After winning a majority of seats in the Chilean constitutional convention, left-wing factions will have the opportunity to introduce broad reforms that could undermine the country’s pro-business environment and increase economic risks. During Chile’s May 15-16 election for the representatives of the constitutional convention, center-right party Chile Vamos ended up with 37 seats, falling short of securing the one-third of seats needed to block proposals. The leftist vote was split between the Lista del Apruebo alliance (which received 25 seats) and other various far-left parties (which received a combined 28 seats). The remaining seats went to an assortment of 48 independent candidates, with 17 seats set aside for indigenous representation. Chile’s center-right government appeased massive protests in 2019 with the announcement of a plebiscite to change the Chilean constitution. In October 2020, the Chilean people voted in the national plebiscite to draft a new constitution .
