The big surprise in the Chilean presidential elections was the result for the Broad Front (FA), a heterogeneous left coalition headed by Beatriz Sanchez. The FA candidate came in third, with 20% of the vote (just two points short of making the second round). The coalition also won 18 deputies and a senator, which is unheard of for an anti-neoliberal force outside of the traditional parties. *Viento Sur’*s *Brais Fernandez* spoke with* Luis Thielemann*, an activist with Autonomous Left (one of the organisations with parliamentary representation within the FA), about the elections and the rise of this new left formation. https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/chile%E2%80%99s-political-system-shaken-rise-new-anti-neoliberal-left -- www.greenleft.org.au * subscribe <https://www.greenleft.org.au/subscribe/details> * donate <https://www.greenleft.org.au/donate/details> _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
