• José Antonio Kast, won the presidential elections in Chile with a hardline political agenda prioritizing security.
• Kast's victory adds to a recent chain of right-wing candidates' successes in Latin America.
• Notable are the victories of Rodrigo Paz in Bolivia, the reelection of Daniel Noboa in Ecuador, and possibly Nasry Asfura in Honduras.
• Mexico and Brazil, being the most populous countries, remain with progressive governments.
• A political pendulum between the left and right is noticed in the Latin American region.
• The radicalization of the right in countries such as Argentina and Chile stands out.
• Former US president Donald Trump has shown support for right-wing candidates and confrontation with left-wing governments.

Conclusion: There is a shift to the right in Latin American politics, which could threaten freedom if positions become excessively radicalized. However, the presence of progressive governments in the most populous countries points to a complex and constantly changing political reality in the region.
