Abstract: Since October 2019 until the present, Chile has undergone a series of significant changes. Protests led to the calling of a constitutional convention, but the process was marked by divisions and ideological biases. The September 2022 referendum revealed a shift in public opinion from supporting constitutional amendments to rejecting them, influenced by fear-mongering campaigns and the perception that the proposal didn't address real needs. Gabriel Boric's government faced challenges, focusing on the constitutional process at the expense of economic and social concerns, which increased disapproval. This period underscored the need for more agreements and progressive reforms to enhance quality of life, raising questions about the effectiveness of the process.
