Chile’s left is going through an identity crisis just days before the first round vote, triggered by how to react to the re-election of Nicaragua’s Daniel Ortega.
The communist party and other left wing groups issued a statement yesterday supporting Ortega after several countries said the elections were a fraud. This didn’t go well with president candidate Gabriel Boric, of the Apruebo Dignidad coalition and which has the communists as one of its main allies.
