Editorial: Le Monde

• José Antonio Kast has won the presidential elections in Chile, marking the return of the far right.
• He leveraged the Chilean people's discontent with insecurity and irregular immigration.
• He promised substantial cuts in public spending.
• The left, which had been voted in for promising more social justice, disappointed.
• The new president has a markedly conservative past and has targeted issues such as abortion and LGBT rights.
• He will not hold an absolute majority in Congress and will need to form a coalition.
• He has shown contradictory stances on respect for institutions.
• It's crucial that Chilean civil society reminds Kast of democratic limits should he attempt to undermine them.

Conclusion: This victory shows the population's discontent with current politics, and although Kast has won with a conservative stance, his ability to rule may be limited by the need to form coalitions.
