congressman Preliminary country Diego Bazan mentioned the possibility of returning to the issue of early elections and indicated that this could be seen at the next legislative assembly, which will begin on 15 February. Similarly, he believed that the Left Bloc did not want to concede, making the referendum a condition for declaring constituent Assembly.

“I think the healthiest thing and what will lead to the greatest consensus is that it is not a matter of groping, because we have touched the Rules of Congress again and again (…). However, I think the issue may be raised again in the next legislature. The Regulations state that half plus one vote of the Constitutional Commission will allow the issue to be brought up for discussion again. Given that the parliament will reopen on February 15, this issue could be raised on the 20th or 19th,” he said on Wednesday. News extension.

“In particular, I am convinced (and I think my bench is in the same spirit) to insist that April and July 2024 are the most crucial dates. 87 votes because the left bloc doesn’t want to concede. Constituent Assembly. So we didn’t get 87, but we could get more than 65 votes, which would allow us to give this issue even more legitimacy by going to a referendum,” he added.

On the other hand, he considered the possibility that if he received at least 66 votes, the election would be approved in a referendum. “Nevertheless, with a referendum that could take another three months, we would have achieved that the elections were yes or yes in April 2024 and with respect for election calendars and internal democracy within political parties,” he specified.

“The healthiest thing is for the second vice president to be elected as soon as possible”

Regarding the election of the parliamentarian who will replace Dign Kalle as second vice president, Bazan mentioned that this is an urgent issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

“It is best that the election of the second vice president be called as soon as possible., what is missing. The vice president will have no reason to change the board of directors. We already had this legislative year with the departure of Congressman Elera, and this vice presidency was immediately occupied by the vote of the Congress of the Republic, and Congressman Mugnante left. Nothing will change this time. Congresswoman Kalle has decided to resign, her decision is respected, and a replacement must be found. I think that it is most correct that it be from the center or even from the more responsible left, ”he concluded.
