Chileans pick ‘outsiders’ to rewrite charter
AFP, SANTIAGO
Chileans voted at the weekend for people not aligned to political parties to form the bulk of a 155-member body that is to rewrite a dictatorship-era constitution widely blamed for deep social inequality.
A new constitution was a key demand of 2019 protests that left several dozens dead, but paved the way for what has been labeled Chile’s most important election since its return to democracy 31 years ago.
The outcome of the vote on Saturday and Sunday was interpreted as a rebuke of the ruling right and of traditional political parties.
A person in a dinosaur suit votes during the second day of the constitutional convention election to select assembly members that are to draft a new Chilean constitution, in Santiago on Sunday.
