The Senate Chamber approved this Wednesday afternoon the constitutional reform project that regulates the vacancy of conventional. This, to legalize the resignation of Rodrigo Rojas Vade in the Convention.
The conventional stopped attending the organ in September of last year, after acknowledging that he did not suffer from cancer. That is, he resigned “de facto”.
The project specifies that the conventional ones may resign from their positions when serious events severely affect their performance or put the operation of the Constitutional Convention at risk, and the Electoral Qualifying Court so qualifies it.
However, the second part of the initiative was rejected. This sought to establish a replacement mechanism for the conventional ones, so that, in the event that the initiative prospers as it is in its processing stages, the Constitutional Convention would be left with 154 conventional ones.
The initiative was dispatched to the Chamber of Deputies, in the second constitutional procedure.
Let us remember that the Government, Decentralization and Regionalization Commission issued the report of the parliamentary body on October 26, 2021. By agreement of the committees, dated January 4, 2022, the project was sent to the Commission for a new first report, which became effective on January 12, 2022.
