Chile’s presidential hopefuls propose sweeping changes in mining sector

Two of Chile’s three main candidates in the November presidential election proposed broad changes for the mining sector at a forum on Friday hosted by the country’s largest business organisation.

At the event organised by business group Sofafa in downtown Santiago, centre-left candidate Alejandro Guillier struck a pro-business tone but said he would consider modifying free trade accords to promote the local smelting industry.
