After rejecting a new draft constitution, Chileans celebrate and wave national flags in the streets of Santiago. MORE: Chilean voters rejected a new constitution that would have been one of the world’s most progressive and would have replaced a charter imposed by the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet 41 years ago. Chilean officials said that with 99% of Sunday’s plebiscite’s votes counted, more than 61% of voters had rejected the new charter. A little more than 38% voted to approve. In 2020, almost 80% of Chileans voted to draft a new constitution. Karol Cariola, a spokesperson for the approval campaign, said Sunday the mandate to draft a new charter remains. After Sunday’s vote, President Gabriel Boric said he would work with Chilean communities and politicians to draft new text. Political parties said they also were committed to working with voters to design a new charter. https://www.voanews.com/a/chile-rejects-new-constitution/6731261.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
