In this context, Chahín affirmed that the withdrawal of the impeachment attempt against Pérez they are going to discuss it “also with the rest of the opposition, because that constitutional accusation generated the endorsement, the support, of the other parties and what corresponds is that they talk about it from the evaluation of the events that have occurred today. “
