Municipal Plebiscite of Vitacura
The Municipal Plebiscite of Vitacura was a citizen consultation held in the municipality of Vitacura, Santiago de Chile, on March 15, 2009, whose central theme was the approval (through the "Yes" option) or rejection (through the ?No? option) on behalf of the neighbors, for three changes in the Municipal Regulatory Plan on the question of real estate speculation. The plebiscite was of an obligatory and binding nature, and the "NO" option was the winner in all three of the matters that were voted on, always with more than 70% of the votes. The outcome constituted a great defeat for the Municipality of Vitacura that was in favor of the development of the mentioned projects.
