The approval of the constitutional accusation against the Minister of the Interior in the Chamber of Deputies, and the subsequent resignation of Víctor Pérez from his position were not the only milestones this Tuesday in Congress.
The presentation of a motion of censure to the Chamber table, chaired by Diego Paulsen of Renovación Nacional, also caused controversy, a fact that was condemned by the right and unleashed a wave of recriminations within the opposition.
The motion was presented by the Radical Party chairman, Deputy Alexis Sepúlveda as a result of the controversy generated in the session where the Comprehensive Sexual Education project was voted. On that occasion, the table headed at that time by Evópoli Francisco Undurraga prevented the suffrage of communist deputy Camila Vallejo and RN Cristóbal Urruticoechea under the argument that both marked in person and then connected telematically.
On the right, they described the presentation of the motion as a “shame”, as pointed out by UDI deputy María José Hoffmann, while the head of the RN Sebastián Torrealba bench indicated that there are no arguments for this action given that the table led by Diego Paulsen has given signs of “republicanism.”
But in the opposition they immediately distanced themselves from Sepúlveda’s action, which will be submitted to the Chamber’s vote tomorrow. “I find it tremendously irresponsible, embarrassing. I see no reason to censure the table headed by Mr. Paulsen, you all know me, you know perfectly well that I am the opposite of that table, but that it has behaved with absolute correctness in what concerns its role ” said humanist deputy Pamela Jiles.
In the Broad Front, the opinion was the same. “I say it categorically: absolutely no reference to the issue of censorship. We were surprised,” said Congressman Jorge Brito (RD).
From the DC, Daniel Verdessi maintained that “as head of the bench I have absolute control over the conversations we have had. We have not had any conversation regarding censorship, prior to this constitutional accusation ”.
In addition, the opposition insisted that it is not convenient to associate these two issues, that of the accusation and censorship. “They go by separate strings, in due course we will discuss the issue of censorship,” said DC deputy Gabriel Ascencio, visibly uncomfortable with the issue.
The statements of Verdessi and Ascencio are key because the DC has been precisely the party that has not resigned to the fact of having lost the front of the Lower House due to the division of votes in the sector due to the hives that the candidacy generated to said position of the deputy DC, Gabriel Silber.
