• Ultra-rightist candidate José Antonio Kast won the Chilean presidential elections with 58.1% of the votes.
• Kast is the first Chilean head of state who backed Pinochet.
• He proposes to reduce public spending by $6,000 million.
• He promises tranquility, order, and progress for Chile and opposes LGBT+ rights and abortion.
• The failure of communist candidate Jeannette Jara is partly due to the rejection of President Boric's management.
• The Chilean center-left needs to rethink its political discourse to reach the popular classes.

Conclusion: Kast's victory marks a shift in Chilean politics aligning with the trend of right-wing presidents in South America and possibly strengthening ties with Washington.
