In the 1990s he carried started out his professional practice as a journalist on the Chilean television channel La Red[12] and worked as a correspondent for the US network NBC. During 2018, he also worked at the television channel Chilevisión.[13]

Views

[edit]

Cristián Contreras Radovic has often been the subject of controversy, as he has refused to wear surgical masks during the COVID-19 pandemic,[16][17] and believes in the popularly-dubbed "plandemic" conspiracy theory,[18] which consists of the idea that the pandemic was artificially created. He is also against the scientific consensus that the HIV virus causes AIDS, instead claiming that it is caused by HIV-treatment drugs.[19]

He is a self-declared centrist, claiming that "we have to hit the left and the right with a stick"[20] and that "capitalists and communists have been corrupted by power and driven Chile towards the path of resentment, inequality, and a wide array of vices arising from the darkest forms of matter".[21]
