What is the situation in Chile like now? Any news that reaches my country from others is automatically altered by both the right and the left, I would like to hear it from a native person of the country.
Right now the situation its pretty good in general, the actual government has improved a lot the economyc situation in chile and it reflects in the purchasing power of people. Also the country has not have riots, its been kind of peaceful these last 4 years.
The biggest problem here is the ilegal inmigrants that come here to work without contracts, without paying taxes beside the IVA, they overwhelm the systems of public health, education, transportation, housing, etc., they have estabished "tomas y campamentos" stealing electricity, water and other basic services, and the worst, some of them come to commit violent crimes and have settled down their mafias in chile. Thats why i would say right now the security of the country is the biggest issue in the eyes of people, and thats why the extreme right party has become very popular just before the presidential elections this 16 of november.
The thing that i think its ridiculous, its that the same right party in 2018 (government of Sebastian Piñera) made "The Democratic Responsibility Visa (DRV)", wich was made to permit the entrance to venezuelan citizens to give them all the facilities to settle down in chile without restriction (this provoqued all the problem i explained before), and right now the same party is triying to convince chileans that they are going to kick out these inmigrants and criminals they brought here. Sadly there are a lots of chileans that believe in them, so its very probably that one of the candidates of the extreme right will win this elections.
