Chileans Wary as They Vote for New Constitution That Would Upend Free Market Model

SANTIAGO, Chile—Chileans will vote Sunday on whether or not to undertake a brand new structure that may overhaul Chile’s financial and political system by granting expanded rights to indigenous individuals, putting restrictions on its mining sector and scrapping its Senate.

Approval of the 50,000-word structure could be a victory for the nation’s new leftist president, Gabriel Boric, a former college protest chief who took workplace earlier this 12 months at age 36 and pledged to tackle inequality and develop the state’s role in the economy.
