a new constitution. johnny asked to talk about the realities. valentina can mana and also patricia good to have you. welcome back to summer. welcome to come on. oh, nice to have you, valentina, please say hello to our audience around the world. welcome back to the stream, tell them who you are and your connection to the strong constitution process in july. thank you very much for the invitation. my name is valentina my booth and i am the editor of context of a blood digital media that covered in ground the constitutional process. get to have you the minor. c'mon, welcome. nice to have you. please introduce yourself to audience around the world. hi, my name is louis shawl. i'm a senior advisor working for international ideas, constitution building program out of the hey netherlands. i've been involved intuitive for the past years, and of course, following very closely this process also with some travel to taylor in the past months. so really excited to begin. thank you. oh, so good to have you, patricia,

welcome back to the steering wheel. also you a much the 2nd sound. interesting to see how you're doing, but remind audience who you are, what you do, and your connection to this draw constitutional price. sure. to be shenaria. i'm a professor of leaving studies at new york university. i also teach political science and when you get to the dallas and she live an expert on chilly, i'm politics. so i followed the constitution process and everything that came before very closely to patricia, there was something that you said on the show back in march. that duck with me, it was such a vivid metaphor. i'm going to play back to you, and you can tell me where we are with the draft constitution. if that metaphor still stands here is patricio on march, 2nd, on the straight conclusions would ideally be minimal. ambition would probably be one of the longest constitutions in the world, because they are putting lots of things into the constitution. that's never

a good idea. in building constitutions, less is better than having ways too many things. and the constitution will end up looking like a christmas trees, like a christmas tree. we press and for everyone. how's the christmas tree looking? well, lots of presents and not really a mechanism to pay for those press. and so this is one of the longest constitutions in the world. he has a number of sources, right? this is very common in latin american constitutions. the social rights are put into the constitution, but then they are not delivered. they are more enforced. so people get disappointed and discontent with democracy because they were promised something. this is like getting a present in your christmas tree, but the present is really empty. oh my goodness, i'm valentina, i'm just thinking you've been following this entire process. you go. assignment ends on sunday. what stand out for you from reporting this for july, for chile,

and so they understand the entire process. what jumped out to you, what memory would you like to share? well, i think that it was truly an experiment. as they said earlier before, and this experiment, i think people were very interested and see what was going to happen. and what lisa was saying, i think it's also kind of a christmas tree. and he also said in march, less is better, which i agree. and i think that most lawyers agree, but i'm interesting that i have seen in the past month is that a part of the campaign has focused and stating that there are many things that aren't in the proposal. and maybe lawyers are going to agree that it isn't necessary that they are in the proposal, but still there are a, making a little bit of brightness on people saying that because things aren't there. it means that we're not going to have them for their more or the law is not going to include it. so i think that's a very, very interesting thing that has happened at least the few months of the campaign.

come on, you've got so much experience when it comes to constitutions and a new ones, rewriting them. so this one is 54000 words long. it feels like it's a giant constitution. it's huge. if people are voting on it, i really gotta read it by sunday. well that's, that's a good question. i think that it will be hard for most people to read the constitution, but of course there have been civic education campaigns campaigns to inform the public of the contents of constitution. i think the constitution is actually quite interesting. and how is the number of innovation, both the framework of t less constitution based on competition history, and those innovations will probably bring it doesn't draft as a proof, of course, we'll bring in some, some changes in society. so i think it's interesting,

but it's also the framework of global trails on the constitution making, which are quite interesting to follow. all right, now give me one inovation where you, where you were looking at because you've been involved with this rewriting the constitution, creating a new constitution for july. so an innovation that really you look at and you go, wow, what would that be? well, i would say that's parity, not only in the legislature in congress, but also another state institutional credit important innovation was those so demanded by half of the population? right. so i would say that that's a, that's one, but there are so many others as well. so says the gender power to it in public office, the has to be equal jobs, the men and the women. immediately as soon as this constitution is, if, if it is adopted, that will happen immediately. that exists strong nary because for many other places

in the world, it takes you, it will take us 50 years to get to this space or 100 years to get to this space. i want to introduce you to alondra can really know who was part of the drafting committee, and this is what she says about gender poverty in the history of mankind. this is the 1st constitution written by a joint body that has a result in the lives of women girls and brings diversity sexual and gender dissidence or at the center of our constitutional proposal, which could lead to be eradication of centuries old injustice. a filing tina was that something that is resonating with the public in chile, they excited about that part of the draft constitution. i would definitely say it is, or the last years there has been a very strong feminist movement that has asked for more rights for women, for children, for girls or sexual dissidence. so i think it's a very important thing. and for the up a entry read f referendum,

they also asked for gender parity. as we saw, the 50, a 154 constitutional work, half women have men. so it, and last thing assembly member said that it was going to be difficult to turn it to have a result that wasn't similar to the way that this constitution was written. so up, the parody concept was really, really present among all the discussion. and now we can see really materialized and people i up of course women are very happy with this idea. just, i just going back to sort of political routes. what is the purpose of a new constitution? for chile, it feels like everybody's hopes and dreams are in this $54000.00 word document that goes on the page off the page of the page. is that the ideal for a constitution? what should she like be asking for? out constitutional should be the rules of the game. they are not merely c documents . we are not documents about where we want the country to go. but rather what the

rules are for how the political process we play out in the country. and i think many people and she looked confused in other places as well. confuse the component of the rules of the game, which are not very clear in the constitution. and the policy objectives, which should be part of the political process, not part of the constitution. after all, every 4 years we have elections so that people choose whether they want to go right or left backwards or 4 or 4 worth in, in the political process. so considerations do discuss and i'm going to take issue with the earlier statement made by the political economists constitutional, discuss the inequality all the time. the us constitution, for example, has an amendment that establishes what amendment america that establishes that a black person at leave would come for 2 or 3 fifths of a person. so consider this, i have always been about the rules of the game. this constitution is

a lot about policy object. we think that confuses a little bit. what considerations should be about this coming draft constitution doesn't say how many legislatures there will be in congress. but he does say that she let you prioritize for relations with latin american countries. those are police issues, not consideration, and the same issues i think, and you got a concentration of guidelines and principles as to how policy should be formed. right. and i do have in the lecture wait a 2nd, the list of surgeon economic rights as long of course. but it leaves a lot to actually implementation to, to the congress, to legislate. so it gives a lot of, i mean, it gives the patient, but at the same time it's at least quite a lot of space for congress to actually make policy. and it doesn't, it doesn't,

it doesn't really determine the way that the policy is going to be. i think that another problem that is also confusing the citizens is that this government, that is the vice president of the body has made the idea that the success of the own government depends on the success of the referendum in case that they will win . and that also generates a problem because people tend to think that giving us some sub to that project is also giving us some up to the president and his government. and this is, i think of why he because asked, but they just said this is about the rule of the game and not the rules of the government. the constitution is supposed to be think for 34 years ahead and not only 4 or 4 year term for presidential term. so i think that and this moment in the congress and the government that has been a while idea about how the country should read this contribution and it isn't necessarily attached to the government. it's more attached to the state as

a general idea. i am wondering what the atmosphere is like in chill a right now pose, and not necessarily the best barometer for how people are feeling, but it gives us a little bit of an idea of a look here on my laptop. so the green bar means that population approves a certain part of the population approve of the draft constitution. the pink reject the gray. don't know. so august the 19th. the yes, let's go for this new constitution. 37 percent. august the 7th. 43 percent. yet let's go for the new constitution and august the 19th. 33 percent. yes, that's go says new constitution. all of that time the reject percent of the people polled fake. no. we don't fill this. what does that sound like though on the ground that's happened? listen to

a 2 lane who is very keen for this draft constitution process and somebody here with it. take a look. people you see this process has involved all of us equally. we have seen all of our rights made visible rights that we have fought for through the feminist movements, the women's movement. it is a historical struggle that we have been carrying out in july for many years. and today, all generations are united to say that we approve it, i'm waiting until they will hit it. say, there is a little book called the constitution. that is the origin of all of our problems. and they say, that's another little book called the new constitution is going to be the solution to all our problems. i don't think the solution is just to write something down. what we really need a good public policy when i'm not, that's our political. and if they spat patricia, what are your family or your friends feeling at the moment? i don't think they're really representative because they all live in the united states right now in prag. so i haven't been to t live for, for

a couple of weeks. but i'm not really predicting very well who we vote since we don't have a likely voter. we don't really know how many new people will show up. this is technically a mandatory voting seats when everyone goes to show up. how do you not know if it's mandatory, every voting i don't have to show up? do they know petitioner? well, there are lots of things that are mandatory and people don't do so simply by saying that it's mandatory. you're not going to get many people to show up. it's boating. it's like smoking. if you didn't do it by the time you were 40, you're probably not going to do it. and there are many older she lands who never voted younger people night to now to vote. but the older population that never bought it, we probably not bother to show up and vote on sunday. so if we don't know who's likely voter it's very difficult to predict what the results will be. fine. okay. i

think that's something that we have to consider is that are in the end 3 breath random. there still was a very, very big percentage of people who wanted the constitution around 80 percent of the people now. and despite what happens, i think that the percentage are going to be much closer around 55 percent. again, 45 percent. i don't know where tops is going to wind though, but i think that the presenter is going to be much, much closer. because in this whole year of the work of the constitutional convention, we saw that people weren't necessarily happy with the outcome of what they did and looking with some of their behaviors among the, the monks that they worked. there was some conflicts. there were some polemical, fake polemic things. so i think that despite may be a liberal, when that doesn't mean that the general, the public, the population, like a big number of them, are going to be very happy with the result. you've got some really interesting comments here on youtube, so let me start with making that stop with see if this constitution is

a victory for democracy on the falls. the way the debate is dominated by the spread of force. information makes me doubt if the process is sufficiently independent. earlier we spoke to jennifer who made a very similar point. this is what she told us with us, you shall process was sparked by demands for more just and equitable society. and so the outcome of sundays referendum signals, whether countries can use constitution making to improve satisfaction with democracy. and the new constitution's defeat would signal the triumph of anti democratic forces. that's because the opponents to the new constitution are not just expressing policy disagreement. they are relying on fake news and fear mongering to undermine the new constitution's legitimacy. for example, they demonize marginalized social groups like indigenous peoples, circulating falsehoods on social media like the new constitution will allow indigenous peoples to steal your house. these tactics are straight out of the trump

and boston are a playbook and their global diffusion is extremely concerning. valentina, can you tell us what about the misinformation? some of the most outrageous rumors that you've heard you've read, you've seen? well, for example, ok. now that be a cool women writes, and one of those rights of reproductive rights is that people can do abortions. some people have said that they're going to allow abortions until 9 months pregnancy, that it's basically when the child support. so there are many, many things like they're going to take a where you houses or for example, that there's isn't going to be any more police that people are very afraid of. and this is very, very effective because we know that when people get afraid, are angry about something that is a very, very like a group that touches you very deep inside. so you get really convinced about that. and you don't wonder if the information that you're receiving is correct or isn't correct. you just get by a lot of emotions and just ask jennifer said it, that's

a very strong tragedy of fake news and this information. and i, we have seen a very, very strongly this past month. audiences from but let me, let me think, get the issue with any 1st. i mean, jamie, for him live that boating reject. it's kind of anti democratic. that's also fake news. i mean, jennifer is embarking on the same kind of fake news that she accuses the others to do that are to legitimate options on sunday. you can both approve or vote to reject for this consideration, but he doesn't mean that you're anti democratic if you both are one or the other. this is really i have to say. then we get commodity in here, valentino, then you can come off to come on, come on a, you go ahead, go ahead. i do think that there are some legitimate concerns as to the constitution may be less as to what the constitution says, but more what the constitution doesn't and how the constitution will actually be implemented. but another very interesting thing is that even those, even,

even the rejection contains those that are for rejection. they are still in a great percentage once a new constitution to be adopted even if it's not this one. right? and that is, that is really interesting because going back to the $980.00 constitution does not seem, at least in the long term, to be a real option. i'm not, i just wanted to pick a bank of that because bright is on youtube right now. and his question to you panel, what was it about the o constitution? didn't work for the people of chile patricio. well, it depends on what your viewpoint this, but they all constitution lacked. a legitimate origin was written out of their, the military, you paid or should it produce the space for democracy to grow and consolidate since democracy was restored in 1990 had a number of authoritarian enclaves,

but the country did reduce poverty and inequality. 990, probably not fast enough or not as far as menu 5 wanted to. but democracy did flourish under the constitution. but the origin of that constitution was clearly illegitimate because he worked in bones by a military dictatorship. i didn't feel like i had to have some more ad. yes. i think that there's something that people still question that is that when the protest started and absorber 2900 people were, they wanted more equal. right. that's something that everyone knows. and the, the political solution to that was the new constitution, but people in the street they weren't asking for a new constitution. so i don't know if that be an period bad watcher said if i can be young 3rd. because now when the political parties offered beneath this new constitution, what the president said, we have to have a new constitution. everybody was on board, but it wasn't the think that the people in the street asked for. so maybe the

people have this idea that the new constitution is going to give them many more rights and is going to reduce the inequality. but we're not 100 percent. sure that, that is going to happen. it's depart depends on the public policy. that, of course, have a very, very big base with the constitution, but it isn't just enough. but i think that people have to be really conscious of that because the high expectations this new constitution has maybe aren't, aren't going to be enough, or what people lot want to briefly go ahead. well, on the, on the concentration as to the written tax, it needs to be implemented, right? so public policies are the center of how this constitution will be implemented and whether it will be it will respond to the needs and demands of the population. and those that the boys november 2019. so i do think that it will be seen. i mean, a lot of things off the constitution tax presentation will be seen once it starts

being submitted. and another interesting thing is that it is that colonel congress of a just selected in november, december last year that will be in charge of implementing it for the next 3 years in case that it is approved. an interesting point that even though it's amanda free referendum, patrice pointed out that not everybody does what they're supposed to do. so we do not know what will happen on sunday, but i want to include 2 important voices. one voice is a yes, this is important draft constitution. the other voices. i am voting know. so you can hear for people who are actually going to vote what decisions are going to make happiness and how to look in it, went to her not to let me know the current constitution. there is not a paragraph, an article, a line, a word that mentions the native people in the new proposal that will be voted on september 4th and for which we call for approval. there are 55 articles dedicated to indigenous people. yeah. mom will have it all out. i went to that i canceled my

vote now because i feel that although it is true that generating a new constitution is super important. the idea of creating it was born at a time of great crisis in our country. therefore, it was not a decision that was made on the basis of objectivity, mainly because she was going through a very difficult time. go on, but all the questions that come on this is dipping into her expertise. the referendum question on sunday will be, do you approve the text of the new constitution proposed by the constitutional convention? is that a good question to ask you like? very good, sir. i suppose it is. i suppose it is here now. i mean, the work of the country for mention has been in the media for the past year, and so for everybody is looking forward to going and voting and also passing the page and seeing what the future holds for them. thank you, kimono,

patricio valentino. as we lead up to the referendum, virtually the draft constitution keep watching out 0 to find out what the result will be. and so watch it. take care. i'll see you next time. ah oh, it's jen and he's in the police violently dispersing price. has this, these are some of good tens of thousands of people joy to flee. gobble inspired program making. welcome to generation chains, unrivalled broadcasting. white people did not want black children in the schools. we have to apply for crafted and al jazeera english proud recipient of the new york festivals broadcaster of the year award for the sick da running. this is architect by john now his self appointed title to create sustainable housing for the rural
