After President Gustavo Petro learned of the results of the plebiscite held in Chile to draft a new Constitution, the president wrote on his Twitter account, “Pinochet revived.”
This September 5, Federico Gutiérrez referred to the same dictator and Petro did not hesitate to answer his trill.
With 99.74% of the tables counted, the ‘Rejection’ option won in the referendum in Chile. The idea was to make a new Magna Carta, in order to put aside the one that was drawn up during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.
It’s not a secret that Gustavo Petro, president of Colombia, expected a different result. In fact, after the option he had won was announced, the president reacted.
“Pinochet revived”, was what he wrote and added: “Only if the democratic and social forces unite, will it be possible to leave behind a past that stains all of Latin America and open the democratic alamedas”.
