Chile’s right wing presents draft conservative constitution

Draft, which some observers consider a step backwards, could threaten rights to abortion and collective strike action

Chile's radical right wing have presented their conservative vision for the future in a draft constitution which some observers consider a step backwards for the country.

The new draft, which could replace the current Pinochet-era charter, was drawn up by a council led by the far-right Republican party and could threaten access to abortion, curb the right to collective strike action, and would reduce the number of deputies elected to Chile's congress.
