Chile to re-write Pinochet-era constitution in win for protesters 0 SHARES Share it! Interior Minister Gonzalo Blumel said the president, cabinet members and political allies had agreed Congress should lead the process of re-writing the constitution. Opponents of the overhaul say the current charter has been a pillar of stability for Chile, among the region’s strongest and most investor-friendly economies. Blumel did not give a timeline for the process but said that the government would move quickly to begin. “The best way to proceed is via Congress, with participation from citizens, and then, to submit it to a plebiscite,” Blumel said.
