Chile: regional and municipal elections in 2024 and new shades of the political palette

The article examines the features and results of the 2024 regional and municipal elections in Chile, the reasons for the declining popularity of President G. Borich and the government of the "new left". The author analyzes the future prospects of supporters of the radical line in the left movement, the positions of the center-left, the strengthening of the influence of the right-wing opposition, the diversity of parties on the right and left spectrum and the possibility of returning to the "model of elite compromises" on the eve of the national election campaign in 2025. The course and results of the last vote at the local level demonstrated not only the real state of affairs, but also set new tasks for various political forces, on the solution of which the success or failure of the upcoming presidential race will depend.
