Protests Force Referendum To Reform Pinochet-Era Constitution

SANTIAGO, CHILE - NOVEMBER 15: Demonstrators use green laser lights to riot police officers during a protest against policies of Sebastian Piñera and longstanding inequality on November 15, 2019 in Santiago, Chile. Chilean lawmakers agreed on calling a referendum in April 2020 to replace the current constitution, written and approved during General Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship in 1980. People will be asked if they approve the idea of a new Magna Carta and if current lawmakers should work on the redraft of the document. (Photo by Marcelo Hernandez/Getty Images)
