The referendum came out!The capitalist of this country is broken!

Author: Geng Zhi

Since 2019, Chile, which has been relatively good for the development of the Latin American region since 2019, has fallen into an unprecedented political crisis and has attracted official attention from the international community.

At that time, a large number of Chilean people, mainly low -income, took on the streets and asked the government to amend the constitution formulated by Pinochent, a dictator of Chilean government supported by the United States in the 1980s. They believed that the constitution had lagged behind the times. Moreover, the capital expansion and privatization of excessive capital expansion and privatization have not benefited most ordinary people. The worse coming.

Seeing the bloody suppression and the riots became more and more serious. At that time, Chilean President Pinela had to agree to whether the constitutional referendum was carried out on October 2020. As a result, nearly 80 % of the people supported constitutional amendments. In the Chilean election in November 2021, the Chilean left president Bolich, who took off in Penela, took out a draft of a new constitution on July 4, 2022, and September 4, Beijing time, Beijing time On the day, a referendum was initiated on the draft of the New Constitution.

On the morning of September 5th, Beijing time, the results of the referendum were gradually revealed. But what I am happy about this is not in Chile's people who look forward to the reform and middle -income class, but the capitalists of the country ...

Judging from the Bloomberg report in the United States, when the invoicing rate has reached 99%, the people who choose to support the new version of the Constitution are only 38%, while the opposition people are 62% -compared to nearly 80%of the people agreed 2 years ago to agree to the consent of 2 years ago. As a result of the constitutional amendment, this result has to be said to be a heavy blow to the Chileans who eager to reform the country through constitutional reforms, and the Chilean left president Borich who support the constitutional amendment.

In contrast, Bloomberg reports that Chile's capital market will be rejoicing because of this result, even "overjoyed", because they do not expect so many people who oppose the draft constitution. Some analysts believe that the failure of the new constitutional referendum may cause Chile's IPSA stock index to rise by more than 10%after the market opened on Monday, and the exchange rate of Chile's Peso to the US dollar will also usher in the rise.

Bloomberg also said that Chile's copper ore and lithium mines will also be relieved due to the failure of the new constitutional referendum, because the draft of the new constitution will strictly restrict the development of these enterprises and even restrict its development. It is worth mentioning that on the eve of the referendum, the review version of the Washington Post in the United States in the newspaper on the newspaper on the draft of the new Constitution of Chile, it also emphasized the importance of Chile's lithium ore to the United States to the United States. Essence

But 2 years ago, there were nearly 80 % of the people supporting constitutional amendments, but now they have been opposed by more than 60 %? Judging from the reports of more international media, in addition to Chile's capitalists and foreign capital forces, as well as the joint opposition to the lack of capital development and the "free market" in the draft and the "free market", this new constitutional draft Some reforms proposed in the Chilean political system and social and ethnic issues have also been greatly controversial, which has caused many Chilean people who originally supported constitutional amendments to be opposed.

For example, the United States CNN (CNN) and the Washington Post pointed out in the report that although the draft new constitution is concerned about Chile's inequality, the reform in other fields is too "radical", such as intending to re -qualitatively qualitatively qualitatively qualitative Chile is a "multi -ethnic country", and in addition to greater autonomy and social rights to the indigenous regions in Chile, it also intends to allow the aboriginal people to use a "parallel" judicial system. Many Chileans who originally supported constitutional amendments would worry that this would lead to these aborigines to become the "privileges" crowd beyond others, destroying the unity of the Chileans and "national identity", and further "tearing" the society. This is also the main controversy of a new constitution mentioned by many international media.

At the same time, the new constitutional draft contains more equal rights to homosexuality, transgender people and other sexual minorities, and the right to acknowledge that they formed family and fertility, which has also caused a lot of controversy. And some of the Senate's sense of existence in the Chilean political system and enhancing the status of the House of Representatives have also attracted opposition.

Some people think that 70%of the 155 members of the 155 "constitutional conferences" who contain 388 clauses are too "left -leaning". Of the 155 members who participated in the drafting of the draft of the new constitution, 70%of the members of the "constitutional meeting" came from left -wing political forces, lacking more extensive representativeness, many The content is too ideologically, it is difficult to achieve in reality or in Congress, and many texts are quite vague, but will cause confusion in the process of implementation. Others believe that the voices and demands from enterprises have been greatly ignored by the new constitution.

Some people who oppose the draft of this new constitution even think that this draft is "populous". It is a good thing that the Chileans can vote for this draft shows that people are awake.

However, those who support the draft of this new constitution, and some people who still support constitutional amendment although they oppose the draft, think that the Chilean government is at least willing to listen to the voice of the people when drafting the constitution, and openly and transparently carry out the constitutional work. It is worthy of recognition. According to CNN reports, of the 155 members of the "Constitutional Conference" responsible for the drafting of the New Constitution in Chile, not only the number of men and female politicians is equal, but also for the first time included representatives from the Aboriginal people, as well as many Independent politicians without party. In the end, although the referendum was lost, from the Bloomberg report, many Chileans still wanted to continue to amend the constitution. There is still a consensus in the political scene of the constitutional amendment of the constitution. A better and more extensive draft of the new constitution was given birth. Political analysis experts in Chile also said that as long as people still agree with constitutional amendment, all parties can continue to approach this center point. However, some people are not optimistic about this. It is really easy to think of the constitutional constitution, but it is difficult to reform.
