First modification:
Chile overwhelmingly rejected the new Constitution with 62%. The result is a very hard blow for the Government of Gabriel Boric, who had bet everything on a “yes” victory and who has had to reshuffle his cabinet to face a new stage and move towards a new constituent process. The majority of Chileans said in the past that they wanted to break with Pinochet’s constitution, but now they also say no in this way.
In the face of rejection, Boric has turned to the center by remodeling his cabinet and approaching the traditional center-left. Does he again show that plasticity that characterizes the young Chilean leader? What lessons does this rejection leave? Is the constitutional process in any case irrevocable? How will it be done from now on? We analyze it in this chapter of Spotlight with our guests:
– Marie-Laure Sara de la Vaissière, professor and researcher at the Catholic Institute of Paris.
– Paola Martínez Infante, independent journalist.
– Manuel Suzarte, doctoral candidate in history at the Institute of Advanced Latin American Studies.
