Transcript
00:00José Antonio Caste has won Chile's presidential election decisively, marking the country's
00:07biggest right-wing shift for the first time in decades.
00:11The ultra-conservative former lawmaker secured his win by pledging to crack down on crime
00:16and illegal immigration, and promised to revive Chile's stagnant economy.
00:20The election was a deeply polarized one, with Gust and his challenger, communist candidate
00:48Janet Jara symbolizing two completely opposite visions for the country.
00:53Jara, who served as labor minister in the center-left government of President Gabriel Boric, encouraged
00:59her supporters not to be deterred by the outcome.
01:01Queridos compatriotas, está claro que no obtuvimos el resultado que queríamos, pero la derrota
01:11siempre es breve.
01:14Gust's victory reflects a broader regional pattern, as recent elections across Latin America
01:32have propelled a wave of right-wing leaders into power.
