José Antonio Kast Sworn in as President of Chile in Valparaíso
José Antonio Kast officially assumed the presidency of Chile this Wednesday in a ceremonious event held in the coastal city of Valparaíso. The ceremony drew parliamentarians from across the political spectrum and welcomed a dozen heads of state and government from around the globe, including King Felipe VI of Spain and the Argentinian President, Javier Milei.
