00:00Thursday evening, Chilean forces stormed houses in Santiago, suspected of sheltering drug
00:05rings.
00:06It's the latest in a series of raids, responding to a rising wave of organized crime in the
00:11country.
00:13Ahead of election Sunday, anxiety about immigration and violent crime has bolstered the campaign
00:18of far-right candidate José Antonio Cast.
00:21José Antonio Casta, Presidente of the United States- We are going to bring peace which
00:27is so needed, peace with everyone who wants to cooperate and jail for those who cause harm,
00:33jail for terrorists, jail for the violent, because the first thing we have to do is enforce
00:39the law.
00:40José Antonio Casta says if he's elected, undocumented migrants will have a maximum of 90 days to
00:48leave the country.
00:49But Chile still bears scars from its last far-right leader, Augusto Pinochet, known for widespread
00:55human rights abuses, including the killing or disappearing of over 3,000 political dissidents.
01:01Left-wing candidate Jeanette Hara, who won the first round of voting in November, says she
01:05will fight against caste, who she claims is sympathetic to the former dictator.
01:10Jeanette Hara, Presidente of the United States- There are hiding behind clandestine proposals
01:16that seek to roll back rights.
01:19Because the 40-hour workweek, essential for a better life, is at stake.
01:25Because impunity for pedophiles is at stake.
01:31Impunity for human rights violators is at stake.
01:34We cannot allow it.
01:38If polls showing caste leading in the double digits are correct, Chile would be the latest
01:42in a series of Latin American countries to swing from left to right, following in the footsteps
01:48of Argentina, Bolivia, and Honduras.
