Constituent Fuad Chahín (DC): “There are times when the Convention takes on a rather polarized tone”

The constituent DC, Fuad Chahin, referred to the individual vote that was made in the plenary of the Convention and where one of the 38 articles proposed by the Special Commission on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was approved.
Given this, the conventional said in conversation with Radio Cooperativa that “many of the norms that are contained there or are already in the draft Constitution, were already approved in the thematic commissions, or norms that had already been definitively rejected.”
Faced with criticism, Chahín said that there are “moments when the Convention takes a rather polarized tone and disqualifies the different extremes,” thus dismissing the accusations of “racism” for the approval of a single article in that commission.
The convention of the Collective for the Approval also said that to implement, eventually, the new Constitution, it is necessary to listen to those who have information and experience, in order to “propose a transition and a soft landing and not an emergency” towards the Magna Carta that is under construction.
It is worth mentioning that, despite criticism from their peers and the call of the president of the Constitutional Convention, María Elisa Quinteros, to fulfill her duty, right-wing conventionals decided not to vote in particular on this report on the rights of indigenous peoples.
The situation was criticized by the constituent Rosa Catrileo (Mapuche seat), who pointed out that this attitude is carried out by “a group of conventionals who always take the speeches to mock indigenous rights, to make fun of plurinationality, who do not even have the dignity to press a button to mark their rejection, demonstrating once again the contempt they have for the indigenous.”
“I want to make it clear, so that the racist actions of these people are also on record of this Constitutional Convention,” he charged.
