Which right is the government on?

The letter criticizes journalist Luis Cordero's characterization of the new government led by José Antonio Kast, arguing that Cordero fails to analyze the presidential campaign of Kast, which is described as 'descalificadora' (disqualifying). The author compares Kast's policies and rhetoric to those of Hungary under Viktor Orbán and Chile's authoritarian past under Augusto Pinochet, suggesting that the current government exhibits authoritarian tendencies similar to these regimes. The writer highlights the influence of global conservative movements and warns against minimizing the confrontational style of some ministers, including the 'Kaiser' group, the 'reconstruction' project that shifts away from redistributive local financing and social policy, and tactics used to suppress student protests. The piece also mentions the spread of antiliberal ideas among intellectuals.
