Chile has just elected its most conservative leader since Pinochet. The new president’s rise to power is attributed to his upbringing in a small town beneath the Andes, where he was influenced by right-wing ideologies.

When I think about Chile turning right and Kast becoming their president, it’s all about perspective. Like, what does ‘conservative’ even mean in the context of a country that’s just gone through some serious trauma? And how do we define ‘right-wing ideologies’? Is it solely based on economic policies or is there more to it?
What I find interesting is Kast’s upbringing in this small town beneath the Andes. That’s where he got his influences from right- and left-wing groups, which ultimately led him to become who he is today.
So, let me ask you all: How do we really define ‘conservative’ in our own country? Is it solely based on economic policies or are there other factors at play?
And what does this mean for the future of Chile’s political landscape?
