RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Chileans will go to the polls tomorrow, Sunday, for the fifth time this year, this time to elect the presidential candidates of the right and left in the elections of November 21, for which the center-left has not yet revealed its cards due to lack of agreements.
In the “Chile Vamos” coalition, made up of the four conservative parties with which Chilean President Sebastián Piñera governs, all the polls point to Joaquín Lavín, an old acquaintance of national politics, as the favorite.

Two rituals should mark the start of the work of the Constituent Assembly in Chile, this Sunday (4).
The first will be led by elected lawmaker Francisca Linconao, 62, also known as the “machi” spiritual authority of the Mapuche people. The second ceremony will be led by Isabella Mamani, 33, a representative elected by the Aymara, another indigenous ethnic group in South America.
