In a high-stakes final debate before the upcoming elections, Chilean presidential candidates from across the political spectrum engaged in a heated discussion on critical issues, including security, social policies, the economy, and governance. Organized by the National Television Association (ANATEL), the event featured Jeannette Jara of the ruling party coalition and the Christian Democrats (DC), Jose Antonio Kast of the far-right Republican Party, and Franco Parisi of the conservative People’s Party. Other participants included Johannes Kaiser of the National Libertarian Party, Evelyn Matthei of the right-wing Let’s Go Chile coalition, and independent candidates Harold Mayne-Nicholls, Marco Enriquez-Ominami, and Eduardo Artes. Security emerged as a central theme, with right-wing and far-right candidates advocating for hardline measures. Matthei notably declared that organized crime groups like Tren de Aragua would face only two options: prison or death. Kaiser, Kast, and Parisi echoed similar sentiments, while Artes emphasized the need to address who benefits from organized crime. Mayne-Nicholls stood out by focusing on prevention through youth opportunities. Jara proposed complementing security measures with community support and tracing criminal proceeds, advocating for lifting bank secrecy—a controversial proposal rejected by some candidates. The debate also explored alternatives such as closing northern borders, constructing more prisons, reclaiming territories controlled by organized crime, and reforming the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Judiciary.
