The triumph of the Rejection in the Constitutional Plebiscite this past Sunday continues to leave echoes in both the winning and losing commands. During this day, the members of the center-left for Rejection together with Amarillos por Chile, Una que nos Una, Gente del Sur and Proyecta Chile held a meeting to celebrate yesterday’s results.
The meeting was held at Confitería Torres, a place where the different conglomerates met to analyze the results and analyze a possible new constitutional process for Chile.

One of the faces of the Center-Left for Rejection (today for the Future), Ximena Rincon (DC), spoke about yesterday’s results. “We are convinced that the united work (among the organizations present) responded to the demands of the citizens. This was a bad text and it was resoundingly and clearly rejected yesterday,” he said about yesterday’s results.
“Today we are called by unitary work, a great unity agreement in which our commitment is renewed here, to have a new constitutional process, with a new convention – the characteristics will be part of the same debate – with great sobriety and understanding that there are urgencies in the country that must be addressed in different areas: in pensions, in health, in citizen and economic security,” he added.
Likewise, he indicated that “as a center-left we assume a commitment towards the citizens to work for this new process and for the citizen’s demands.”
Christian Warnken
For his part, the spokesman for Amarillos por Chile, Christian Warnkenwhen addressing the result of the constitutional plebiscite, expressed that “it was not a triumph of a political party, nor of a sector, it is the voice of a deep Chile, of ordinary people who with political wisdom have once again sent a very clear message: we want a new and good Constitution, but based on dialogue, not on intolerance; on agreement, not on maximalism and with a re-foundational spirit”.
Along these lines, he specified that the center-left yearns for a great agreement of national unity, clarifying that a new constitutional process cannot be carried out without laying the foundations of the Government, Congress, political parties and citizen processes to achieve that great national agreement, “today’s urgency is to unite and achieve peace,” he concluded.
“We are available to achieve a great national agreement”
Finally, after finishing the meeting, the president of the Senate Constitution Commission and face of the center-left for Rejection, Matthias Walker (DC), addressed the constitutional future that holds for Chile.
“We have spoken with the President of the Republic and with the President of the Senate, and we are fully available to reach a great national agreement to give citizens certainty that we will have a new convention chosen by them, equal between men and women, but also learning from the mistakes of this process”.
