SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Chile’s ultra-conservative former lawmaker José Antonio Kast secured a stunning victory in the presidential election Sunday, defeating the candidate of the center-left governing coalition and setting the stage for the country’s most right-wing government in 35 years of democracy.
Add context: Under former dictator Augusto Pinochet’s regime (1973-1990) many were tortured ( ca. 10 K) and killed (ca. 3/4 K)
Another one bites the dust. Goodbye democracy.
I love how every country is turning to right-wing populist ultranationalism. The world will be such a safe place when every single country has plans of invading all the others.
Rig easy elections. Easier than a coup.
It’s like an arms race of political ideology, picking the nuclear option.
Murdering their own.
