SANTIAGO - Chilean lawmakers agreed on Friday to hold a referendum next April on replacing the country’s unpopular Pinochet-era constitution, bowing to demands of protesters who say the country’s decades-old social model has created deep inequality.
Amid protests that have raged for a month in the South American nation, Chile’s existing Magna Carta, written and approved during General Augusto Pinochet’s 1973-1990 military dictatorship, has become a lightning rod for anger. Riots, arson and looting have killed more than 20 people, caused extensive damage and prompted President Sebastian Pinera to call soldiers onto the streets. The Chilean peso this week plunged to a new low against the dollar.
