SANTIAGO - Harnessing the same energy that has galvanized millions of people to take to the streets in protest, a spectacle unseen since the bloody fight against a dictatorship three decades ago, Chileans have organized town halls to take the country’s future into their own hands.
The meetings seek to find resolutions to the profound inequalities that are driving unrest that has killed at least 23 and injured more than 2,000, with more than 7,000 arrested. The cost to the country is estimated at $3 billion in damages and lost earnings. “What do we want to do and who do we want to do it with?” were questions Selles asked the groups to consider.
Opposition parties have backed calls for a new constitution but it is unclear whether they will attract broad political backing.
