The 155 members of the elected assembly have approved their regulations, procedures, and decision-making processes and have started writing the actual Constitution. Renowned political scientist Claudio Fuentes shares with Chile Today another manual, titled “Installation: The first stage of the Chilean Constitutional Convention”, about the first months of the historic process.
