Chilean president-elect Gabriel Boric urges citizens to back constitution rewrite

Boric envisions a greener, fairer and more inclusive country, reflecting the generational shift underway in Chile

Chile's future as a greener, fairer country, depends on the success of efforts to rewrite the country's dictatorship-era constitution, president-elect Gabriel Boric said on Tuesday.

After a meeting with the delegates elected last year to rewrite the 1980 constitution which enshrined the ideological legacy of General Augusto Pinochet, Boric called for Chileans to unite behind the project.
