Process to Write New Constitutional Plebiscite Agreed

CHILE
  • Political parties in Chile have agreed to revive the process to write a new constitution after three months of intense negotiations, following September’s rejection of a first proposal.
  • The new process, which both chambers in congress must approve, includes the creation of a constitutional council of 50 elected officials and a commission of 24 experts. The Senate and Lower House will each appoint half of the experts.
  • The commission is expected to commence work in January to serve as a basis for the council to work on, Senate president Alvaro Elizalde said Monday in a televised press conference.
    • Members of the council will then be elected in April, and a draft should be presented in October.
    • A final plebiscite would happen in November or December 2023.
