“A decision has been made unilaterally, for you president, to limit our constitutional right to exercise the vote without making express reference to a regulatory norm, and when reference is made to a regulatory norm, the Senate regulations are cited, which I find scandalous, ”said the communist deputy.
For his part, the independent deputy, René SaffirioHe argued that what Undurraga did was “arbitrarily curtail the right of two deputies to exercise one of their essential powers.”
For the same reason, Saffirio slipped that this should be sanctioned with a censure to the Table.
“You are putting yourself, president, outside the Constitution and the Constitutional Organic Law of the National Congress, I ask you to immediately rectify that decision, because the opposite cannot – but – mean a censure to the Table, because the Constitution cannot be flagrantly violated, limiting the rights of deputies without consequence ”, he asserted.
In this context, the deputy of Commons, Claudia Mix, requested an extraordinary meeting of the Parliamentary Committees, which could be held just before the vote on the Comprehensive Sexual Education project that is debated in the Chamber.
