Chile's hard-right Kast renews crime, migration crackdown pledge • FRANCE 24 English

Chile's hard-right leader Jose Antonio Kast on Monday announced crackdowns on crime and migration as his ratings suffer less than three months into his term. Kast unveiled new measures including a "vandal" registry and longer detentions for migrants during his first-ever address to Congress as Chilean president. The 60-year-old took office in March as Chile's most right-wing leader since the end of General Augusto Pinochet's 1973-1990 dictatorship.
