Chile has a mature Democracy

9 de octubre de 2025

With all due respect, I think Chile has demonstrated, since Pinochet, that neither the left nor the right has changed the course of growth. Even President Boric, with whom I disagree on his mannerisms and behaviour, far removed from the obligations his office demands but, Chile's economic growth continues at nearly 2.5% annually. Citizens voted against a new constitutional reform because Chile is on a stable path. President Boric, with his successes and failures, has been an outlet for youth discontent. He demonstrates once again that it's easy to criticise and demand improvements, but reality is harsh and belongs to those who rise every day to honor their work, promises, and responsibilities. Former congressman Jose Antonio Kast (this election will be his third chance to be president) his situation worries me, as he wants to save citizens money by retiring public officials while simultaneously allowing many of his own relatives; his son José Antonio Kast Adriasola, and his niece Bárbara Kast and nephew Tomás Kast (Son and daughter of his brother Felipe Kast, the current Senator) to run for parliament; it looks like the best business the Kast family could possible make; but it seems contradictory and hypocritical to me. Long live Chile!
