The agreement signed in the early hours of Friday by officials and opposition parties did not leave some sectors within the Broad Front satisfied, particularly in Social Convergence, a collective in which a massive resignation of 73 militants, including Valparaiso Mayor Jorge Sharp.
“In the face of this, the Agreement for Social Peace and the New Constitution, signed by different national political parties, is essentially contrary to the demands that different and different demonstrations have set out on the streets. Its construction was carried out by a set of party and parliamentary directives that do not represent the majority will of the mobilization, excluding, in short, that Chile that awoke”, argues a statement.
The statement notes that decisions taken by “higher instances” of the party indicate that the party “does not constitute the space for adequately pushing the policy of democratic transformations required by the present moment. That is why through this letter we communicate our renunciation to the Social Convergence, with the aim of contributing independently and autonomously to the construction of a left-wing project of the 21st century from the different places that we have to act. Above all, we are helped today by the will to contribute to the strengthening of a true Constituent Assembly.”
“We will continue in the fight for a truly just society, in a dignified and democratic country. On this path, we know that we will continue to meet many colleagues and colleagues of Social Convergence, whose efforts we sincerely value,” the statement concludes.
