Chile's Kast: Venezuelan economic recovery could incentivize return of 670k migrants

Chilean president José Antonio Kast suggested that a recovery of Venezuela's economy could incentivize the return of the 670,000 Venezuelans residing in Chile. This is a notable shift in rhetoric from a leader known for hardline immigration policies, potentially signaling a policy pivot or diplomatic opening. The statement is conditional and lacks concrete measures, so its impact on migration flows or bilateral relations remains uncertain.
