Chile picks new Constitutional Convention after widespread unrest

DW, 18 May 2021
The South American country Chile is about to get a new constitution. Political independents and left-wing parties look set to dominate construction of the first draft after this weekend's landmark poll, as

The vote is being called Chile's most important election since its return to democracy 31 years ago.
