It is the worst paradox that marks the last cycle of Gabriel Boric's government in Chile. That youth brigade, headed not only by the president, without intermediate stages, burst into political reality and then into power with the banner of erasing the traces of the Pinochet dictatorship and resolving an essential issue in that country related to equity. But this Sunday Boric and his people will be the sentinels of the opposite, the guardians of the permanence of the text that put together that brutal regime, subjected, it is true, to dozens of reforms but with that mark of origin.
Chileans, overwhelmed by two years of debates and Europe Mobile Number List without progress, will have to vote for the second time on a draft Constitution, which will probably end in rejection as happened in the first attempt in September . This new alternative, unlike the previous one developed by a dogmatic minority of the left, repeats the same defect on the opposite side by constituting an edifice built almost exclusively by right-wing and extreme right-wing parties. It was the surprise of the Constituent Assembly last May. Even part of those who consecrated this government left the ruling party very far from the 21 seats necessary to influence the drafting of the document and handed control to the Republican Party of the former far-right candidate José Antonio Katz, with whom Boric fought for the presidency.
That sector, unlike other right-wing parties, did not want to touch a single point of the Constitution of Augusto Pinochet, whom they admire . So its creature occupies reverse or null social positions with respect to what the promoters of this leap in the institutional quality of the country aspired to. According to polls, which in Chile disappear 15 days before the polls, the "no " marches with a large majority, that is, it would win the rejection again . Some caution is also advisable. Polls not only in that country have shown extraordinary failures. In the vote of the previous attempt they gave the ruling party a tie or a winner.
