Electoral processes in Chile and Argentina

Political movements in Chile and Argentina have engaged in various electoral processes and internal disputes. In Chile, preparations began for the 2027 FEUC elections at the Universidad Católica student federation. Following shifts in the Amanecer coalition, candidates emerged from groups such as Nueva Acción Universitaria, Amanecer, and Movimiento Gremial.

By early October, the first vote counts for the FEUC elections were released from the Villarrica campus. The Amanecer pacte secured a majority with 41.67% of the votes, while Nueva Acción Universitaria followed with 39.17%. The election process was marked by student dissatisfaction regarding the absence of several movements during scheduled debates.

Simultaneously in Argentina, the Unión Cívica Radical (UCR) in San Luis experienced internal conflict ahead of leadership elections. The Identidad Radical faction challenged the electoral process, alleging irregularities and questioning charter modifications, though a federal judge rejected their appeal regarding those changes.
