On Sunday, Chileans voted to reject a conservative constitution—having previously rejected a progressive version in September of last year.
Because both of these votes failed, the Pinochet dictatorship-era constitutional charter remains the law of the land. To learn more about the impact of this on the United States and on regional politics, NTD spoke to Marcos Schotgues, the Editor-in-Chief of The Epoch Times Brazil.
He explained how in 2019, 4 out of 5 Chileans voted for the drawing up of a new constitution after extensive student protests rocked the country. However, Chilean lawmakers are finding it difficult to gauge the pulse of voters.
Chile is a powerhouse in the primary production sector and the world’s largest copper producer, and is recognized as one of the most stable democracies in South America, according to Mr. Schotgues.
