TL;DR: Chile is currently running a convent for a new constitution and there is a proposal to adopt the free software values and privacy into their constitution. It will be proposed to the convent if 15,000 Chilean signatures can be collected.

…but at least compared to Europe even more privatized…

Chile underwent a neoliberal transition that wrecked the economy for a while. There is a really good documentary on the whole thing called the Chicago Boys (didn’t mean to bury the lead lol, chicago boys references the economists from the University of Chicago that basically showed Chile the neoliberal way).
