Chile's Constitutional Rollercoaster: From Conservative Referendum to Left-Right Flip

Chileans are voting on a new constitution in a referendum, marking the culmination of a four-year process that began with protests against the nation's government and deep inequality. The proposed charter, however, has divided the country, with some activists who initially fought for a new constitution now planning to vote to keep the current one. Critics argue that the proposed constitution would pull the nation more to the right and harden economic conditions. The outcome of the referendum remains uncertain, but regardless of the result, Chile's social and political processes continue to be marked by polarization and demands for change.
