now, joining me via skype from or san chili's capital santiago. as claudio went as a political scientist at diego, patella's university. and of course, 2 years ago, i think it was in october 2019. we saw these incredible scenes across the country, hundreds of thousands of people turning out to protest over the high cost of living and deep inequality in the country. how is that movement going to affect this election? yeah, i think very strongly the debate as it was said before, it is about the debate about inequality on the 1st round and secondly, the fire, right, a candidate the said question, diesel, so public safety terrorism and all of these immigration policy. so it basically the cleavage of the debate it today to lays related to inequality or social the bands versus an order. what is the atmosphere like in the country right now? what is your gut feeling about voter participation? is it likely to be quite high if people are picking of younger voters, a mobilizing and people are feeling galvanized to to get out vote. yeah. first is there a lot

she and human al jazeera santiago. well that sounds fake to daniel. finally, he's out of polling station in sheila is capital santiago, forest. daniel with the level of division and unrest that we've seen not to mention medical drama. this appears to have become a bit of a showdown between 2 very different men. it seems a very stark choice for voters that today. that's right. i mean, the chile is, as lucio mentioned in that report is a country that prides itself when its stability economically and politically. that it's not shaken in the last couple of years. and many are hoping that these electrons will be a way of routing chile back into some kind of stability. at the moment. it doesn't look likely with off the 2 years of unrest and really uncertain about how they're going to go through with a 2nd round of voting in december. when all the candidates were voted so far and the outgoing president of asking benita have been asking for, is that people turn out in large numbers. are we here at the polling station, the cent
