Chilean politics operates within a democratic framework, characterized by a multi-party system. The government is divided into three branches: the executive, led by the President, the legislative, consisting of the National Congress, and the judiciary. Elections are held regularly, allowing citizens to vote for their representatives at various levels. In recent years, Chile has faced significant social movements, particularly regarding issues like inequality and education. The 2019 protests led to a national dialogue about constitutional reform, resulting in a process to draft a new constitution, reflecting the people's demands for greater social justice and equity in governance.
