The senator of the Christian Democracy, Francisco Huenchumilla, was incredulous at the position of a part of his party, which together with the right, is promoting a project to lower the quorum that allows modifying the current Constitution.
In that sense, the former mayor of La Araucanía stressed that the proposed Constitution erected from the Constitutional Convention allows taking charge of the current problems that the country is going through with “European-style capitalism.”
Also, in conversation with radio dna He maintained that despite having a good relationship with parliamentarians Javier Macaya (UDI) and Francisco Chahuán (RN), he does not believe that the opposition will promote the necessary changes that they promise.
“It is objective that the right was never available to make substantial changes to the Constitution of 1980. Why today do I have to make an act of faith, a subjective act, without an objective argument,” Huenchumilla said.
From the DC, Ximena Rincón and Matías Walker have been the main promoters of the reform project from 2/3 to 4/7 of the current Fundamental Charter and part of the center-right has supported the initiative.
For Huenchumilla, this is “an argument marketer, tricking public opinion into saying ‘vote calmly Rejection because later we are going to reform’. And I don’t think so.”
“The Rejection means that the right saw the opportunity to recover the veto power and made that design. Some believed it. But I am not here for acts of faith. This is politics and I want concrete things,” he said.
