Pablo Abufom

Oscar Mendoza, a social scientist focused on Chilean politics, and Pablo Abufom, a philosopher and political analyst, explore the shocking electoral shift in Chile following the rise of far-right president José Antonio Kast. They discuss the failed constitutional process, the impact of media on public perception, and how fear of crime drove voters away from the left. Mendoza further delves into the dynamics of compulsory voting and Kast's political strategies, while Abufom connects this resurgence to historical pinochetismo and the challenges facing the opposition.
