Chilean voters have resoundingly rejected a proposed leftist constitution that would have enshrined gender equality and improved indigenous rights.
With 98% of the ballots counted, 62% of voters rejected the proposal with 38% voting in favor, according to the Chile Electoral Service. The new constitution would have provided full gender parity, added designated seats for indigenous representatives, and increased environmental regulations. The constitution currently in place was written under the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who ruled the country from 1973 to 1990.
And the constitutional process itself was praised internationally for giving the country an institutional way out of a social crisis, and for responding to modern Chileans' demands for more equality and a more inclusive and participatory democracy.After much deliberation, the final draft of the revised constitution was submitted to Piñera's successor, leftist Gabriel Boric, in July this year.
