Last Thursday, August 4, the decision of the Government of the President of the Republic, Gabriel Boric, was announced to put “extreme urgency” on the bill that lowers the quorum for constitutional reforms to 4/7.
This, in order to speed up its legislative process and reach approval before the exit plebiscite on September 4. However, it was reported that the Executive’s final decision was to put “immediate discussion” on it.
Thus, La Moneda seeks to avoid delays and ensure that Congress sees the initiative before the elections, which would be a mechanism to reform the 1980 Constitution in the event that the new Magna Carta is not approved.
With “extreme urgency”, the project must be known and dispatched by the Lower House within 15 days, which is limited to six when speaking of “immediate discussion”.
It should be remembered that the measure is being processed in the Constitution Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, and it is expected that this particular vote will be registered this Tuesday. In addition, for Wednesday, August 10, the discussion of the initiative in the Chamber of the Chamber is set.
