Chile’s far right advances as gang violence reshapes election

– Chile's Presidential runoff will likely be a Pinochetista VS a Communist.

– Center right Queen Evelyn Matthei is rapidly falling in support.

– Kast is most likely to become Chile's next President due to an unpopular government, high crime and economic malaise.

– This is what happens when liberal democracies are unable or unwilling to take the steps needed to control rising violent crime. Voters turn to authoritarians who crush crime and may also crush independent institutions.
