but now this number is only 23%. So voters turned to Kast, a man who consistently stands in opposition to them, pointing to the Republican Party. Even the remnants of peace agreements signed by presidents of political parties that provided institutional solutions to the social crisis during the darkest moments of the crisis. This agreement resulted from a failed constitutional process. The second study found that even though Republicans had a majority, the bill apparently failed to pass because they always maintained that there was no question that the constitution inherited from Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship (1973-1990) remained valid.
To understand who Chile’s ultra derecha voters are, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES), which is associated with the German Social Democratic Party, produced a study that profiled them based on research and compared them with those who support the candidacy of traditional derecha Evelyn Mattei. Kast uproots the youngest people from small towns, most of them men, from a low socio-economic level. Matei addressed women, the 45-year-old mayor, university students, the middle and upper classes, and the mayors of the Santiago metropolitan area. In the hard vote, Mattei received the majority of support from women (61.7%), while Kast received support from men (55.6%). Among evangelicals, a religion that gives wings to ultra-Derechas in other countries such as Brazil, the Republican Party has 36.1% of support, compared to 15.7% for Mr. Mattei.
Cristóbal Rovira, the Catholic University academic who led the report, told EL PAÍS: “It is clear that the followers of the liberal Johannes Kaiser and Kast do not have a charismatic bond with the leader, but they support those who best represent their ideas.” These ideas are about strengthening family, safety, and patriotism. They say that in addition to a family and values crisis, the country is suffering from a crime and justice crisis that is not being properly and effectively addressed “due to the implementation of blatant and low-impact measures.”
Strategically, in this campaign he avoided issues of personal freedom and defending the legacy of Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship (1973-1990), which was seen as one of the reasons for his defeat in the last election to Izquierdista Gabriel Boric. His speech was based on an irreversible approach from a security, immigration and economic perspective. I say this this week, without embargo, in the city of Concepcion in the Bío Bío region, which has the country’s largest evangelical population. “Let’s get back to talking about God, country, and family.” Although he did not comment, he reiterated the following: value agendahe has not changed his opinion: “I am a man of faith and will protect life from conception to death.” Natural,” I said in the last televised debate. This means, for example, continuing to deny next-day medicine, gay marriage, abortion and divorce laws.
Kast has also campaigned dedicatedly throughout the campaign for this 60% support to unravel the Boric government. In his intervention, he calls Jara, a representative of the “failed government” and the New Left and centrist parties, a “continuation” candidate. The Izquierdas administration is looking at the cost of waiting lists for health centers, admission for undocumented immigrants, or light accounting. “Jara es Boric y Boric es Jara” sown on the opening bell of Mars. At the same gathering, they sing one of the jingles, a play on words with the number 5 corresponding to the number on the sheet. “5 votes, 5 votes for Kast, 5 votes for Kast, joint sincommunism, joint sinHe appealed to voters who feared the arrival of Communist Party activists in La Moneda.
