SENATORS QUESTION “ROOF” OF 15 SEATS OF GOVERNMENT AND OFFICIALISM
The independent senator Pedro Araya He stated that “the problem we have, as everyone knows and we have repeated ad nauseam, is that the number of 15 (seats) does not satisfy what the communities are asking today to feel sufficiently represented.”
“Rightly, the question is to the Government and to the (former) Alliance -Chile Vamos-, are you available to us to advance to more than 15, or is that your ceiling? if that’s your roof, we have a problem and it’s very difficult for us to build an agreement “, he warned.
For its part, UDI Senator Luz Ebensperger stated that “this national indigenous district, so to speak, according to the Census, has 1,568,000 people over 18 years of age,” so “15 reserved seats is absolutely proportional and compliant according to what our system is.”
