The deputies Iván Flores (DC) and Jorge Brito (RD) presented a project to prevent current authorities and parliamentarians from running for membership in the Constitutional Convention that must write the new Fundamental Charter.
The initiative aims to ministers, mayors, undersecretaries, senators and deputies who are in office between last October 25, the day of the plebiscite, and the date of the election of the conventional ones, next April 12.
“The citizens do not want ministers, mayors, senators or deputies writing this Fundamental Charter,” said Flores, former president of the Lower House.
We enter reform so that the citizen’s decision is respected and parliamentarians cannot apply for #ConventionConstitutional

Brito affirmed that the text also proposes that said authorities cannot be candidates “even if they resign from their positions.”
“If it is not the ethical impediments that make these people not resign their positions to run, then the impediment is legal, because the country already said, (Mixed Convention), no “he added.
This project contemplates that Ministers, Parliamentarians, Undersecretaries and Mayors cannot leave their positions to want to be part of the Constitutional Convention. Sounds logical, right?

In the plebiscite, 5,886,421 Chileans (78.27 percent of the votes) approved the drafting of a new Constitution, and 5,646,427 people (78.99 percent) chose to have it drawn up by a Constitutional Convention, 100 percent elected body.
