Chileans go to the polls this Sunday to elect a constitutional council to write a new Constitution. President Gabriel Boric's government has not played a leading role in this process.

The result is crucial for one of the fundamental objectives of the Chilean left: the consolidation of a social state. The choice of Chile as the host country for World Press Freedom Day in 2024 comes in the context of the 50th anniversary of the 1973 coup d'état. The axis of freedom of the press, the right to information, freedom of expression are within the framework of democratic deepening.
