Chile’s president-elect names progressive, majority-women cabinet

Gabriel Boric, 35, picks youthful team including at defence the granddaughter of Salvador Allende, who was deposed in a coup

Chile's millennial president-elect, Gabriel Boric, has named a progressive cabinet, with a ministerial team which for the first time anywhere in the Americas is dominated by women.

Boric, a 35-year-old former student leader, will replace the billionaire rightwing president Sebastian Pinera on 11 March as he becomes the youngest president in Chile's history.
