Making a call to respect the mandate of the result in the entry plebiscite, the ruling party squared with the decision of President Gabriel Boric, after the eventual result of the exit plebiscite.
“If the Rejection alternative wins, what will happen is that we will have to prolong this process for another year and a half, where everything will have to be discussed again from scratch”, with these words, the president of the Republic, Gabriel Boric, confirmed that if the Rejection option prevails in the exit plebiscite, he will seek, through Congress, to convene a new Constituent Process.
In the Broad Front, the deputy for Social Convergence, Diego Ibáñez, maintained that the will of the people must be respected manifested in the entry plebiscite, which is to elaborate a new Constitution for Chile.
Meanwhile, the mayor of Recoleta, Daniel Jadue (PC), also squared with the president, assuring that he must put in all the scenarios.
Regarding what this decision can generate in the Approval campaign, the former PC conventionalist, Carolina Videla, does not believe that it has much significance, but she stressed that it is important to know that any new process needs a constitutional reform to the current fundamental charter.
For the UDI deputy, Cristian Moreira, the initiative shows that the proposed text is bad for the country’s democracy.
The plan of La Moneda is parallel to the project that remains in the Senate, which also stems from an eventual triumph of the rejection, seeking to lower the quorums of the current Magna Carta to 4 / 7 to generate constitutional reforms.
“Plan B” rocked the national political board
The Republican Party, who despite being staunch detractors of the proposed New Constitution, had not spoken out.
For the parliamentarian of the shop, Gonzalo of the Racein a possible new constitutional process, the leadership should be in charge of the National Congress.
Meanwhile, his community peer, deputy Andrés Schubert, was open to starting a new constitutional discussion, but stressed that this decision should be made democratically.
The Republican Party will have its General Councilnext Saturday, where, possibly, they will take a position regarding the different scenarios that the day after the exit plebiscite could bring.
