Chile after the referendum: The crisis continues (Interview with Pablo Abufom)

On December 17, Chilean voters rejected a new constitution drafted by conservative lawmakers in a nationwide referendum. The charter would have replaced the neoliberal and authoritarian constitution passed during the Pinochet dictatorship. The vote came more than a year after an overwhelming majority of Chileans also rejected a separate progressive draft that would have strengthened women's and indigenous rights and addressed the environmental crisis. Chilean President Gabriel Boric said Sunday that his government would not seek to change the constitution for a third time. To talk about all this, I spoke to Chilean writer and philosopher Pablo Abufom, editor of the Journal Posiciones and part of the editorial collective of Jacobin Latin America.
