Chile’s new draft constitution has been submitted to President Gabriel Boric, after a year-long process that saw constituent assembly members debate and writes up a document to replace the country’s Pinochet-era Magna Carta.
Boric, a left-wing former protest leader says Chileans have chosen more democracy, not less.
He immediately signed a decree calling for a referendum on September 4, where voting in the deeply polarised country of 19 million people will be obligatory.
