November 22, 2019On 15 November President Sebastián Piñera announced an agreement among all political parties to hold a referendum in 2020 about a new Constitution, which was part of the main demand of those protesting since 18 October. The President previously decreed the end of the state of emergency, effectively taking the army from the streets on 27 October. We are closely following the dire situation in the country and will set a new campaign on this human rights crisis.
