The proposal for a new Chilean Constitution following the Bolivian populist, socialist, multinational, leftist model is close to failure. A poll prior to the plebiscite that will vote for acceptance or rejection on September 4 revealed that 47 percent are against the changes and 37 percent would support them. That said, the ruling parties that support Gabriel Boric have announced that they will make improvements and clarifications to the text to save his proposal from rejection.
It must be remembered that in the successful and developed Chile of the first world nestled in the continent of the third world, the Communist Party, the Socialist Party and the Broad Front now govern, along with seven other parties. The news that arrives from Santiago says that the most reluctant to correct the text were the communists.
The proposal for a new Constitution speaks of a ‘Social and Democratic State of Law’. And it gives guidelines to declare a plurinational State, territorial autonomy, indigenous justice. He speaks of a mixed pension system that incorporates that of solidarity, and wants to make justice less independent and more politicized. If the reader is familiar with these expressions, there is no reason to be surprised. Some former Bolivian rulers from the 2006-2019 period were advisors to the neighbor. It is that Chile wants to resemble Bolivia. Of tastes, colors and suicides the authors have not written.
