CHILE: Jara and Kast compete for Parisi vote
Both Jeannette Jara, the presidential candidate of Chile’s ruling left-wing coalition, and José Antonio Kast, her rival from the right-wing opposition Partido Republicano (PR), are making an effort to court the voters that gave the populist outsider, Franco Parisi, almost 20% of the vote in the first round of elections on 16 November. Jara pointedly fired her campaign chief after derogatory comments he made about Parisi’s sister resurfaced. Kast, meanwhile, threw his weight behind the governor of Arica y Parinacota, the northernmost region where Parisi finished above all his rivals in the first round, who expressed concern about illegal immigration in the wake of tighter security measures on the shared border announced by the Peruvian government.
