President Gabriel Boric, expressing concern about a recent drop in public support for Chile’s new constitution, called for broader agreements and for confronting doubts on the new charter head-on.
Recent poll data showing the population’s growing mistrust in the Constitutional Convention are a “wake-up call,” Boric told reporters on Tuesday while on official visit in Argentina. He added that he knows people who initially backed a new charter in the 2020 referendum and now have doubts about the process.
