| Topic | Chile's millenial leftists government in shambles |
| ToteAll 07/04/23 11:44:50 AM #8: | s0nicfan posted... What happened? I did a little bit of digging and found a single interview that roughly summarizes the situation as all the right-wing parties decided to work together, the left parties collapsed under infighting, and the party in power wrote an incoherent Constitution that was so long and so sloppy that it would have been a disaster if it was actually approved. Oof so much more has happened since then. We got a new process to change Pinochet's constitution, with a smaller council and more steps. First step was that non-democratically designed "experts" would write a draft of the new constitution. Interestingly enough that draft isn't half bad (it's where we currently are at).Then the new elected council would review and change it. But, plot twist, Chilean's fucking Republican party (which is relatively new and had it's first significant victory just a year earlier by going to second round on presidential elections, massively outpeforming the traditional right) got 23 out of the 50 seats in the council. So now we get to pick between Pinochet's constitution or 2023 Chilean Republican's constitution. There's also a fucking bunch of blunders the government has had in this period, including pardoning literal criminals and saying "oops", as well as corruption, from the young pristine generation that was all about ending corruption. SaikyoStyle posted... The Chilean people will now deliver their country back into the hands of far-right mutants and then stand around wondering where all their freedom went? Pretty much. I refuse to exculpate this government from all the incompetence and corruption that will lead to this, though. Carljank posted... Fuck man they were doing so well. Had the highest standard of living in Latin America... Still does. Why do you think that will change? ... Copied to Clipboard! |
