pinochet's legacy cast a very long south. changing of the guard in she lay closer. on d w. we got some hot tips for your bucket list. ah, magic corner tread hotspot for food chairs and some great cultural memorials to build w travel off we go. since march 2020 to chili has had a new president gabrielle breech, 36 years young, a former student later the latin american country is now undergoing major political change from right to left. the former conservative president sebastian pin yerra,

has been replaced by a young progressive left his leader, who's not from the party establishment. but from the student movement, he helped to lead to student protests that began in 2011 with thousands demanded educational reform. ah 56 percent of chiles. electric voted for breach and now they're expecting him to deliver. oh, we would have thought of in the youngest president in chillies history has promised social justice, equality and action on the climate. his cabinet is made up of more women than men for the indeed in us population breach has promised

a fair dialogue to resolve centuries old territorial conflicts. and the l. g, b, t q i community is expecting him to put an end to the discrimination they face. can the new president live up to people's expectations? one long while we need to redistribute the wealth that is produced by the men and women of chile, by all the people who live in our country with this. if the wealth is only restricted to a small number of people, it's very difficult to have peace about the gap between chiles rich and poor is one of the largest in the world. in his pointers is proud of her new home. it's the 1st time in her life that she has had a place of her own. although it's not legal. she's never had it easy in life. she comes from a poor farming family and had to work even as a child. i comalla macbeth,

you'll be setting myself up in a small room and learning how to access water. and there are all things that i learned from my mother. she was a seem stress. so she was always turning one thing into something else. when i moved in here, i didn't have a single piece of furniture, for example, when the yellow thing again at the local conway. innes only had a tent and a mattress when she decided to occupy this piece of land 2 years ago. what about this is my water reserve in the tank? it's half empty. i still need to fill it. i built this wall with my own hands. that's why like me, my house is small but nice. better go when the number of illegal settlements has doubled in chilly over the past 3 years,

alongside the nurse, more than 2000 families now live here. the plot of land they occupied is 40 head close in size and was once covered in debris. they cleared the land and began building houses. and so far, the private land owners have not sought legal action. if now the biggest illegal settlement in santiago de chilly, it was built in 2020 while in other parts of the capital paper were in lockdown at home. it's nearly 10 years since i last visited chile, south americas wealthiest country in terms of per capita income. but despite good economic growth, extreme poverty is still wide spread 30 years after the end of august, or pin a chaise, military dictatorship actually has the lowest tax revenue of all o e c d countries, and the greatest inequality. the corona

virus exacerbated the problems. i arrived to find people queuing for their full shot of vaccine chilly has one of the world's highest vaccination writes for cove at 19 the previous government took care of that. but economically it let many people in the lurch, business owners were given free reign to suspend employees and not pay wages. gabe was joking. most of the elderly are unable to live from their pensions, pension funds in chile, a managed by private sector companies, that invest the money according to gums and guidelines to help people manage. during the pandemic, workers were allowed to withdraw 10 percent of these pension savings.

in his for winters was living with her daughter in a small municipal apartment. when she noticed people beginning to occupy the empty piece of land opposite, she immediately decided to join them. when the, when you, when you push ya, once i was able to withdraw 10 percent of my retirement savings visual. i bought wooden boards for the walls. this all and i was finally able to afford material for the roof and other things. yeah. company beach and when i bought everything 2nd hand, the cobra, one of he lucky he died out there. so i wonder my auntie venus gave the illegal settlement. the name on the weather amana said, or a new dawn. it's also does the 10 percent town, because most of the residents paid for their new homes by drawing out 10 percent of their pension. the withdrawals boosted inflation and further diminished workers may give pensions. but in this doesn't care, figure le, let a very good. in that sense,

the started, the pandemic was a stroke of luck, yada, yada. we were able to occupy this area if you got it, and then the option to withdraw 10 percent of our pension savings. many, many families were able to build homes for themselves. they normally say that again, the food, many people lost their jobs because of the pandemic. living here on this land, if they were able to reduce their living costs, which is the pressure that the increased price of food and rental payments, coupled with high unemployment force, people to seek alternatives. you bought up on them a lot of because of the pandemic, we lost our jobs for 8 months. we weren't able to pay our rent. okay. have you come all? yeah. so our landlady kicked us out, having elizabeth on, that's when we occupied a piece of land here from c, l. c. at 1st we just had a simple hut made of wooden planks. it was really cold for him, but then came the opportunity to withdraw 10 percent of our pension. my husband and

son were then able to build this house, now were protected from the rain and the cold. you mila do variable. i have to admit, i didn't notice this poverty during my earlier trips to ch. yes, i get the one i think in the past, chile manage to keep the poverty hidden again. but now where people have started raising their voices, i'm not even this government will silence again. will they will demand what is due to them. they actually him then again, i got one me on international labor day protest is marched peacefully, calling for workers to be given greater rights, our cameraman, pablo silas, has filmed many such valleys. in 2019, he witnessed and filmed st. battles here as protest turn violent, that it is, every civilian, the violence came from the government that was in power, then the establishment and the elite wanted to continue as though nothing was happening. they did everything they could to suppress the protests with the army

and tanks, the yearning had been in the 1st month alone, demonstrators were attacked with over 2000000 rubber bullet. the repression was terrible, but the uprising was unstoppable. yet. i think by now you ah, it began in october 2019, when high school students protested against the increased ticket process on public transport. the demonstration soon spread with people from across chilion, society venting their anger of economic and social injustice. the protests turned into riot. the conservative government cold in the army, more than 30 people, were killed and 100 sustained bullet wounds. i am a woman and a young 22 year old man went blind as a result, they lost their site forever under the damage is irreparable. this san diego unified allison, i'd say the repression under president vignette was as brutal as under the

dictatorship them without my resume, it today and pavlo solace knows what he's talking about. in the 1980s he filmed protests against the re, jean val castile pinochet's, who came to power and a u. s. backed military, too old resistance against pinochet's, neo liberal policies, was brutally put down. ignoring the protest, the dictatorship introduced to constitution that shrunk the state to a minimum relinquishing many rights and responsibilities to private businesses. the education system, the health system, and the pension system, will all privatized more than 30 years later in 2019, the protest is called for that constitution to be abolished. they demanded a dignified standard of living for all and attack symbols of a late rule patriarchy and colonialism. the focal

point for the protests, a square, commonly known as plaza. italia has been renamed dignity square by the protesters. lorena, with it, unlike us adults, the young people dare to demand justice, glen maddie and preferred an exit. he only then did we older people think if the younger generation can do this lot. so can we, when thought they, they held at us to lose our fear, dunphy, i, gail, i can't bear m burial and yellow. the popular uprising was inevitable, says political scientist, david outman. he told me it was only ever going to be a matter of time. a university professor, an expert in direct democracy, he took part in the protests himself young standing side by side with the students, a ton of wiggle gravel. no one called for these demonstrations to happen here. that's why they referred to as a social explosions. she will in the loop was eating,

there were various groups, various people taking the streets for various reasons. the one common denominator was there longing for a more just and less cruel system of society. i mean, don't hold all men grill lemmy died. there was a desire to put limits on the brutality of the unrestricted market economy. you know, little dog. oh, but if you had asked each demonstrator which political measures should be taken, you'd have gotten a huge mishmash of ideas. but in the former congress building, the results of the uprising was soon evident work began on a new constitution. for me, it was a unique opportunity to see such a document in the making. i discovered very dedicated people immersed in their work . they were given one year to reshape chili's foundations to negotiate the legal

framework for social justice, equal opportunities, protection of minorities, affair economy, the rule of law and democracy. this hugely important mission was not entrusted to lawmakers. instead, an assembly of citizens directly elected by the people worked on the constitution without political intervention. half the delegates were women. if passed, it will be the 1st gender parity constitution in human history. minorities that have traditionally suffered discrimination such as indigenous peoples were also part of the assembly. i spot elisa langon, the 1st president of the constitutional convention, italian, cowen, elise is a linguist and she belongs to chiles largest indigenous group. the more picture. after centuries of discrimination, her election was a huge cause. the celebration amongst the indigenous population look at you. what we have witnessed is a deep crisis of political representation in the government and congress were no

longer representing the interests of the people. today. we know that power must be shared by that women need to be in government and that indigenous people and the regions must also be involved in the democratic process. so they will that add people her people, the map who chair and demanding the return of their ancestral lands in the south of the country. president gabrielle bal, reach, has made efforts to resolve the conflict through dialogue. but so far without success, i said, are you, we've been fighting against the state for more than 200 years, but new generations come and we see peoples are able to liberate themselves in human history. teaches us at repression, can't last forever. that gives us hope elected answer get any of the new president wants to involve the indigenous peoples in the political process as equals his voice support for chile becoming a so called plural national state,

where different groups have certain rights. and i think they're my picture are like us and traditions their laws and their rights. that's why i can identify with them and them, i put a women are definitely fighters. you, them, we're getting map was you from get, ah, appearing national state would recognize the existence of different groups within its borders. affording them political rights and autonomy in certain territories. but the idea is facing a lot of resistance in the capital santiago and not just among the elite or in conservative circles. even former president ricardo lagossi, the socialist party, is skeptical about its inclusion in the dropped constitution. but you did get a few years older than the call it a poor national state if you must. but strictly speaking to be true to history,

one should add when we were in origin, a poor national state. but since then, there's been a lot of intermarriage and mixing. it would be they can, you know, have you ever seen a difference between she lands when the national team qualifies for the world cup of the blue. dallas, where's the floor? a national state then a little bit. do you see any group that's not on board gonna close that with no, we're all united behind our team and we fight together against our neighbors, the argentinians. but equally m. ready oh wow, get them. when the love to lift the lid, welcome thing, little it to seek g official. so what is this actually? are we a poor national state or a state that has found a common national identity called the chalet and nation m. let us really actually ah, when acquisition that, that illegal,

no. so looking for it's good to recognise and understand the differences between that she lands or rather between the people who live in this republic, in this territory. oh, bit of the nest, but to apply different legal systems depending on a person's ethnic origins. who now i don't, i don't know about that. nursing ah, i've come to the coast. the strongest opposition to the new constitution is in conservative and far right circles. chiles. congress is in the port city of val powder e. so here are the arrange to meet with a senator who's known as the closest adviser to president vo reach his far right rival, who he narrowly defeated in the last election. jose manuel russell edwards is a firm believer in chiles, neo liberal system inherited from the dictatorship. he passionately upholds the

ideal of a privatized world, in which the state has hardly anything to say. no thought of lead. i, one of 200 tussle in we are leading the movement to oppose the new constitution will soon embed in our eyes. the constitutional convention is not acting in the interests of the people you're looking. it's proposals are strongly ideological and that will, that's why it's lost credibility authority, and it's gone from an approval rating of 80 percent that are now just 30 or 35 percent leggy, because the delegates have distanced themselves from the people i left out today. and she lay all power is being transferred to the state, but these rights and freedoms don't belong to the state law. they belong to the people. i like the right to education, to health, and to work in the ritual. pow wow. if the lever slona the new left us government is facing an uphill battle, although it has a broad alliance, it doesn't have a majority in congress. emilia schneider is

a member of congress. her party belongs to gabrielle breeches governing coalition broad front. she often criticizes sen, roha edwards, and his right wing policies accusing him of hypocrisy. your father, i'm a woman who is firmly left wing that i don't believe we leftists are in the majority, but i do think people's views the general are becoming more cosmopolitan. more progressive and less conservative, i think won't have and i question how sen raw has conservative outlook, which allows the state to interfere in our private lives. and our sex lives in that can be reconciled with the arguments of freedom that he so cries as the right wing actually wants to restrict everyone's lives. and freedom of a we had say that had said that a lou 26 year old emilia schneider is the 1st transgender lawmaker in chiles. history. president burridge believes and diversity, and that's reflected in his cabinet 2 of his ministers,

a homosexual. ah, if in i'm a transsexual woman, it were witnessing the dawn of a new era until now chile was considered very conservative, but it's becoming more open. we're just experiencing turbulence because of this change. the moment of babylon books are now no justice, no peace. schneider began her political career as a feminist spokesperson for the student movement, rejecting the old country uncle system has become one of the cornerstones of the new government. who will get them. we come from the popular protest movement. we mustn't forget that mamma, moving forward slowly because we want to go far in the world give. i'm only like giving us your g the current generation in power. and sheila believes it knows

about everything. from juliet again, it is only slowly are they beginning to realize that being in power is different? it's not what they expected. indeed, months after being flown into office, the new left us government is now getting pushback from all sides. i happened to enter a street. it's cordoned off by the police. it's yet another protest by students over the conditions in their school. they plan to spend the night here. they say they will hold out until their complaints. i heard what i thought maybe 2nd or 3rd of the believe anybody can vote. we've been pointing out the problems for a long time. for decades actually, under previous governments to them can go to law, the conditions are intolerable. and we have to keep making that clear. you did that for a while. are you also in the law? let a stumbling i'm oklahoma. we hope that progress will be made under the new government

. and the fact that they come from the student movement themselves as no guarantee if they're offering no solutions or bad and having fun enough other at the labor day rallies left wing protest is, are also critical of the new president. many workers here said the increase to the minimum wage announced by gabrielle bal, reach is laughable. without a new constitution, the young ambitious government will struggle to change anything. almost every one here agrees on that. but it will be the people, not the government who decide with the constitution is made into law. a referendum is set for september, the 4th. i'm amazed to learn that only then will the working week, for example, be reduced to 40 hours, as well as many other protections for workers that have long been established in europe or in the little city the ideal.

the new constitution will put an end to the subservient stay. mitchell. instead, we'll have a welfare state based on the rule of law with social and political rights guaranteed . and will it be? workers will have a right to strike the right to collective agreements to participate in company decisions live. there will be the right to housing and literally the under the right to fair working conditions and a suitable place to live is something enos fuentes could only ever dream about it. but she too, is hoping for higher wages and access to better health care. dingo and i have a problem with my elbow. it's probably come from working. i don't know what will become of me. and maybe they'll insist i retire early up africa. it's painful for me to steer the forklift truck that i drive. the doctor touched the spot here and it was immediately painful. it's like a shooting pain of like

a yackel here. if you do your arms a painful get out of and they're like an expression of your life. you have so many symbols tattooed on them down to the feet, but yes, each one has a meaning. the vehicle again. mm hm. this is my mother. if she died 8 years ago on august 31st 2014, you know that what i let me cut off? and on the other arm, i have the phoenix because this bird always rises up again, like even when it's dying and it rises up from the ashes. i've been this away i'm but again, the new waiver amana says settlement where she lives has also risen from the ashes . for many here, hope the new government will improve their lives. but it's not an all clear whether the new constitution will be approved by the people, people, whatever, that'll go my life, everything i had been in glen, innes knows every one here,

the she's always try to ensure that a degree of order is upheld. so residents chose her to be president of the community. does she make sure that people build in a responsible way so that fire engines can drive through? for example, the authorities have done nothing here so far. the people are just left to their own devices. artist, an activist, thomas evette, volunteers in the new neighbourhood. he helps in us acting both as an advisor and a technical assistant for mass hopes. the new constitution will improve the living conditions. ines remain skeptical, but to law says he will definitely vote in favor of it in a gonzalez' grandma, under the new constitution, we would get access to water, electricity, and garbage collection. you can get, it will be written into the constitution. so the state is forced to pass laws to

make it happen. it is better than battle must do you really think it will work? oh, so sick as i live, if the constitution gets adopted? yes. but even then change won't happen overnight. the about most of the li mortgage all over. i meet another activist, 33 rod. pamela santiesteban bought this plot of land for about 600 euros from the previous squatter. she overseas her small neighbourhood in the settlement. when a yo, i'm pamela, leading representative of the united nations. that's the name of this neighbourhood, nathan. i'm originally from peru, but i've lived in chile for 10 years, and i moved here 10 months ago, and i from around 80 percent of the inhabitants of this land come from haiti and other latin american countries where life for the poor and social mobility is even tougher than in chilling in the past that has led to a huge influx of migrants in the previous government imposed a state of emergency to stop the trend. finding

a humane way to control immigration is yet another challenge facing the new government park residents here get along fine despite the cultural differences. as pamela tells me, he normally shows the name united nations together because the neighbors are from all kinds of different nations. i argentina, venezuela, ecuador, bolivia, peru, and chilly liliana, fatal and nazi lima. here we will build our un headquarters as a social, then jo for our neighborhood, my thought or thought this evening in is foreign to us, is an especially good mood. she has great news for pamela. regret the illegal new dawn settlement is now on track to gain legal recognition. huge news that has to be shared within a few hours in his pointers. this house is full of people. as everyone gathers for

a meeting with a special guest, there's a new air of optimism because for the 1st time, an official from the local authorities has visited the settlement with an offer for help with their collective will now become recognized association they, for you. it's a 1st important step. the official praises the power of community day this we have to stick together. we will have our many conflicts and problems, but what will help is looking for solutions together. i'm not individually but collectively fully feel a
