Chileans on Sunday appeared to deliver a resounding rejection to a new leftist constitution that aimed to transform the country into a more egalitarian society.
In a referendum, Chilean voters were asked to approve or reject a proposal to replace the country’s 1980 dictatorship-era constitution — considered one of the most market-friendly in the world — with one of the world’s most inclusive.

I've seen it written that Chile is,by far,the most stable and civil country in Central/South America.

IDIOTS - why didn’t they just rig the election like we do in the ‘Advanced Countries’?

The proposed Constitution was far far left.
Left of Cuba and Venezuela.

The proposed Constitution was far far left. Left of Cuba and Venezuela. It will be implemented anyway.
Their betters were just giving the peasants the opportunity to willingly submit.
Now other means will be employed.

Could the article be any more biased?

Yup...I'm sure that Chile has Marxists just as we do. But the point is that the voters rejected it...”decisively”.
To: Gay State Conservative
It’s also one of the most beautiful countries in the world. A well kept secret.

So, in LeftWorld, “inclusive” and “market friendly” are antonyms.
Interesting.
To: Gay State Conservative
The vote today was the good news.
There is potential bad news.
Instead of writing another Constitution to be voted on again, the leftists may try to amend the current Constitution to push thru their changes.
Apparently the vote threshold to amend the current Constitution was lowered.
We shall see.

Let’s hope the communists don’t impose their constitution anyway.

Chilean voters are smart enough to reject the Left
While Red state Governors, all over the US, are doing everything they can to help Liberals/Democrats/Progressives invade their respective states and ruin them. Smiling about all the “jobs” that are coming but very few end up going to the ‘locals’.

THIS is how you spin biased, filthy propaganda as news. WaPo is really good at it.
