  • Chandrachur Singh
    Chandrachur Singh “The opposition - a consortium of nearly two dozen parties - has not been able to rally people around economic distress despite raising it as a prominent election issue. The problem with the opposition is that it is a coming together of parties with divergent views whose only agenda seems to be to dislodge Modi. To the people, that doesn't seem to be a good enough agenda. The fact that the opposition has not projected a face against Modi is also an issue. Rahul Gandhi is slowly emerging as that leader, but in terms of perception, he is still far behind Modi.” 12 hours ago
  • Neelanjan Sircar
    Neelanjan Sircar “A large part of what the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] does is thinking about how to centralise all political attribution on Modi. Its campaign promises are pitched as Modi's guarantees. This is the strategy of a party where the leader is a cult figure and the party is the vehicle for the leader. Whether it's economic distress or even issues like violence in Manipur, Modi is not directly sullied. People may blame other leaders of the BJP. In regional elections, as a consequence, BJP might be voted out. But it is not anger against Modi.” 12 hours ago
  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all its objectives is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there - with or without a deal, in order to achieve the total victory.” 13 hours ago
  • Nour Odeh
    Nour Odeh “For a while, there was a lot of cautious optimism up until this morning, and then the prime minister announced he will order an invasion of Rafah with or without a deal - in essence trampling all of these ceasefire talks. This is what the families of the captives had feared. This is what the negotiators feared. Netanyahu's comments came after he held meetings with the most right-wing members of his coalition government, including Itamar Ben-Gvir. It's interesting, every time Blinken comes to the region - catching the tailwind of some optimism - something like this happens, and he ends up going home with nothing to show for all this political momentum.” 13 hours ago
  • Randall Kuhn
    Randall Kuhn “Put simply, the situation in Gaza is it's completely intolerable at this point. We're on the border of famine and for us as a university, we have to reckon with the fact that every university in Gaza has been destroyed. As a professor, I find it repugnant to sit by while Palestinian professors are being killed, while academic buildings are being bombed relentlessly.” 13 hours ago

“For original peoples, the new constitution consists of the possibility of an end to political oppression. It will be an instrument that will help us establish a new relationship in the country between the state and original peoples.”

“Young people are clear on the need to transform the country's development model. And I think it is one of the reasons behind Boric's meteoric rise, going in one year from not even being a contender to being Chile's youngest president-elect ever.”

“The fact that Kast has lost does not mean he's completely gone from the political stage. The fact is his right wing party has gained a tremendous presence in the parliamentary elections, his front has 50 seats in the parliament. And also in the Senate, they are a force to reckon with. And while Kast lost the election, turnout was so high that he became the sixth-most voted for candidate in Chile. Boric will have to seek dialogue with the right wing opposition as of March to be able to complete his political programme, and it is unlikely that he will be able to fulfill his entire programme. It is too ambitious and his leftist programme will be a moderate one in the end.”

“He [Jose Antonio Kast] met Gabriel Boric, recognizing his victory, saying that everyone needs to respect the voice of the majority of the Chileans that decided to vote in favour of Boric. This has been a very polarized election. It comes now after years of often violent protests in the country. It was the first time in three decades that two candidates who offered such a starkly different view of the future of the country confronted each other, in a country that is known for its stability of its politics and its economic views.”

“It's impossible not to be impressed by the historic turnout, the willingness of Kast to concede and congratulate his opponent even before final results were in, and the generous words of President Pinera. Chilean democracy won today, for sure.”

“What is going to be decided this coming Sunday is fundamental. No one can remain indifferent. Choose a president who ensures our country can truly continue on a path of progress for all, of greater freedom, equality, and human rights that are respected, a sustainable environment and of course the chance for a new constitution.”

“Covid exposed inequalities, it exacerbated inequalities and made it easy to politicize those inequalities in a way that we expect will be very hard on incumbents. It has generated malaise and discontent that citizens have to put on someone.”

“Pinera [Sebastian Pinera] has been abandoned by the people who voted for him and what is worse, by the right-wing supporters and Congress members. The overwhelming majority of Chileans reject the way he has faced the social, economic and health crisis.”
