Alborada

Chileans will vote on Sunday 25 October whether to start the process of drawing up a new constitution and how the process will be conducted.

Chile’s constitution is a legacy of the Pinochet dictatorship and has come to symbolise the embedded inequalities that sparked a year of mounting popular protests.The plebiscite on 25 October must determine whether to start the process of drawing up a new constitution and how the process will be conducted.Even if the plebiscite endorses both the change and the establishment of a constituent assembly, many in the popular movements fear that they will be excluded and the old, discredited political parties will manipulate the process.On the day after the vote we explore what the results mean for the future of democracy in Chile.<a href="https://alborada.net/events/chile-october-plebiscite/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://alborada.net/events/chile-october-plebiscite/</a>Speakers:- Héctor Ríos Jara is Phd research student in social science at University College London, University of London.
