The Spanish media said that our country decides today in a referendum whether to replace the Fundamental Charter “which it inherited from Pinochet”, adding that “the key is whether this change will allow it to redo the social pact after the disturbances that put the Government in check.”
For its part, El País -also from Spain- titled that “Chile decides at the polls the future of the Constitution of Augusto Pinochet.”
“After 40 years, 30 of them in democracy, 14.7 million citizens will vote in a referendum if they replace the fundamental letter drawn up in 1980 by the dictatorship,” he added.
In Peru, the newspaper El Comercio wrote that “Approve or Rejection is the first question that the more than 14.7 million voters called to participate in a country where voting has been voluntary since 2012 have to answer.”
In a similar vein, La Razón de Bolivia published that Chileans went “from the protests to the polls.”
“In what is considered the most relevant electoral process since the return to democracy in the southern country three decades ago, more than 14.7 million Chileans are entitled to vote,” said the aforementioned media.
Le Monde de France agreed in its international section that Chile will experience a historic vote and that Pinochet’s legacy was a “neoliberal system denounced by the social movement that began a year ago.”
