Most Chileans are all for a new Constitution

Chile-Congreso-Constitucion
Santiago de Chile, Sep 12 (Prensa Latina) 67% of Chileans agree with moving towards a new Constitution to replace the one in force since 1980, according to a survey.

The study, conducted by CADEM firm, showed 48% of those surveyed prefer mechanism for this process to be through a convention where half of members are elected.

Meanwhile, 27% want a democratic body, as happened with the previous one, and 20% favors to give the leading role to the Congress and specialists appointed by parliamentarians.

The poll was published a week after the Rejection option prevailed over the Approval for a draft of the Magna Carta. Those who voted in favor praised the social rights in education, health and housing, ending the Constitution of Augusto Pinochet’s regime, having the first feminist and ecologist Magna Carta and a public pension system, among other reasons.

Naysayers consider the process generated distrust and opposed plurinationality and indigenous autonomies.
