Eight candidates faced off in the final Chilean presidential debate, six days before the November 16 election.  Leading the debate were Jeannette Jara, former labour minister under President Gabriel Boric, and José Antonio Kast, currently second in the polls. Other notable participants included Johannes Kaiser and Evelyn Matthei.  Jara emphasized social policies and economic security for Chilean families, Kast focused on public safety and crime, Kaiser urged citizens to vote for national development, and Matthei highlighted efforts to combat narco-terrorism.  Chile’s election rules mean that if no candidate achieves an absolute majority, a runoff will be held on December 14.  #ChileElection2025 #ChileanPresidentialDebate #JeannetteJara #JoséAntonioKast #JohannesKaiser #EvelynMatthei #ChilePolitics #Santiago #LatinAmericaNews #ElectionDebate

00:21I believe that a broad social alliance with citizens, as well as politics, can provide

00:26better governance for the challenges the country faces, more investment, more growth, better

00:31salaries and, of course, public safety.

00:35But I want to make my commitment to future governance here, so that every family can

00:39make ends meet and live in a safer neighborhood.

00:42That is my commitment to you.

00:56In our study, in the same order in which your names will appear, today, Chileans, you are

01:05afraid in your home, you feel anxious, that is going to change.

01:08Those who are going to be afraid in the future in 121 more days are drug traffickers, organized

02:32And what we are going to do is that all those narco-terrorists, just like those from the trend

02:36in Aragua, are either going to go to jail or they are going to go to the cemetery.
