Communist and far-right candidates head to Chile presidential run-off

Communist and far-right candidates will face off in Chile's December presidential run-off. Jeanette Jara of the Communist Party narrowly won the first round, challenging José Antonio Kast. The campaign focused on crime and immigration, with Kast advocating for tough measures like a "border wall," while Jara prioritized increasing lithium production and protecting Chile's borders. Both candidates promise to address rising crime and tackle immigration issues in the country, which has seen a significant increase in its foreign population.
