By three votes to two, It was rejected in the Senate Constitution Commission President Sebastián Piñera’s proposal for appoint in the Council for Transparency (CPLT) to the legal director of Libertad y Desarrollo, Natalia González, and the academic of the Usach Bernardo Navarrete.
Although only the lawyer was questioned by the opposition, what was raised should have been voted on together.
During this Monday’s session, the senator member Francisco Huenchumilla (DC) took the opportunity to clarify with the applicant the nature of the think tank that integrates: “Libertad y Desarrollo I understand that it is a body that belongs to the Independent Democratic Union party.And deep down, he is a lobbyist for large projects that interest the country’s important economic sectors. “
⏰ Last Minute: By 3 votes to 2, the Constitution Commission rejects the proposal of the President of the Republic to appoint Natalia González Bañados and Bernardo Navarrete Yáñez as members of the Council for Transparency.
The Chamber must rule promptly.

“I would like to know how Libertad y Desarrollo is financed, because the interventions in which I have seen (González) in Channel 13 and on the radio they show a certain fanaticism, I tell you frankly and with all due respect, “said the parliamentarian.
The one nominated by the Government specified that “Libertad y Desarrollo is a study center: it is independent, it is nonpartisan. I am not a member of any political party, and our financing mechanism consists of the following: (the institute) generates a series of products, and obviously there are subscribers to those products who pay for them. “
The arrival of González and Navarrete to the CPLT remains to be seen in the Senate Chamber, where it will require two-thirds of the votes to be approved. Otherwise, the President will have to present two other names to integrate the regulatory body.
The CPLT Board of Directors, headed by the former president of Chile21 Glory of the Fountain, nowadays does not have a quorum to meet, as it maintains only two of the four directors that comprise it in office.
The Senate room still has to pronounce, with 2 thirds of the votes.
The problem is that the Board of Directors of the Council for Transparency today does not have a quorum to meet.
