Maria Corina Machado has disclosed her close relationship with elected president José Antonio Kast, revealing that she will attend the inauguration ceremony in Chile as his "special guest," highlighting their many mutual friends.

In a surprising turn of events, Congressman Jorge Alessandri (UDI) has been elected as the president of the Chamber of Deputies, reinforcing the right's grip on both branches of the Chilean Legislative Power.

Just hours before the transfer of power ceremony in Chile, Argentine President Javier Milei faced a setback as he lost the opportunity for a photo with José Antonio Kast due to the cancellation of their scheduled bilateral meeting.

The right-wing coalition solidified its position in the Senate with the election of Paulina Núñez and Iván Moreira, ensuring political control at a pivotal moment in Chile's legislative landscape.

Public spending cuts, tax reductions, labor changes, and deregulation to accelerate investments are part of the package with which Kast will aim to establish his government's stamp from day one.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez issued a strong response to Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa, who claimed that his government had "sufficient evidence" of alleged "Cuban interference" in internal affairs, justifying the recent expulsion of Cuba's diplomatic delegation.

In a move that aligns Santiago with the continental right, Mayor Mario Desbordes plans to present the keys to the city to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, amidst controversies surrounding her recent Nobel Peace Prize.
