Chile swings far‑right as Kast’s election win sparks diplomatic standoff
Chile’s move to a far-right government has led to a diplomatic standoff.
President-elect Jose Antonio Kast won Sunday’s poll against his leftist opponent by a wide margin.
The result prompted harsh commentary from Colombia’s own left-wing leader. And that’s triggered a backlash from Chile.
Al Jazeera’s Latin America Editor Lucia Newman reports from Santiago, Chile.
