The Minister of the Interior, Carolina Tohá, regretted the criticism that has arisen in the ruling party towards the agreement that will allow the opening of a new constituent process, warning that thanks to this agreement, the failure that the political sector experienced in the Plebiscite was somehow reversed. output of the first constituent process. After learning of the reproaches made by the president of the FRVS, Flavia Torrealba, the former PC conventional, Marcos Barraza, and the deputy of that party, Karol Cariola, who maintained that the text agreed between different forces was not enough to celebrate, the head of The cabinet defended it and assured that it will be respected in Congress.

Along these lines, Tohá warned that "neither Marcos Barraza nor Flavia Torrealba are parliamentarians and Karol's thing, which he does not give him to celebrate, seems totally legitimate to me, he is not saying that he is going to oppose or that he is going to put obstacles to the agreement. He considers It's not for a party, but it's a way". "I believe that the agreement is going to be saved in Congress, that is going to be imposed, because the same spirit that was achieved with tugging in the political agreement that gave rise to this agreement is what is going to predominate in Congress. Now , there will be people who come out from the side and present indications, probably," he told Radio Universo.

 

 

"For those who do not feel 100% satisfied, let's put on the other side the achievement that this means, the risk that we had of not having any constitutional process. The cost that we paid for tastes that were given by different sectors in the constituent process and that treated to take things to extremes and that resulted in citizen rejection," he added. In this context, he warned that "despite this very adverse result in September, this situation has been overcome, a path has been established and the possibility of a new Constitution has been put back on the horizon. I believe that this is enough to celebrate, because the possibility of this ending in nothing was enormous".

"This is a jewelery job, wills, trusts were built, they did not give up when this was falling. So, perhaps we should not have a party in the street, but in our conscience, in our hearts, we must have great satisfaction that we recovered from that moment when it seemed that this was going to hell," he said. Regarding the possibility that the agreement is not fulfilled in Parliament, the minister maintained that "here is the responsibility of all parties so that it does not fall, you have to have that discipline. When an agreement is reached, things are achieved and things are granted and I think that here all sectors had to make concessions". "Nobody feels that the agreement is 100% what they wanted. Especially, I think that not only the people they mention, like Flavia Torrealba or the former conventional Barraza, but also many right-wing people came out to say that this agreement does not satisfy them." remarked the Secretary of State. In this sense, he commented that "the other possibility is that we do not have a participatory process and this is discussed simply through reforms in Congress. So, the people who have always been in favor of a new Constitution and who today do not like the okay, I ask them what they propose".
