Chile’s second constitutional reform attempt veers to the right
After dissatisfaction with social inequality saw mass protests erupt in Chile in 2019, the country’s political class agreed to launch a constituent process to replace the current magna carta, which was drafted during General Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship (1973-1990). A first draft, slammed as messy and too radically progressive, was rejected in a referendum last September. A second attempt is now underway [SSR-23-04] but could go in the opposite direction and deliver a text that many Chileans consider not much better than the current Pinochet-era version (which underwent several revisions since the return to democracy).
