Chile’s new constitution process hijacked by the far right – Everything Law and Order Blog

In 2019 the nation of Chile was shaken by a mass protest movement that has come to be known as the Social Explosion. A central demand of the Social Explosion was the abolition of the current constitution drafted in 1980 under US-backed fascist dictator Augusto Pinochet. In 2020, Chileans overwhelmingly voted for a new constitutional process in a referendum. However, just two years later, a plebiscite overwhelmingly rejected a new proposed constitution. Since then, the far right has hijacked the process by stacking the constituents to create another constitutional draft with their own representatives. The Real News reports from Chile, speaking directly with women and LGBTQ activists at the frontlines of this struggle, who explain how the new constitution has gone from being a vehicle to expand gender equality to a grave threat against women’s rights and LGBTQ rights.

  1. "El fascismo avanza y el gobierno no hace nada para detenerlo" literalmente es la gente que voto y pide que el gobierno lo pare? los zurdos hablan de fascismo cuando ellos son la definición exacta de lo que acusan.

  2. This is great, basically a small protest movement found out they are the real minority and have unleashed the silent majority to draft the new constitution. Its all over but the coping and seething.

  3. Chile deserves so much better than this after their history with the savage coup of Allende and that horrific fascist period under Pinochet. Best wishes from the UK ✊

  4. So that’s what Post Modern Feminism and LGBTQ Activists look like WITHOUT Corpo backing…

    Huh, who would guessed: no progress.

    I’m sure the NGO’s will arrive soon…

    Or stay in America and Europe, laughing at the fact that if the corporations don’t back you:

    You lose. Funny stuff though. NGOs have had these movements a Corpo joke:

    Lose the Corpo’s, you get a joke result like this.

    Good thing they don’t want Corporate Sponsership and interven…

    Oh wait. Shit.

    “We want a end to Fascism!”
    “How?”
    “We need to push Corporate Fascist ideas!”

    Anyone with a brain cell, “Wait… what in the Fuck?”

    Post Modern Leftism aka Centrism aka Modern Fascism 101.

    Guess the scam works everywhere.

  5. Another nation going down through a woke agenda which clearly goes against God. Have fun with that. To think Chile was once a haven of sanity.

  6. People these days are really testing God's patience. I don't know how he puts up with our crap. That's how you know how great his mercy is.

  7. American imperialist's should not tell other countries how to live. How many countries have we already destroyed. We should clean our house before we try to clean up the rest of the world.

  8. I’m not sure why you haven’t drawn the link between the far right in Chile and the CIA, it’s been there since Pinochet

  9. Chilean people: We want a constitution that protects our rights.
    Chilean conservatives: Meet the new constitution, same as the old constitution.

  10. People are sick and tired of the lies of the Marxist far left. The people of Chile have seen the lies of the Marxist In Venezuela, and the Sexualization of children here in the United States along with the murders of tens of millions of unborn babies, it's Genocide. abortion beyound the point of when a baby can feel is wrong up to the point of birth that's murder!! Thank God the majority of the people of Chile agree!

  11. Thank you again, Real News Network.

    Our involvement with Chile and the removal of Allende and placing in of Pinochet was a disaster, as we all know.
    Kissenger, I wonder at the age of 100 years old how he can sleep at night?
    No reflection of a man with great intellect.
    That also involves many of our leaders today.

  12. ( In every Country, politics, all politics, is the best money laundering operation there is, it's better than any movie/ book/ or art deal. )
