The undersecretary of the General Secretariat of the Presidency (Segpres), Máximo Pavez, recognized that there are no mechanisms within the Constitutional Convention that allow the sanctions imposed to be carried out. This, as a result of the sanction against Rojas Vade, where a resolution indicated that he will have to return to the State “the income obtained for 10 days of the month of September, as well as for the months of October, November and December 2021. In addition to January and February of this year.
in conversation with CNNChilePavez pointed out that when a sanction is imposed, there must be mechanisms that support the decision.
“When there is a financial penalty, there must be a mechanism to make it effective, either because someone from the CC demands a payment, or because they ask us to deposit fewer resources,” he said.
Along the same lines, Pavez assured that none of these alternatives “have been carried out” by the institutions within the drafting body, which, in his opinion, is related to “a legal vacuum that the Convention has to resolve in one way or another. “.
“Until now we have seen that the Ethics Committee sanctions but those sanctions have not been carried out and of course it is not the responsibility of the Government,” he snapped. “It is a situation that the Constitutional Convention has to resolve and today the Ethics Committee is not effective,” he concluded.
