The Constitutional Council, which drafted a new Magna Carta proposal, delivered this Tuesday - with the help of its president, the Republican Party member Beatriz Hevia - its final text to President Gabriel Boric, in a protocol act that culminates the second constituent process of the country, facing the plebiscite with mandatory voting on December 17.

Annoyance in Chile Let's go and in the ruling party
The words of the president of the Constitutional Council, however, generated indignation in part of Chile Vamos, from where they have aligned themselves with the Republican Party to vote in favor of the proposed new Constitution.

The indignation of Chile Vamos arises from the constant calls of the Republican Party member to President Gabriel Boric precisely in a “republican act.” Furthermore, considering that the proposal had the entire ruling bloc in the Constitutional Council voting against it, Hevia declared that "we have reached agreements that also reflect the diversity of voices and perspectives that make up our beloved country."

Furthermore, his speech was much longer than that of the President and before greeting the authorities, he began a minute of silence for the fire that occurred on the night of November 6 in Coronel, where 14 people of Venezuelan nationality died, including minors. age. Added to this is that Hevia did not thank her now former colleague, the vice president of the Constitutional Council, Aldo Valle (PPD), until the end of the ceremony.

 

 

Although he thanked all councilors in general, in his speech, he highlighted "their tireless work", although he regretted that "the many points of agreement that existed, at all stages, were not later reflected in the votes or in the opinions of “face to the citizens.” Even so, Beatriz Hevia believes that the text constitutes “an example of what can be achieved when fighting for the common good.”

After the closing ceremony of the Constitutional Council, the now former councilor of Social Convergence (CS), Yerko Ljubetic, criticized the speech given by the president of the body, Beatriz Hevia. In her opinion, the Republican “took the stand with a position, something that breaks tradition with presidents, and she told us about a proposal that is not the one we know, she talks to us about a proposal that tells us about diversity, plurality, and this "It is a proposal that does not unite, that does not take care of citizens' demands." In that sense, Ljubetic declared that he was “very confident” that citizens will overwhelmingly vote for the “Against” option in the exit plebiscite.

Who also criticized Counselor Hevia's speech was the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Ricardo Cifuentes (DC), who found the speech of the president of the Constitutional Council "curious", "especially with a slightly more political intention." "I believe that this was not the time to generate political criticism, also veiled to the President."
