translated from Spanish: Evópoli and PRI define support for “Apruebo” in plebiscite for new constitution

As reported by the Middle Emol, during this Saturday the Political Evolution Party (Evópoli) defined in an extraordinary general council, support the option “Apruebo” in the constituent plebiscite that will be held this April 26. They also decided that in the next elections, they will also opt for the modality of the Mixed Convention, which includes 50% of parliamentarians and 50% of citizens specifically elected for this work, Hernán Larraín Matte, president of the party, noted that ” Today Evópoli had a very important day of internal democracy. First, we define as an institutional party to be by the “apruebo” with almost 60% of the general councilors present. In turn, with 81% of the directors we approve of supporting the joint convention in the next plebiscite.” In any case, they pointed out that while the resolution was taken on an institutional basis, the freedom of action within the party will be respected, stating that “We will be very respectful of the different visions that are in relation to the plebiscite, which are all very legitimate democratics,” he said. On the other hand, and in a similar dynamic, the Independent Regionalist Party (PRI) also took an institutional definition aimed at supporting the option of “Apruebo” in the next constitutional plebiscite, but with the difference that in this case the measure was supported by a large majority: no less than 94% of defray-enabled directors. In addition, from the collective, support for the constituent convention modality was defined, which implies that the new Fundamental Charter will be drafted by 100% citizens elected specifically for this work.
