Chileans took to the streets of Santiago to share their views after Jeannette Jara won the first round of Chile’s presidential elections with 26.8%, followed by conservative José Antonio Kast with 23.9%. With neither candidate surpassing 50%, a run-off is set for 14 December. Many citizens said the divided right-wing vote affected the outcome, while others believe a conservative government still has a strong chance. The election now moves into a decisive second stage as Chile debates the direction of its next presidency.  #ChileElection #Chile2025 #Jara

00:00The right should have united and elected a single candidate.

00:30We would have had a right-wing president by now, because what we Chileans want is for

00:33the country not to be divided, to be united, for the country to be at peace, for the country

00:38to have what we all need, without crime, without theft, without anything.

00:46And the greatest thing of all is for the country's economy to grow, to grow considerably, and

00:50we think that with this candidate we are going to achieve that.

00:55I don't want anything to do with the left, that's my way of thinking.

01:06In my opinion, the next government is going to be right-wing, because if you have the

01:10three strongest right-wing candidates, which are CAS, Kaiser and Matei, they get more than

01:1550% of the votes.

01:19Not counting the other movement, which is from the People's Party, which is led by

01:22Parisi, who came in third place without taking them into account.

01:27Adding the other three together, the right-wing could win.

01:43In order to become president, he will have to win the votes that the candidates left out,

01:48and to do that, he will have to campaign and promise things that he will fulfill, not promises

01:52that he will not fulfill.

01:58That is how things are going, because we Chileans are tired of promises, because everyone since

02:02the government of Don Patricio Elwin has been lying, I mean, how many years have passed,

02:07how many presidents have we had, and they are all liars.

02:19People are not informed.

02:24People need to read, they need to inform themselves about what CAS was saying.

02:32Because I see CAS and I see Trump.

02:37I mean, really, really, for me, I see Kaiser and I see Miley and believe me, that does not

02:43convince me at all, at all.

02:47I do not want a Republican, I do not want a right-wing party to continue governing my country.

02:52The same stage as.

03:22I do not want a Republican, I do not want a Republican, but don't have Republican, but this

03:32is Tadand Williams.

03:35I do not want a Republican.

03:39But of course, you are a Republican.
