Polarised

The draft constitution is still a long way from being enacted.

Firstly, a national referendum is needed on one article.
Then the assembly will vote on the entire text.
Then another referendum will be called on
the full constitution.

Members of the Constituent Assembly study the proposed changes
before voting
The proposed new charter must be put to the national vote

No date has yet been set for that vote and few expect it
to happen before next September.

The opposition has vowed to fight it every step of the way,
saying it is being enacted illegally.

Boris Medina from the right-wing Podemos party said:
"Every legal rule has been violated.
This constitution is illegal and we'll denounce
it in every forum we can."
