The government spokesperson, Camila Vallejo, expressed her rejection of the idea put forward by the parties of Chile Vamos regarding the Executive creating an “alternative path”, in the event that the proposal for a new Constitution is not approved on the 4th of September.
After knowing the measure, the Secretary of State indicated that “the path that our country has sovereignly traced is a plebiscite that opens a constitutional process and that closes this year with the exit plebiscite, with the option Approve or Reject. That is the path laid out, there are no more paths, there are no more options”.
This is how Vallejo addressed it after the expanded political committee with the official parties in La Moneda, where he stated that “whoever tries to generate greater uncertainty or speculation about other processes that do not exist, is missing the truth and generating greater uncertainty.”
“There is no better and greater certainty than knowing that the process that Chilean society, citizenship, and the people of Chile have opened through this constituent process, culminates on September 4 with Approval or Rejection,” he emphasized.
“We have a path outlined that was approved in a plebiscite and that was for which the people voted and that ends on September 4 with the Approval and Rejection. Therefore, that is what we respect and protect from the constitutional reform that enabled this process,” he stressed.
“It is not good for the citizenry, it is not good for anyone to open spaces of greater uncertainty through speculation about what could eventually happen, because the path has already been mapped out and the rules of the game are clear,” Minister Vallejo concluded.
