The head of the committee of senators of the DC, Ximena Rincón, said this Sunday that her party should give freedom of action to its militants so that they can deploy for Approval or Rejection in the face of the exit Plebiscite, emphasizing that it is the most healthy before the division that is being observed in this matter. In an interview with Channel 13, the parliamentarian said that "at this point I think that each one is going to express their option. The JDC (Christian Democratic Youth), a group, because a militant did not make a vote, decided that they approved, a senator says she is going to approve, others say no, that they are inclined towards Rejection".

"The truth is that I believe that, and I told the president of the party, here we should display both positions, which are legitimate as the President of the Republic has said, and each one express why yes, why not, which they are the views regarding what is being offered to the country and give certainty," he said. Asked if there is disorder in the community regarding this issue, she replied that "in some cases, like in this one", along with remembering that "there is a right-wing party in the entry Plebiscite that said that since these are two views we are going to let everyone decide", in reference to what was done by RN. "It's what I think we should do at this point, when there can no longer be a national board in the short term, 30 days are needed to convene it. We are just around the corner from the television slot, we should allow both options are expressed," he stressed. In this context, he indicated that "I do not think it is a problem when you have critical views from both sides and when today the position of approving to reform falls, when you see this titanium lock that the Convention puts on the possible reform of the Constitution (...) In this scenario, the healthiest and most transparent thing is for everyone to say how they think they should vote and not leave that privilege only for a few." Criticism of the Convention Despite the fact that she has not yet taken the Rejection side, the legislator made several criticisms of the work of the body that has drafted the proposal for the new Constitution, starting with her initial decision not to invite the former Presidents of the Republic to the closing ceremony of the constituent process, which was later reversed.

 

 

In this regard, Rincón pointed out that "what has happened shows that there are some who are determined to deconstruct history and tear down everything that exists backwards, without understanding that the peoples have to stand on their history and move forward correcting what is bad."

"This that has been done speaks at the end of the day of what is the spirit of the constituent, which is absolutely refoundational. What has happened is one more evidence of what is behind the majority spirit of the Convention and it does not do good to the country (…) we are seeing a confrontation and that speaks of something that is not right," he stressed. In his opinion, the Convention "failed to be the country's meeting space, it did not become everyone's house", for which he insisted on highlighting his proposal to lower the quorum for amending the current Constitution to 4/7, as an alternative to a Rejection triumph on September 4. According to the senator, this initiative "lives, floats and not only in the right, but in the vast majority, I believe that we are going to approve it in the Senate. We hope to have support, first because the government needs to advance in its government program and cannot wait for the text of the Convention to eventually be approved." "Second, because I believe that all of us who are in politics have to put ourselves in all the scenarios and one possible and legitimate one, according to the President himself, is that the Rejection is imposed. If the Rejection is imposed, what are we going to do? Are we going to remain hand in hand? We have to move forward with the changes," he concluded.
