translated from Spanish: This Tuesday is discussed equal marriage in Senate Commission

Last week, Justice and Human Rights Minister Hernán Larraín announced that he will not support this change that seeks to modify various legal bodies, including the Civil Code, to allow same-sex couples to be married. Let us remember that the project comes from a message from the former President of the Republic, Michelle Bachelet and at the time it was a commitment of The Coin for the Movement of Integration and Homosexual Liberation (Movilh) to withdraw a lawsuit before the Commission Inter-American Human Rights.The senator of the Party for Democracy (PPD) and chairman of that commission, Felipe Harboe, mentioned that they will use their powers as congressmen and discuss the initiative. In addition, Harboe argued that he will not be allowed to be pautic by the philosophical line that the Government of Sebastian has Piñera.La the measure of Senator Harboe was valued by the Movilh, where his spokesman Rolando Jiménez emphasized that the opposition has a majority in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, and that hopes that a serious, rigorous and permanent process for processing will begin. For his part, the deputy of National Renewal, Diego Schalper, mentioned that he will request to go to the Senate Constitution Commission to explain the importance of marriage between a man and a woman. The official MP also emphasized that the representative Piñera, since his campaign, said his opinion in the face of the marital pact between same-sex couples. Former President Bachelet signed the Equal Marriage Bill on September 5, 2017, where she indicated that legal change was looking for a new step towards a more inclusive and more dignified Chile for all.
