President Gabriel Boric referred to the constituent agreement reached between the various political parties and lamented that those of us who “wanted an alternative that would deepen democracy in a much more radical way lost, and we cannot stop considering that.”
In this sense, the President emphasized that “I want to remind people that this is the continuity of the process, and that those of us who wanted an alternative that deepens democracy in a much more radical way lost, and we cannot stop considering that. We lost by 62%.”
Given this, the head of state assumed that “of course I would want a process that had different frameworks and that is how we promoted it, the ruling party promoted it within the negotiation, but at the forefront there was a sector that had other observations and that was necessary to to be able to carry out this project, because any type of modification and moving it forward requires 4/7 that we don’t have”.
Along the same lines, the head of state pointed out that “I prefer, as I said at some point, an imperfect agreement than not having an agreement, because Chile needs a new Constitution and a new social pact. Perhaps it will not have the epic that We would have liked it, but we had that opportunity and we lost that opportunity”.
“Once the agreement is reached, it seems to me that there is no place to try to modify part of its essence. You are not in politics to do only what you like,” the President concluded.
