Chile’s Senate votes against impeaching Sebastian Pinera | Al Jazeera

Chile’s Senate has voted against removing President Sebastian Pinera over allegations of corruption in the sale of a mining company.

The Senate vote on Tuesday fell 29 votes short of the two-thirds majority needed to impeach the president.

It ended an impeachment process that had successfully passed a lower house vote last week.

Pinera is set to leave office in March next year and is not a candidate in presidential elections that take place on Sunday.
