DW: Chile: Far-right party on top in constitution rewrite vote
The far-right opposition Republican Party is set to take almost half of the seats on a committee to rewrite Chile's constitution. Its leader has previously expressed kinship with Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro.
A far-right party came first in an election on Sunday to choose 50 members of a committee that will rewrite Chile's constitution.
The Republican Party led with 35% of the vote, equating to around 22 seats on the committee.
The party opposes the longstanding effort to change Chile's constitution, which was imposed in 1980 during the right-ring dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet.
"Today is the first day of a better future, a new start for Chile," said the party's leader Jose Antonio Kast, who has previously kinship with other populist conservative leaders such as former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and former US President Donald Trump.

I thought that said china not chile. I was very woken up lol
Yes it has left the far left and the communists in a pickle, they can get a right leaning, pro-liberty, democratic constitution written by the right or they can choose pinochets constitution. After last years terrible ultra left, green, equity,inclusion and Indian constitution this is great news
This was a defeat of a Wokster government trying to shove increased Wokster progressive liberalism down the throats of a traditional culture.
Lucky for the Chileans, this time, the liberals have lost.
This will be a continued fight until the world is re-newed.
