Chile’s right-wing coalitions win majorities in Congress, signaling a shift toward market reforms and stronger U.S. ties.

Chile is undergoing a major political shift to the right, mirroring trends in Argentina and Bolivia, with right-wing coalitions projected to secure majorities in both chambers of Congress. This realignment reflects growing public dissatisfaction with past left-leaning governments and a demand for economic reforms, stronger security policies, and closer ties with the United States. The change signals a potential pivot toward market-oriented governance and increased regional cooperation with U.S. interests, marking a pivotal moment in Chile’s political evolution.
