Chile begins a two-month campaign to elect the 50 drafters of the new Constitution

The new Chilean constitutional process, which started on Monday with the installation of a commission of 24 experts, does not stop. This Wednesday the electoral propaganda begins with a view to the election of next May 7, when citizens will once again have to go to the polls to elect a constitutional council of 50 members, a parity body that will draft a new proposal for a new Magna Carta. This is Chile's second attempt to have a new Constitution, although this new process has substantive differences with the previous one, which failed when 62% of Chileans rejected outright the proposal of a convention that sought to change Chilean institutionality.
