Frente Amplio reacted to the statements issued this Monday by the government spokesman, Jaime Bellolio, who affirmed that before the eventual election of a convention in charge of drafting a new Constitution, it should have a quorum of 2/3 to approve the regulations. that will be in a hypothetical new Constitution.
“Faced with these statements, we want to emphasize to public opinion that it seems to us a serious interference with the constitutional autonomy that an eventual convention elected by the citizens, be it mixed or constitutional, must have,” they said in a statement.
“According to article 133 of the Constitution, product of the constitutional reform that gave rise to the current constituent process, it is the task of the elected convention to draft its own regulations, in which it must define its way of deliberating and voting on the norms”, they added.
“Along with this provision, the reform itself clearly states that the final vote on the text corresponds exclusively and sovereignly to the people of Chile, through the exit plebiscite, where it must be approved with a simple majority,” they added.
Along these lines, the party calls “on the President of the Republic and his ministers not to interfere in the constitutional process beyond their powers, leaving the institutions to function according to the limits that the law provides.”
“It is everyone’s duty to guarantee respect for this democratic process, for this we must abandon the logic of fear of reciprocal vetoes and trust in the deliberative capacity of the Chilean people, deepening the mechanisms of citizen participation instead of crafty interpretations that try to block their legitimate wishes ”, they warn.
In the agreement signed on November 15, it was established that the norms must be voted with a 2/3 quorum, which was ratified in the constitutional reform that enabled the plebiscite.
