 The May 16 elections for the constitutional convention in Chile sent a strong and clear message in favor of independent representatives over political parties, while also shifting politics markedly to the Left. The composition of the new constitutional convention raises important questions about the future of the Chilean economic model, such as the opportunities and constraints facing the convention as it rewrites the economic rules, and the potential benefits and pitfalls of such changes.

\---------------

 Las elecciones de la Convención Constituyente del 16 de mayo hablaron fuerte y claro, dando un decidido apoyo a los representantes independientes por sobre los partidos políticos, y a su vez girando políticamente hacia la izquierda. La conformación de la nueva Convención Constitucional crea una serie de preguntas importantes sobre el futuro del modelo económico, como las oportunidades y limitaciones que enfrenta la Convención al reescribir o ajustar las reglas económicas, y los potenciales beneficios y dificultades en generar tales cambios.
