The Polarizing Struggle for a New Constitution: Chile's Upcoming Referendum Democracy's Future?
-
- Государство
On Sunday, December 17, Chilean voters are required to vote to accept or reject a proposed new constitution for Chile. Sunday's referendum will shape democracy in Chile for the foreseeable future: can a constitution that served Pinochet's military dictatorship work for democracy? After Chilean voters rejected a progressive constitution in September 2022, will they embrace the right-leaning one now? Democracy's Future is joined by Professor Veronica Undurraga, who was the President of an ideologically balanced Expert Commission that drafted the constitution, which was then redrafted by an elected Constitutional Council dominated by the Right.
