This Monday, LGBT organizations turned to National Television Council of Chile withdraw the commercial against the new Constitution, which will be a plebiscite in two weeks. These organizations condemned that the television material “promotes violence and the silence of the victims.”

In the advertisement, which lasts just over 2 minutes, a young man tells how he was forced to train. prostitution and was attacked with bullets by a client he decided do not report “for love”.

“The day of the accident, I was shot with a shotgun. It was a client who owes me money. (…) After all, I didn’t sue the client, it was my first act of love,” said the young man, who gave his name Alexander Matilda.

“If we loved each other more, I would not have been shot. If we loved each other more, Chile wouldn’t have so many crimes. If in Chile we loved each other more, we would not have approved the text that the constitutional convention wrote” added Matilda in the controversial audiovisual piece.

According to Ramon Gomez, a spokesman for the Movement for Homosexual Integration and Liberation (Movilh), “Neither television nor any media can be a channel confirm violence not to mention urging the victims to remain silent,”

What is described in the video, the activist added, “this is not an act of love, it is untimely usel a political slogan degrading human dignity.”

“Rejecting a message is an act of violence”

Director of Fundación Iguales, Elizabeth Love, For his part, he pointed out that “refusal to condemn is an act of violence” and “allows violence to rage freely.”

“The video they released as part of the Refusal campaign is victim insultfor their families and for all the people who work to make the country more worthy and equal,” he added.

More than 15 million Chileans are called to the polls on September 4 to decide whether they want to approve a new constitution or keep the current one inherited from the dictatorship Augusto Pinochet and partially reformed into a democracy.

Recent surveys have found that the text rejection trend continues with a difference of more than 10 points.

The right and part of the center-left will vote against, qualifying the new text as “radical”while the left campaigns for”I approve”, although he promised to reach a big agreement to reform the most conflicting aspects.

The new rule declares Chile a social state of law compared to a minor state in the current text and enshrines rights such as public and universal health care, free education, higher pensions and access to housing and water.

The multinational nature of the state, the re-election of the president, the justice system and the abolition of the Senate are some of the issues included in the text that raise more questions. (EFE)


The legislator said that economic interests are behind the project, approved at the insistence of the plenary session of the parliament. On the other hand, MP Alex Paredes of the ruling Magisterial Bloc justified his group’s support for the project’s persistence despite the government’s compliance with the law.
