Hoffmann, for his part, said that the bill “is as ridiculous as us or the government itself presenting a bill to dilute Congress” and argued that “what citizens are waiting for is that this Congress is up to what the country needs, but all they do is reduce trust, continue damaging democracy”.
This day, the bench of the Christian Democracy (DC) announced that it will not support the project. In the Communist Party (PC), the mayor of Recoleta, Daniel Jadue, also distanced himself from the initiative, stating that it is “In favor of complying with processes and meeting schedules”.
Along these lines, Congressman Cruz-Coke called on “the democratic forces to reject these attempts by those who do not believe in democracy“.
The project is promoted by Rodrigo González (PPD) and Jaime Mulet (FRVS) under the argument of “relegitimizing” the Executive and Parliament after the social outbreak and the plebiscite.
