Chile imepiga kura ili kupitisha au kukataa KatibaMpya iliyopendekezwa, ambayo Rais Gabriel Boric alisema ingeleta enzi mpya ya Kimaendeleo Nchini humo. Kwa asilimia 99 ya kura za maoni, Kambi ya Upinzani ilipata ushindi wa asilimia 61.9 ikilinganishwa na asilimia 38.1 ya waliounga mkono Katiba hiyo. Katiba mpya inatajwa ingezingatia zaidi Haki za Kijamii, Mazingira, na Usawa wa Kijinsia kuliko Katiba iliyopo ambayo ilipitishwa wakati wa utawala wa Dikteta wa Kijeshi, Augusto Pinochet. ............................ Chile has voted resoundingly to reject a proposed new constitution that President Gabriel Boric argued would have ushered in a new progressive era, in a result that far exceeded the expectations of the conservative opposition. The new constitution would have had a greater focus on social rights, the environment, and gender equality, than the existing charter which was was adopted during the rule of military dictator Augusto Pinochet. It emerged from an agreement between legislators and protesters to end violent rallies against inequality in 2019 in which dozens of people were killed. With 99 percent of the votes counted in Sunday’s plebiscite, the rejection camp had 61.9 percent compared with 38.1 percent in favour of the new text. There were reports of long queues at some of the more than 3,000 voting centres across the country with some 15 million Chileans eligible to take part in the referendum. Voting is compulsory. Polls in April predicted that more voters planned on rejecting the new constitution. The approval camp conceded defeat, with its spokesman Vlado Mirosevic saying: “We recognise this result and we listen with humility to what the Chilean people have expressed.” Boric, who had lobbied hard for the new document, said the results made it evident that people “were not satisfied with the constitutional proposal that the convention presented to Chile.” The proposed charter was the first in the world to be written by a convention split equally between male and female delegates, but critics said it was too long, lacked clarity and went too far in some of its measures, which included characterising Chile as a ‘plurinational’ state, establishing autonomous Indigenous territories, and prioritising the environment. “The constitution that was written now leans too far to one side and does not have the vision of all Chileans,” 41-year-old Roberto Briones told the Associated Press news agency after voting in the capital Santiago. “We all want a new constitution, but it needs to have a better structure.” Source: Al Jazeera
