Boric is far left and Kast is NOT far right.

[victoriacardenasa.]

Las personas están hablando desde la ignorancia. Boric no es comunista. Tiene el apoyo de distintos partidos de izquierda que ya han tenido presidentes en Chile desde el retorno a la democracia, y el país continúa creciendo.
People is talking without knowing the facts. Boric isn't communist. He has the support of different political parties. But! We've been already having presidents from these parties since we came back to democracy, and Chile's economy and development is growing. Stop lying, please.

Why do people who love their country and are little possessive about it called "Far - Right"..!!?? I mean their ideology could be Right - Wing but it's not "Far - Right"...they make it sound like it's an extremist...!!! How about calling liberals "Far - Left and Communist"... you get that ???

When does being a Lil protective about your Country and guarding it become Far - Right... I don't get that !!!! ???? It's like saying I'm an extremist because I'm guarding my house and not letting everyone in.... That's the Stupidest Logic I've heard...!!!

[kevinhealey]

It does not look to good. The Chilean currency is going down. Hope it's not another Venuzeula.

To quote Jim Morrison "this is the end the end my friend the end"

[flabbergasted]

well done Boric. now lets see who you assign to main cabinet posts.

[JohnDoe-mtws]

It wouldn’t be long before the same Chileans who voted for this would be joining the migrants heading north for “better life” as the economy of Chile inevitably collapses.

social processes can be arrested neither by crime nor force. History is ours, and people make history. Viva Chile

For anyone who thinks Gabriel Boric is the best thing for Chile, you're being fooled. Chileans voted for a man who is just exactly like Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, a man who has launched a ruthless drug war campaign that has killed hundreds of thousands since he took office since 2016, has arrived in Chile. Duterete's most fervent supporters and that of Boric are exactly the same type of people, the ones think that their leader alone can solve the country's problems and social ills need to know it hasn't worked or will work now. Duterte and Boric share the exact same views. Boric will launch a Duterte-style drug war in Chile. Chile is the new Philippines, mark my words. You Chileans need to know that even though controversial investor George Soros has so much power here in my country, the United States. In many other countries like Chile, his influence is waning in leaning away from traditionalist politics and going for candidates who were selected by the people. Of the two remained, Jose Antonio Kast is the real winner, not Gabriel Boric because Boric has the same characteristics as Rodrigo Duterte. In fact, Gabriel Boric is the much younger mini-Duterte clone in every way shape or form and he is also the Latin American Duterte as well. Get off your high horses Chile, 4 years of bloodshed is coming to cities like Santiago, Viña del Mar, Concepción and Valparaiso, just like in The Philippines. Gabriel Boric will also jail political opponents like politicians, journalists and even close down media outlets who tell the truth about the new government in that South American nation. You also need to know that Jose Antonio Kast is for the Chilean people, whereas Gabriel Boric is seeking to be a bloodthirsty dictator. We need to know the truth about Gabriel Boric now, so that in the future, Chile can avoid another blunder in its history so that we in the rest of the world know better in the future.
