Voting laws and Lowery sermon mark quiet Chile election
Chilean voters face mandatory voting on June 28 with fines from $20 to $128 for abstaining. Deputy Foreign Minister Gonzalo Martínez warned of low interest as the first direct municipal election in 21 years approaches. After 125 miles from a polling place, exemptions apply for illness or distance. In Atlanta, Rev. Joseph Lowery retired with a sharp critique of government indifference and Bush-era domestic policy. He urged focus on jobs and the nation’s soul. In Shanghai, police chief Zhu Daren acknowledged past torture of prisoners and said reforms and a special anti-torture force were created to stop it.
