Chilean president Gabriel Boric, who rose to fame as a socialist organizer, vowed on Sunday to continue his efforts to replace the country&#8217;s 42-year-old constitution.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Today the people of Chile have spoken, and they have done so loudly and clearly,&#8221; Boric said. &#8220;This decision by Chilean men and women requires our institutions and political actors to work harder, with more dialogue, with more respect and care, until we arrive at a proposal that interprets us all, that is trustworthy, that unites us as a country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The country adopted its constitution in 1980 after Augusto Pinochet successfully overthrew the socialist regime with a military dictatorship. Roughly 80 percent of Chileans voted to draft a new constitution in 2020, but the constitutional assembly that drafted its replacement faced accusations of left-wing bias. Opponents of the draft noted that the 155-member assembly is largely made up of left-wing lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Chilean peso and stock market skyrocketed on Monday in response to the referendum vote, which upholds the country&#8217;s laissez-faire economic system. Boric said on Monday that renewed efforts to draft a new constitution will have a more moderate approach.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics Proposal would have mandated socialized medicine, enshrined abortion rights  A supporter of the reject option reacts to the results of the referendum on a new Chilean<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":193,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1634207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1634207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/193"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1634207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1634207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1634207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1634207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1634207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
