The international press highlighted on Sunday that Chile votes divided in the constitutional plebiscite of September 4.
Spain’s El País newspaper said the referendum would be resolved by a narrow margin. “Within hours of choosing between approving or rejecting the proposal for a new Constitution, the country oscillates between anger and hope,” the media said.
Meanwhile, BBC Mundo outlined on its cover the “six major changes” proposed by the new Constitution, and that “the government will seek to make modifications even if it is approved.” He also mentioned the factors that explain the political and social division caused by the proposal.
Meanwhile, Deutsche Welle highlighted the vote of former President Michelle Bachelet, “a supporter of the ‘I approve’ option, who stressed that even if it were to win, there is a will among the supporters to be able to specify or make adjustments in the text. Or if he loses, they propose a new convention.”
“Chile in its labyrinth: what if the Rejection of the new Constitution wins?” headlined El Espectador de Colombia.
For its part, the newspaper La Nación of Argentina pointed out that “The constitutional plebiscite defines the course of Chile and the future of the Boric government,” while Infobae indicated that “Chile decides in a plebiscite between a liberal or more solidary society.”
