translated from Spanish: Mario Desbordes: “With the votes that RN will bring, gender parity should be approved”

The president of National Renewal, Mario Desbordes, had a conversation with Radio Cooperativa where he stated that party parliamentarians will be able to vote freeofly on gender parity in the Constituent Convention.Desbo he stated that “with the votes that Renewal is contributing it will be approved, that is enough. I hope that Evópoli will also join and I hope that we will have plenty of votes.” In addition, the RN leader pointed out that this Thursday “we are going to vote different probably, there is freedom of action. The project to be voted on gender equity is ours, Renewal, agreed with much of the opposition and some Parliamentarians from Chile Vamos.” There is no 100 percent agreement, even on the RN bench and it’s legitimate, because they’re positions and visions that are perfectly democratic,” he added in the interview with Cooperativa.Finally, he concluded that “a correction has to be made after the vote, but I I think it would be a failure for democracy, inexplicable in 30 more years, when this Constitution is seen by our grandchildren, that there is a constituent with 75 percent of men and 25 percent women.”
