translated from Spanish: Convention Rules Committee will meet at the University of Chile from next week

During an extraordinary session held this Saturday via telematics, it was reported that the Commission of Rules of procedure of the Constitutional Convention will begin to operate from next week in the central house of the University of Chile.It was the secretary of the Commission, Julián Saona, who detailed the change of dependencies, assuring that “from the physical point of view in the building of the Chamber of Deputies, where they have been working during the last month, it is not possible to accommodate all the committees and subcommittees that have been built in recent weeks. That is why the Regulation Commission turned to the University of Chile.” He also said that in a “very enthusiastic, generous and efficient way,” the university’s rector, Ennio Vivaldi, made three rooms available to the three subcommittees. “They are spacious, illuminated rooms, with audio system, with projection, in short, we have to solve if the transmission aspect” added Saona, specifying that the delivery of the dependencies will be at 15:00 hours. DIVERGENCES However, the announcement was not without questioning, starting with the objections of chile’s former education minister, Marcela Cubillos. “Even this should have been discussed in the Commission because, from the outset, I have doubts as to why it was not necessary to use the offices of the Pereira Palace (…) I would like it to be proven that the Pereira Palace does not have facilities to be able to operate in those 3 commissions, “he said. The same line was followed by Constanza Hube, who called the decision an “imposition.” “The Pereira Palace is true that it does not have the best facilities, but we are not so many in the commissions (…) this is not a proposal is an imposition, because if it had been a proposal I could have commented on it all last week, we never commented on it.” After the reactions, Saona intervened, replying that “I speak as a minister of faith of this commission and I know that the conditions of physical space, professional support, technological and other types have not been adequate for the functioning of the convention during the last month,” he said.
