| Sumario: | The present article seeks to explain why Chile has been so reticent to the democratic election with levels of autonomy of the intermediate level of government called regional government, today in charge of an intendente delegate of the Central Government although from the 2014 with an elected regional council. Chile is the only case in the great democracies of Latin America, in opossition a traditional democratic power whithin traditional federal countries (Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela), Colombia from 1992 and since 2000 have joined to choose the macro territorial executive Peru, Paraguay , Ecuador and Bolivia. The reason is the naturalization of the "presicratic" model of presidentialism with centralism dating back to 1830. Finally, the paper explains the rise of regionalist protests and the projects emanating from the Presidential Commission for Decentralization that Bachelet created in 2014, generating an incremental dual model that is debated in Congress. Chile lives a tension between the conservative right allied with the centralist left that resist a change of political system against the left center that seeks to deepen democracy allied to Christian Democracy and liberal segments. |
