About This Trend

Constitución refers to the Chilean constitution, specifically the ongoing process of rewriting it. Chileans are demanding a new constitution to replace the one imposed during the Pinochet dictatorship (1973-1990), which has been seen as a symbol of inequality and social injustice. The trend is popular on social media as citizens are taking to Twitter to share their hopes and expectations for a more just and equitable society, and to voice their opinions on the drafting process.
