Abstract

This interview with the Chilean Doctor and master"™s in law and Social Policies, Javier Couso Salas, in May 2020. Since October 2019, tens of thousands of Chilean citizens have organized multiple protests professing their disagreement with the social inequality to which they claim to be subject. In this dialogue, Javier Couso explains the main social, legal and political reasons that caused various disagreements by various sectors of the population, ultimately causing a social outbreak. The expert details the idea of a constitutional referendum, as a possible structural solution to this problem, as well as the legal and democratic procedure that the Chilean people would have to submit to in order for this to happen.
