In what constitutes the first massive taking of positions by the members of a government party regarding the next constitutional plebiscite, 98 leaders of the Social Green Regionalist Federation (FRVS), which make up the National Convention of the conglomerate, asked the party table officially oppose the new Magna Carta project designed by the Constitutional Council.

According to party sources, the board's decision, until before last night, was to wait even before defining a position, but as one of the leaders said: "The leadership rebelled in this instance, so to speak, against “the verification of the campaign that the Republican Party is carrying out.”

In that sense, and after listening to the member of the expert commission, Magaly Fuenzalida (FRVS), the leaders asked their top leaders to call for a “rejection” vote, agreeing on a public declaration that qualifies the new Constitution as “ultracentralist.” ”, and also asserting “that it marks a setback in the regionalization process.”

Likewise, they indicate that the Magna Carta proposal is “cheating with environmental protection standards, weakening the municipalities, by exempting from contributions the richest 20% who pay them.

 

 

Which ignores our reality as indigenous nation peoples, censors and liar, with a biased idea of security.”

Likewise, the vote against the FRVS leaders is based on the fact that “Chile requires a Constitution of comprehensive security, which begins with social, environmental, citizen, water security, equity of services for the regions, respect for families and minorities, fraternal and for equality that leads to true cohesion and social peace.” They conclude by indicating that “the Republicans' proposal not only does not address the changes demanded by the people, but it will deepen inequalities.”

The right aligned

Unlike what happens in the parties that support the government, so far the entire right has aligned itself behind the proposal led by the Republicans. The only doubt that remained in that sector was the position of the mayor (and presidential candidate) Evelyn Matthei, who in September said that she was not willing to give up her political capital for a project that, among other things, puts the law of abortion on three grounds.

However, this week, the former senator ended up giving in to pressure to speak out and announced her vote in favor of the project, which was celebrated not only by the hardest on the right, but also by the most progressive wing. her.
