translated from Spanish: Convention will not meet on Tuesday morning: table will meet with the government to review conditions

“There will be no session during the morning,” confirmed the vice president of the Constitutional Convention, Jaime Bassa, ruling out the session that had originally been set for this Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. The date and time had been reported after monday’s meeting was suspended due to technical faults and conditions that would lead to compliance with the capacity in the midst of the pandemic. After the controversial episode, the table held a meeting with the General Secretariat of the Republic at the former National Congress. In this regard, President Elisa Loncón said that “we ask for guarantees to start tomorrow, because we cannot commit the same situation that we arrive and that the building is not walking here with everything that is required.” Bassa also added that “in principle, we are going to meet on Wednesday. But with the president we’re going to evaluate it on Tuesday, because we can’t expose the country to an embarrassment like this.” Along these lines, Loncón maintained that the government explained that “tomorrow they would comply with everything. So we need to come and review the situation to realize that’s true.” In conclusion, the government should meet this Tuesday at 15:00 hours with the members of the table to verify compliance with the needs raised and whose absence this day prevented the session.
