This chapter analyses the rise of certain right-wing movements in Chile that challenge human rights and democratic principles. It explores the emergence of ‘right-against-rights’ movements that aim to reverse rights for marginalised communities and restore traditional political, social, and economic values. Using case studies, the chapter identifies three types of movements: countermovements, uncivil movements, and radical neoliberal mobilisations. It discusses how these groups employ tactics such as rights framejacking, violence, and the use of social media to gain visibility and influence. The chapter highlights these movements’ threats to Chilean democracy, emphasising the need for measures to address the root causes of right-wing mobilisations.
