In 2019 the nation of Chile was shaken by a mass protest movement that has come to be known as the Social Explosion. A central demand of the Social Explosion was the abolition of the current constitution drafted in 1980 under US-backed fascist dictator Augusto Pinochet. In 2020, Chileans overwhelmingly voted for a new constitutional process in a referendum. However, just two years later, a plebiscite overwhelmingly rejected a new proposed constitution. Since then, the far right has hijacked the process by stacking the constituents to create another constitutional draft with their own representatives. The Real News reports from Chile, speaking directly with women and LGBTQ activists at the frontlines of this struggle, who explain how the new constitution has gone from being a vehicle to expand gender equality to a grave threat against women’s rights and LGBTQ rights.

"El fascismo avanza y el gobierno no hace nada para detenerlo" literalmente es la gente que voto y pide que el gobierno lo pare? los zurdos hablan de fascismo cuando ellos son la definición exacta de lo que acusan.
This is great, basically a small protest movement found out they are the real minority and have unleashed the silent majority to draft the new constitution. Its all over but the coping and seething.
What Chile needs now is a new Pinochet.
Based. Down with marxist communist doctrine !!!!
Nazi ideology Technologies at work.
Chile deserves so much better than this after their history with the savage coup of Allende and that horrific fascist period under Pinochet. Best wishes from the UK ✊
Honor y Gloria al General Pinochet siempre.
Thanks for covering this
So that’s what Post Modern Feminism and LGBTQ Activists look like WITHOUT Corpo backing…
Huh, who would guessed: no progress.
I’m sure the NGO’s will arrive soon…
Or stay in America and Europe, laughing at the fact that if the corporations don’t back you:
You lose. Funny stuff though. NGOs have had these movements a Corpo joke:
Lose the Corpo’s, you get a joke result like this.
Good thing they don’t want Corporate Sponsership and interven…
Oh wait. Shit.
“We want a end to Fascism!”
“How?”
“We need to push Corporate Fascist ideas!”
Anyone with a brain cell, “Wait… what in the Fuck?”
Post Modern Leftism aka Centrism aka Modern Fascism 101.
Guess the scam works everywhere.
Another nation going down through a woke agenda which clearly goes against God. Have fun with that. To think Chile was once a haven of sanity.
Blatant bias in this piece of propaganda.
People these days are really testing God's patience. I don't know how he puts up with our crap. That's how you know how great his mercy is.
American imperialist's should not tell other countries how to live. How many countries have we already destroyed. We should clean our house before we try to clean up the rest of the world.
✊🏽
Un millón de gracias 🙏🏽🇨🇱💯
The CIA and Pinochet took chile back to the dark ages, it’s absolutely disgusting
I’m not sure why you haven’t drawn the link between the far right in Chile and the CIA, it’s been there since Pinochet
This is sad, we all need to pray for this world and all of its vile evil ways needs to be destroyed.
What about the extreme left,we dont want a comunist goverment like venezuela
A point of propaganda is how the socialist/communist point to their position as more fair and equal. Nothing could be farther from the truth!
Chilean people: We want a constitution that protects our rights.
Chilean conservatives: Meet the new constitution, same as the old constitution.
There are people, all around the world, who are determined to destroy themselves.
At any cost.
Thank you for this insightful update❤
Listen this is not General Pinochet of the 70's This is mass lunacy of kids who need to get a life.
Is the American government the same as Murphy's Law?
People are sick and tired of the lies of the Marxist far left. The people of Chile have seen the lies of the Marxist In Venezuela, and the Sexualization of children here in the United States along with the murders of tens of millions of unborn babies, it's Genocide. abortion beyound the point of when a baby can feel is wrong up to the point of birth that's murder!! Thank God the majority of the people of Chile agree!
Hope that their constitution means more that America's.
Thank you again, Real News Network.
Our involvement with Chile and the removal of Allende and placing in of Pinochet was a disaster, as we all know.
Kissenger, I wonder at the age of 100 years old how he can sleep at night?
No reflection of a man with great intellect.
That also involves many of our leaders today.
