*Cayey, Puerto Rico – December 19, 2025*

***From Puerto Rico, the leader of the Kingdom of Peace and Justice Center assessed the impact of the Chilean election and its implications for the continent’s political landscape.***

In remarks focused on the regional political landscape, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos assessed the implications of José Antonio Kast’s victory in Chile’s presidential election, describing the outcome as a turning point in the broader process of ideological realignment in Latin America.

During his address, the president of the Kingdom of Peace and Justice Center argued that the Chilean election result should not be viewed as an isolated event, but rather as part of a wider trend unfolding across multiple countries in the region. In this context, he stated that a shift in political orientation is taking place, marked by the growing influence of right-wing movements.

In that regard, he stated: **“Now it is turning blue… What we are seeing is God’s hand working so that all of Latin America enters that glorious Millennial Kingdom,”** linking this political shift to a broader process of transformation across the continent.

The analysis also included a regional projection identifying countries that, in his view, have not yet adopted this political direction. In that context, nations such as Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Cuba were mentioned as remaining outside this trend, which — according to the argument presented — affects their position within the emerging regional landscape.

Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos further stated that this process of change is not driven solely by domestic political dynamics, but is also connected to a broader reconfiguration of Latin America’s role within the international system, in which national leaderships are gaining strategic importance in shaping the future trajectory of their countries.

The concluding message referred to expectations that this process will consolidate in the near term, emphasizing the importance of current political decisions in determining the future direction of the region.

Overall, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos presented the Chilean election as an indicator of political transformation in Latin America, with implications that extend beyond the electoral sphere and into the continent’s place internationally.
