The Chilean government has submitted a bill to delay the implementation of Law No. 21,719, concerning personal data protection. Simultaneously, it seeks to expand the Data Protection Agency’s council from three to five members. The appointment of council members has been fraught with obstacles, including the withdrawal of an initial list due to conflicts of interest and the Senate’s rejection of a second set of nominees. Potential candidates for future consideration include former Deputy Leonardo Soto and ex-Undersecretary Juan Francisco Galli. These developments signal ongoing challenges in establishing the agency and ensuring effective data protection oversight. The government’s actions suggest a desire for a more robust and politically acceptable composition of the agency's leadership. Establishing the agency is crucial for Chile to fully implement its data protection laws.
