On December 17, 55% of Chilean voters rejected a second constitutional proposal drafted by a majority right-wing council. A previous text, written by a mainly left-wing convention, was dismissed by 62% of voters in the September 2022 plebiscite.
Jorge Barrera-Rojas served as a Chief Counsel of the majority in the last attempt, and he will discuss the experience of the drafting process for a new constitution and why citizens finally decided to keep the current constitution. Jorge Barrera-Rojas is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Law and Rodes Jr. Fellow in Law and Religion at the Church, State & Society Program at Notre Dame Law School.
