Chile’s Lower house impeaches President Sebastian Pinera

Chileans are going to the polls in fewer than two weeks to elect their next president. 

But their current president Sebastian Pinera, who is in his final days of his second term, now faces impeachment proceedings after the lower house voted to start a political trial against the outgoing conservative leader on corruption charges.
