On 7 December 2011, Vallejo was defeated in her bid for re-election by Gabriel Boric, a Law School graduate. In October 2011 she was elected to the Central Committee of the Communist Youth of Chile at its XIII National Congress.
Vallejo has acquired public attention as a leading spokesperson and leader of the 2011 student protests in Chile, alongside other student leaders: Giorgio Jackson from the Catholic University of Chile Student Federation and Camilo Ballesteros from the University of Santiago, Chile Student Federation.
In August 2011, the Supreme Court of Chile ordered police protection for Vallejo after she received death threats.
