"Chile's Right Wing Proposes Conservative Constitution Draft"

Chile's right wing has presented a draft conservative constitution that could replace the current Pinochet-era charter. The draft, drawn up by a council led by the far-right Republican party, has raised concerns as it threatens access to abortion, curbs the right to collective strike action, and reduces the number of deputies in Chile's congress. Leftwing president Gabriel Boric has called for a plebiscite on the proposal, marking a significant shift from the previously rejected progressive constitution. The new draft, like its predecessor, fails to mention Indigenous Chileans despite their significant population.
