translated from Spanish: Unite Movement boosts unique opposition list in constituent choice ensuring 70% quotas for independents

During this day, the Unir Movement promoted the construction of a unique list of opposition for the Constitutional Convention in order to “ensure the two-thirds that allow us to achieve the structural changes demanded by citizens and to prevent the country’s conservative sectors from vetoing the transformations that point towards building a fairer society , less unequal and unequal.”
“As a Unite Movement we value and celebrate the broad citizen participation that allowed this Sunday to initiate an unpublished constituent process for our country and the world. The latter, considering that such a process has never been carried out before through a totally parity space,” they point out by means of a public statement.
In The United Movement’s view, “there are still outstanding issues such as the establishment of seats reserved for the constituent body, a legislative definition that, in our view, must be a priority for Congress”, so they claim that this process “is an opportunity to begin to repay Chile’s historical debt to its original peoples”.
They also express their “absolute conviction” to give independent spaces a leading role in the future Constitutional Convention.
“This is why we will encourage the construction of the payroll of opposition applications to be established as a general rule that at least 70% of quotas be reserved for independent applications,
citizens and social organizations,” they argue.
At an appointment on Monday, the Unite Political Council defined convening a National Assembly by November 7, proclaiming its municipal candidacies, regional governorates and the constitutional convention.
