The head of Segpres celebrated the decision of the Chamber by endorsing the text that begins a new constitutional itinerary and assured that minorities "must be respected, but they are that, a minority."

The Minister Secretary General of the Presidency, Ana Lya Uriarte, celebrated this afternoon the approval of the constitutional reform that enables a new constituent process, after a broad vote that exceeded the 4/7 required to advance. In this sense, Uriarte stressed that an initiative was approved that will bring "certainty of how we are going to talk, how we are going to see ourselves as a country in an agreement that really includes all of us, and on the other hand, tranquility, in the sense of that when there are majority political agreements transversally speaking, we can have solid political agreements that are manifested in what we have seen today in the Chamber of Deputies".

Thus, the minister highlighted that both in the Chamber and in the Senate there were "massive, forceful votes, which show that politics has institutional channels that it is possible to really have on the table and as a meeting instrument for all Chileans and chilean". In this context, she thanked the Parliament because "it has honored the agreement reached by the majority political forces and pointed out that we are on the right path to enable that constituent process that will lead us to have a new Constitution for Chile."

 

 

As for the criticism from sectors that have accused a kitchen, such as the Republicans, Uriarte assured that the majorities prevailed and that "there is a minority that must be respected, but that it is that, a minority and the vote that has just taken place shows it produce in the Chamber and that before it was also produced in the Senate of the Republic. It is not necessary to be surprised or dramatize the fact that there is a group of parliamentarians who do not agree with the project". Likewise, he addressed the situation of the independent pro-government parliamentarians who on this occasion rejected, like some of the PPD committee or other independent pro-Approve Dignity, and stressed that despite this "for the Government this is considered a triumph of democracy, of agreement, of the political conversation, and that it has been honored with the favorable vote of all those who were for enabling a process to have a new Constitution".
