Various reactions were caused by the project announced by Deputy Camilia Vallejo (PC), which aims to establish a reform that allows reducing or modifying the quorum of 2/3 to approve or reject the norms that would be present in the new Constitution.
The initiative led by opposition parliamentarians determines that it would be the Constitutional Convention who considers if said quorum would be used to decide the articles that will make up the Magna Carta, or if this would be done with 3/5 or with a simple majority of 50 + 1.
In this regard, opposition deputies such as Fuad Chahín (DC) and Matías Walker (DC), expressed their rejection of this project. As argued by the president of the Christian Democracy, it is an “unacceptable” initiative that would establish a “Chavista logic that intends to change this basic rule”.
The rules of the game are never changed in the middle of the game. A quorum of 2/3 in the CC is what was voted in the Approval for the Constitution to represent us all. Unacceptable project @camila_vallejo that with a logic Chavista intends to change this basic rule.

For his part, Walker indicated that the “approval of regulations by 2/3 of the Convention and the blank page are the essence of the process of drafting the new Constitution ratified by 78% of the citizens” in the past plebiscite October 25.

Dear @PamJiles: They cannot be recast because they are projects with different parent ideas. Approval of standards by 2/3 of the Convention and the blank sheet are the essence of the process of elaboration of the #NewConstitution ratified by 78% of citizens on 10/25 https://t.co/rzqCsvfJuZ

On the contrary, Parliamentarian Pamela Jiles (PH) showed her “total support for the project” of which she is co-author along with Vallejo, Camila Rojas and Alejandra Sepúlveda.
And along with this, “I will also ask that you recast with the project by vote of Chileans abroad that is already in process in the Constitutional Commission”, because the initiative also states that compatriots in other countries they can apply and be part of the constituent body.

The proposal of Deputy Camila Vallejo regarding modifying the Quorum of 2/3, to a simple majority and a regulation is of all logic. The angry ones? precisely those who signed the “Peace” Agreement, which they signed minutes after the Carabineros assassinated Abel Acuña.

Finally, the deputy Tomás Hirsch (PH), who is also a co-author of this project, argued that “In a democracy things are decided by a majority, not by 2/3, and that is what the citizenship demands”.
“Enough of the obstacles imposed by the right to block the changes”, he sentenced.
Together with Camila Vallejo we presented a project to eliminate a 2/3 quorum from the Constitutional Convention.
In a democracy, things are decided by a majority, not x 2/3, and that is what citizens demand. Enough of the obstacles imposed by the right to block the changes.
