A controversial Proposal for constitutional reform presented on Monday by the communist deputy, Camila Vallejo. The project of the parliamentarian intends to promote a change to the agreement of November 15, leaving to the discretion of the future members of the constitutional convention the definition of the quorum with which the matters reviewed by the body will be approved, Unlike the 2/3 rule that was established in the pact for a new Constitution and in the reform approved by Congress to enable the plebiscite.
“It is a constitutional reform that seeks to deepen the participation and sovereign exercise of our people in the process of changing the Constitution, not only giving the power to the constitutional convention and its members to set their own operating quorums, but to oblige them to have participation at the territorial level “Vallejo said 24 hours a day.
The deputy added that The idea of his proposal is that the members of the convention define – with a simple majority – if they want to maintain the 2/3 or, instead, promote different mechanisms according to the subject matter to be discussed.
But nevertheless, the reform of the CP – a community that did not sign the agreement for a new Constitution – received a slam from some sectors of the opposition, such as the DC from where they questioned the fact that they tried to “change the rules” after the vote in the plebiscite.

“The rules of the game are never changed in the middle of the game. A quorum of 2/3 in the convention is what was voted in the Approval for the Constitution to represent us all. Unacceptable project of Camila Vallejo, who with a Chavista logic intends to change this rule, “he said. the president of the DC, Fuad Chahin. While the deputy of that community and president of the Constitution Commission, Matías Walker, stated that “On October 25, citizens said I approve on the basis of two essential principles: the blank page and the approval of 2/3 of each of its norms.”
From the rest of the center-left, meanwhile, they assured on Monday that they had not yet reviewed the matter, although they questioned whether a proposal of that nature was raised and they recognized that it would be “difficult” to back it up. Despite this, the initiative did add support in some communities of the Broad Front that signed the pact in 2019.
“The agreement of November 15 was useful to institutionalize the constitutional change, but from the beginning we have been determined to improve it. So we support the presentation of this project ”, affirmed the Commons deputy, Camila Rojas.
