Javier Olivares

Javier Olivares Avendaño (born 11 October 1987) is a Chilean journalist, radio and television presenter, and politician from Chile. He has developed an extensive career in the media in his country and the United States, and was elected as a member of the Chamber of Deputies for the 2026–2030 term.

Before beginning his political career, Olivares developed an extensive career in the media, standing out as a host of youth television programs in Chile, such as Tremendo choque on Chilevisión and Mekano on Mega. He later worked as a journalist abroad.

From his media profile, he accumulated social capital to promote a political career, emphasizing communication skills and positions critical of the political left. In this process, he found support in the Party of the People (PdG), a political group that brings together detractors opposed both to the right, and to the left itself.
