Chile has a new president. His name is José Antonio Kast. He was a congressman before. He has old ideas for the country. This happened after a special vote. The vote chose the new leader. It is a big change for Chile.
Kast talked to voters. They were worried about crime. They were also worried about people coming to Chile. He won the vote by a lot. His other choice was Jeannette Jara. She is from the left.
Kast is a leader from the far right. He is the first since 1990. That was when Augusto Pinochet stopped being leader. Kast wants to have order. He wants to stop fighting. He wants to watch who comes into the country.
He said he will send home people with no papers. His ideas about safety are strong. He does not like abortion. He does not like same-sex marriage. Some groups are worried.
Chile had problems with money and people. Voting is now a rule again. This may have helped Kast. More old voters might have voted.
Kast said Chile won. He said people can live without fear. He will be strong on crime. He wants to stop bad things.
Some people in Chile are worried. They remember the Pinochet time. They want justice for old problems. This vote made old fights start again.
Kast's time as president will change safety. It will also change immigration. This is a new time for Chile. The government may be stronger.
