Chile’s Senate began deliberations on Monday on a bill that would allow for a new constitutional process in the country, a key reform that must be approved by both houses of parliament. Congress. This comes three months after the failed first attempt at a new constitution.
As Constitutional Commission Chairman Matthias Walker, today a member of the “Democratic Party”, told local media, the text is not expected to undergo major changes as long as it is “the result of an agreement (…) and the idea is that if as a result debate, changes occur, if clarifications are needed, they arise by mutual agreement.
For approval in Senate of Chilethe document must have the consent of 4/7 of the Chamber, i.e. 29 votes out of 50 senators.
The political agreement on the continuity of the founding process entered into force as a draft reform on Wednesday, December 21, after more than three months of negotiations between the forces with the parliamentary representation, an agreement that untied complex knots such as the composition of the editorial body, the participation of experts and their minimum requirements.
In turn, it was found that the participants in the development process (50 members of the elected Constitutional Council, 24 experts and 14 lawyers who will be part of the Technical Eligibility Commission, who will act as a kind of arbitrator) receive remuneration.
On the other hand, it was decided that a number of Indigenous seats proportional to the total number of votes received at the national level would be reserved, and that the minimum margin for election would be 1.5% of the vote.
Denials in the plebiscite
On September 4, 62.5% of Chileans rejected a constitutional draft drawn up by a congress with a progressive majority and composed of independent citizens not belonging to political parties.
A few days later, the political forces began negotiations to start a new process, since, despite the refusal in the plebiscite, there is a consensus on the need to replace the current Constitution established during the dictatorship.
President of Chile Gabriel Boricpromised to ensure the continuity of the founding process with Congress and the public forces and work to accelerate it.
“I promise to do my best to work with Congress and civil society to develop a new founding plan,” the president said.
