Chile’s leading presidential candidate is embarking on a review of a landmark deal signed last year between lithium supplier SQM and state-owned Codelco.

Evelyn Matthei has asked her coalition lawmakers to request information “in order to review the suitability of the pact for the country and the future development of that industry in Chile,” the center-right presidential candidate posted Tuesday on her X account.
