Right wing noise echoed in South America, Chile got its own Trump, know who is Jose Antonio Cust?

News India Live, Digital Desk: There has been a huge earthquake in the politics of Latin America today. Chile, which till now was following the path of Leftist Ideology, has suddenly taken a U-turn. The results of the country’s presidential election have come and these results have attracted the attention of the whole world. The people of Chile have elected their new President and this name is Jose Antonio Kast,

If you have even the slightest interest in international politics, CUST’s victory is not just an election, but a big gesture. But who is he and why is he being discussed as “Donald Trump of South America”? Let us understand in simple language.

‘Chile’s Donald Trump’: Why is he getting this label?

As soon as the news of Jose Antonio Cust’s victory came, his name started being associated with former US President Donald Trump in the headlines. And there is a reason behind this also. Cust himself is considered a big admirer of Donald Trump.

• Thinking and Agenda: KAUST’s politics is completely based on right-wing and conservative values. He openly opposes abortion, adopts a strict attitude towards law and order and ‘nationalism’ is ingrained in his words.
• Free Market: Cust is a supporter of free market economy and a staunch opponent of socialism. He believes that the government’s job is not to interfere in business, but to make it easier.

How did the dice turn in the elections?

This victory is also surprising because for the last few years the youth and protesters in Chile were inclined towards the left. But perhaps the public was fed up with the current situation, crime or the slow pace of the economy. Cust’s campaign promise of “peace, order and freedom” appealed greatly to the local people. He clearly said that he will take the country out of anarchy. This fearless and strong image of his took him to the threshold of victory.

What effect will this have on the world?

The victory of Jose Antonio Cust means that the ‘Left Wave’ that was going on in Latin America can now be stopped. With his becoming President, Chile’s relations with America and other Western countries can take a new turn. This news can be considered good for the markets, because investors often consider right-wing policies to be good for business.

Now it will be interesting to see how CUST turns its promises into reality, but one thing is certain – Chile has now set out on a new path.
