Mapuche leader Elisa Loncon, one of the 17 deputies elected by the quota of indigenous peoples, was chosen this Sunday (4) as president of the new Constituent Assembly of Chile.
From now on, it will be up to him to organize the progress of the drafting of the articles of the new Charter of the country and to articulate the dialogue between the different benches that make up the body. Of the 155 members of the Casa, Loncon received 96 votes.
After being elected, she thanked in Mapudungun, the language of the indigenous Mapuche people, and in Spanish. In her speech, she said Chile must become a multicultural country and defended the release of young people who are still imprisoned today due to the anti-government protests that began in 2019.
