Original article: Nueva edición impresa de El Ciudadano: Kast Mentiroso
It has been a month since José Kast’s government took office, marked by mediocrity and deception. The latest print edition of El Ciudadano boldly targets the heart of political, economic, and media power. With sharp analysis, El Ciudadano 268 discusses both domestic and foreign policies of the new administration and the early missteps that have become evident.
The presidential campaign of José Kast was riddled with falsehoods, and the same can be said of his first month in office. He proclaimed a prophetic narrative of a country falling apart, yet it is his initial economic measures that are likely to exacerbate the crisis.
The recent fuel price hike has emerged as the first significant challenge for his administration. Neoliberal orthodoxy altered the MEPCO, directly passing fuel price increases onto consumers, leading to inflation and an overall rise in the cost of living just two weeks into his presidency.
Currently, the world is experiencing turbulent times. The war instigated by the United States and Israel against Iran is being described as the start of World War III or as a gateway to it. Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation against Gulf countries allowing U.S. military bases, from which attacks on Iran are launched, is creating a severe global economic crisis.
Global inflation is set to rise while economic growth will slow. Oil prices continue to surge, having surpassed $100 a barrel, with projections suggesting they could reach $200 if the closure of the strait persists. This price surge is impacting the cost of goods, a reality already felt in Chile.
Despite the predictable consequences of a conflict of this nature, on February 28, while still President-elect, Kast stated, «Chile must always be an ally of nations that promote freedom and democracy, and consequently, we value efforts to restore nuclear security and uphold international law,» expressing support for the United States and Israel.
The edition also features an in-depth report on The U.S.-China Rivalry over Latin America. The competition for trade, strategic resources, and influence in the ongoing conflict between the Eagle and the Dragon is highlighted. China’s growing commercial presence, Washington’s historical political influence, and competition for critical minerals are reshaping the economic and political landscape of Latin America.
Over just two decades, China has transformed from a marginal player in Latin America into one of its primary trading partners. While the U.S. pushes to maintain its historical influence in the region, Beijing is advancing through trade, infrastructure investment, and access to vital natural resources. This dynamic is creating a new geopolitical rivalry that spans economies, governments, and development strategies across the continent.
Readers will also find the article The Deep State of British Zionism. BP, Shell, and the ongoing struggle for Iranian oil. Historical interests by English elites in Iranian oil are explored, revealing key information behind the war waged against the Persian nation.
Additionally, coverage of Irregularities at Conadi linked to the Julia Chuñil case. Records from the indigenous development corporation expose a lengthy history of setbacks in reclaiming millions in public funds paid to businessman Juan Carlos Morstadt for the land defended by Julia Chuñil.
Readers can also enjoy an in-depth interview with the ambassador of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in Chile, Mr. Nguyễn Việt Cường, commemorating the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Chile.
This edition exposes contradictions, lies, and controversial decisions through thorough investigations and analyses. It is tailored for those who refuse to settle for superficiality and seek to understand who truly controls the levers of power.
Lastly, don’t miss the literature supplement La Lengua, featuring an interview with prominent Chilean filmmaker Luisa Marolí, texts from Daniela Catrileo, Belén Fernández, Daniel Villalobos, reviews, illustrations, and more.
If you seek to grasp what is genuinely happening, beyond what is presented to you, this edition is for you. Find it at kiosks in downtown Santiago and Valparaíso, or visit us directly at Profesora Amanda Labarca 96, office 54, Santiago Centro.
