Brazil & Southern Cone - June 2021
Introduction
This June edition of the Latin American Regional Report: Brazil & Southern Cone went to press over a month after Chile elected the 155 members of a constituent assembly on 15-16 May, yet the results of this election – a rejection of traditional political parties, particularly on the Right – continue to worry proponents of free-market economics in Chile.
