Jubilation as Chile votes to rewrite constitution - BBC News
By large majority #Chile 🇨🇱 has voted to rewrite its constitution; current one comes from dictatorship era. New constitution will be drafted by citizens’ assembly & put to a further referendum by mid-2022. #DemocracyInAction @cepchile @clubdemadrid
It's been almost 50 years since the USA violently deposed the duly elected president of Chile and replaced him with a murderous dictator. My heart if full with hope (and a bit of trepedation) about what comes next for Chile.
And for the US.
Great to see #Chile vote overwhelmingly to rewrite its constitution, which was implemented by Pinochet under the direction of neoliberal American hawks. Read @NaomiAKlein’s Shock Doctrine to understand why this is so important
Great news that Chile is moving forward with a new constitution, but how do "elected citizens" differ from "lawmakers"?
