3:19 am
a vote to elect 155 delegates to rewrite the country's dictatorship era constitution half the seats are reserved for women and 17 for indigenous people many say a new constitution will address social inequality issues that need to violent protests nearly 2 years ago it's also seen as a test of support for the government ahead of presidential elections in november that speak to christina 6 went is about this she is an analyst and journalist who covers chile in the is joining us via skype from santiago very good to have you with us on al-jazeera christina when we were speaking to our correspondent in santiago an hour ago she said that the turnout hasn't hasn't been overwhelming in this vote which is surprising when you consider the number of people who turned out to protest and demanding new cost to sion how do you explain this this what seemingly low turnout. well this has it various we saw scenes we call it a voluntary voting 2012 we have seen lawn chair now in elections and this also was
3:20 am
not not only will the members of the assembly but also we were elected in maine years. and also governor so there were many votes that people had to do in and there's a lot of critics of the political class so people were it was very confusing for people as well that was a long pole so there were many candidates so that's why people were not encouraged to go into the polls and won't so that could explain well i'm not so the been that meek we've got our high number of cases right now so that from people who are weary about it right but the it was expected about 30 percent of the vote which is normal for an election in maine here see in chile right as you say the process is going to be a complicated one it's a complicated one and it's going to be
3:21 am
a long one also how do you see it play out and is there a real sense of what the assembly is going to do when when it's formed. it's what it's about is if we expect along. the vote is very complicated to and the government is expecting a 3rd of their pendennis to be elected and some member of the assembly that would be a good number for them and it is expected as well that they do well because they were very organized they went in one list and then there is not the government winning one little while they are seizure was a scattered in different lists so. it does that's what it is i suspect there and i don't know if that could still feel the expectation of people who protest in just an 18 let's talk about the expectation of the people what exactly are they and what is it about the previous chilean constitution that people dislike so much i mean 30
3:22 am
years on aside from the fact of course that it was promulgated by a dictator what was wrong with it and what do people want. well in 1980 there was a lot of fear when they voted that many people in also with very it was fraudulent because even their people voted as it was a constitution made a pinochet made by events in it was very well made they have a lot of child so it was difficult for the 7 marcus e.g. we forgot that there were many forms but not. very know very carefully the form because there were there were so many constraints so now people want they were asking for change in the new tense up there the pension the education so there were so many issues that needs to be addressed that are expected to be in the constitution well we're not sure if that this going to be addressed because of the as well and with the way the pending on how many. members of the assembly are from
3:23 am
there of the coalition who didn't want to change. all right. it is that understand because i guess. there were a lot of members that probably didn't want to change the constitution and it is going to be all in the assembly so to be interesting to see what actually changes after this or thank you so much for speaking to us christina if went to slide there in santiago thank you for your time thank you. over a 1000 people have died from corona virus in brazil in the past day half the number recorded a day earlier in the country has also seen a drop in new cases from 67000 on saturday to around 41000 it comes as the country's slow vaccine rollout continues and some states begin easing restrictions health experts are warning the moves are premature overall brazil has recorded more
