In the [[Chile presidential election, 2021|2021 Presidential Election]], the final front-runners were the [[Republican Party (Chile)|Republican]] [[José Antonio Kast]] and Gabriel Boric. Kast won the first round with a 27.91 % of the votes (1,961,387 votes) and Boric obtained 25.82 % (1,814,777 votes). But Kast lost the second round obtaining 44.13 % (3,650,088 votes) against 55.87 % (4,620,890 votes) from Boric. With this Chile ends an era of free-market oriented policies and Socialism retakes the government.

The first measure taken by the government was to withdraw 139 complaints invoking the State Security Law regarding crimes that disturb public order for people detained within the riots caused during the [[2019 Chilean State of Emergency|Marxist insurrection of 2019]]. In a televised interview, Boric asserted that he hopes that the amnesty bill for them "comes to fruition" in the National Congress, describing this action as a "meeting and healing point" rather than impunity.
