ah. our voters in chalet preparing for presidential run off election on sunday for right candidate jose antonio cast is facing his left wing rival gabrielle burridge . out there is alessandra m. p. as he is covering this election, he joins us live from santiago. it's been very close race between these 2 who are on completely opposite sides of the political spectrum. does either cast or bartch have the the upper hand in this one off. well, mariam short this answer is that we really don't know the late last official polls are now over week old. and they have the 2 candidates for neck and neck. that doesn't mean that the posters are not working. they're still working in particular for the 2 campaigns, but they're not allowed to publish the polls in the 7 days that preceded the

election. but we do understand that this remains a very, very close election. we had a sneak peak through at least one of these poles that shows the left these candidates, gabrielle burridge, slightly ahead about this definitely remains super close. net can neck a lot will probably depend if some of the people that been both in the 1st round. well, come out and they run off just 47 per cent or so the electorate voted in the end the 1st round. so there's great expectation that now that we know who the 2 candidates are and how different their visions are, the more people that then vote on the 1st round will come out and that could change the final result. we. so these incredible protests in the country calling for social and economic change. what are the, what is the key issues now in this vote?

well, there are a number of issues. obviously, a lot of it has to do with the very do 2 different divisions for the country that these candidates have. i think that this is possibly the most divisive election and this usually stable country that has chosen sensor less. there's sensor ripe candidates for the last few decades. in this case, the of the voters will have to choose through to various strikingly different visions for what sheila should become in the next 5 years. it's all also happening in the middle of a process to change the constitution. so this makes this election very important. also front and center in the mind of many julians though is the fact that the crime has been going up in the last a few years. the and the fact that a lot of these proteins have turned violence. there has been

a lot of vandalism that has played a big role in. it's something that the far right candidate cast has been using to attract voters. another big issue is that of immigration in particular, in the north of the country that has to do with the fact that this is a very isolated the country, both in the north where it has the one of the dry us deserts in, in the world. there are the and it's on the east, the pacific ocean, on the west. but in the last few years we've seen major influx of migrants in this as actually created angry, in particular, in the north of the country. as my colleague, lucy newman has discovered there is no electricity or water, yet land grabs and makeshift camps like lemuel le, are springing up like mushrooms all over chillies at the comma gizzard area of alto species. the newest arrivals are undocumented. venezuelan migrants like angie who

came here with her 4 children, and no money got on. i've been here for the months. we've been leading in the shack, made of cardboard, and a seat on the top there. no toilet, and little pool or wood to build better shelters. yet spaces for more families are already reserved, but there's trouble in the air. last month's chilion camp dwellers set a barricade to prevent more migrants from arriving the latest in a series of protests that often end in violence. one with halley, chilion pastor loans, heel or soil and is venezuelan wife? are concerned about growing xenophobia. if you are larry going often, if some of them are criminals, put them and joe, but the majority here want to work and legalize them. migrations that awesome. in the nearby city of the kiki newly arrived, venezuelans have set up camp along the sea side promenade. nelson support that is the president of this areas, neighborhood association. i guess we will apply,

you know, they occupy up clauses, beaches parks, including our most respected patriarch symbols. at 1st we welcome them, but then the migrant trafficking started bringing them in waves. it's turned into a nightmare. despite the unprecedented influx of undocumented migrants from havi, columbia, peru, and especially venezuela, the government has him provided emergency food and shelter, and it's become a major issue. a head is sundays, presidential election, new left candidate, gabrielle bought each promises to protect my grants human rights. but target human smugglers, but his opponent has gained popularity with his get tough policy along chillies 1100 kilometer northern border. far right wing presidential candidate hosanna. colonial cast is not only proposing to expel undocumented migrant, but also to dig a ditch along chillies poorest northern border with bolivia to keep them out. the

ditch would be 3 meters deep and 6 meters wide. and it's the closest thing yet to form. are you as present in donald trump's wall along the us mexican border? except the cast is not proposing that bolivia paid for it. at v barrett, i came from columbia 6 years ago, legally, and has been working ever since. she shows us how she is built her small house on another land grab, but she's worried ill. the amana is the bane of ways to morrow. they could throw us all out of here, like they didn't venezuela, to the colombians. and what happened now, the venezuelans are the homeless ones. no one knows when they might become a migrant. only like these venezuelan children cross the border into chile just this morning with their parents. what happens to them will depend a lot on who wins sunday's election. to see a newman al jazeera e kiki. more than 30 people are now fair dead. after typhoon ry hit, the philippines on friday. hundreds of thousands of people have been forced from
