The extreme right reigns in elections to form the Constituent Council of Chile
- The council responsible for drafting the new Chilean constitution consists of 50 people, 22 of whom will be members of the Republican Party with 36% of the votes.
Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.
To these 22 seats will also be added the eleven of the traditional right gathered in Chile Seguro. On the other hand, the official coalition of the left Unity for Chile gets 17 seats. 50 persons in the body responsible for drafting the text replacing the constitution established in 1980 by Augusto Pinochet.
The Government envisaged that the far right would obtain the highest number of votes, but not because the number of seats would allow it to acquire the right of veto and, added to the seats on the traditional right, the new custom constitution would have an absolute majority. President of the Republican Party, José Antonio Kast, has defended the 1980 text.
Last September the plebiscite’s refusal on the proposed constitutional modification was imposed, and President Gabriel Boric announced a new constituent process and changes in his government. In December 2021, Boric won the Chilean presidential election.
