translated from Spanish: 78% of Chileans believe human rights are “systematically” violated in the country

78.3% of Chileans believe that the human rights of the country’s citizens are currently being violated “systematically” and 76.9% of them are “agreeing” with the protests that have taken place since October. This has been revealed by the ‘Social Thermometer’ survey of the University of Chile, which is almost 65 percent of the percentage of Chileans who agree to continue the mobilizations, as reflected by Radio Cooperativa.In this context, only 12.4 percent of respondents are in “disagreement or totally at odds” with the mobilizations and 28.4 percent prefer that they do not continue. As for the actions of the country’s security forces in the context of the protests, which kicked off on 17 October, 90.6 per cent of the participants in the survey justify “never or few times” the use of tear gas, while 96.6 per cent are against the use of Balinese and/or pellets to disperse marches. PLEBISCITO IN APRILThe survey has also dealt with the plebiscite planned for April 2020, in which Chileans will vote to change the country’s Constitution. Thus, 89.9 per cent of respondents say they will take part in the vote, but 42.5 per cent are “unhappy” with the signing of the pact that makes it possible, compared with 30.2 per cent who are “content”. On November 15, the Government and opposition announced an agreement to replace Magna Carta, which has been in Charge in Chile since 1981, so it is popularly known as the ‘Pinochet Law’. The plebiscite will propose two alternatives: a constituent assembly composed of citizens elected for this purpose or an instance involving at least 50 per cent of congressmen and the other half with members elected for this purpose. Constitutional change is the main demand for protests since October in Chile. They began to denounce the fourth rise in the price of the subway in a few months and quickly climbed to denounce social inequality. At least 22 people died from the suppression of demonstrations, which have already declined.
