Constitutional Convention: plenary generally approved replacement report of the Committee on the Environment

With 114 votes in favor, 34 against, and 3 abstentions, so it became part of the final draft of the Magna Carta, after two failed attempts, the Plenary of the Constitutional Convention approved in general the replacement report issued by the Committee on the Environment.
Previously the text obtained 98 votes in favor, 46 against and 8 abstentions, highlighting that part of the rejection of the report came from conventional Socialist Collectives. This generated the discomfort of the constituents of the Plurinational Coordinator, who at the end of the Plenary rebuked their peers calling them “traitors”.

Although the vote in particular is still in progress, some articles have already passed to the constitutional draft that will be submitted to the exit plebiscite on September 4, such as the one that establishes that “the State must protect the waters” and that “the exercise of the human right to water, sanitation and the balance of ecosystems will always prevail.”
The norm was also endorsed, which in its articles states: “the State shall ensure a reasonable use of water”, and “authorizations for the use of water shall be granted by the National Water Agency, and shall be of an inedible nature and granted based on the effective availability of water”.
Another of the sections approved indicates that “the Constitution recognizes indigenous peoples and nations the traditional use of the waters mentioned in Indigenous Territorial Autonomies or indigenous territories”
The revision of other articles that were not modified in the proposal, such as those related to the exploitation of copper, is still pending.
The conventional Claudio Gómez (PS) explained, according to Radio Cooperativa, that “some norms are going to be approved, such as the mother norm that establishes that the State has the absolute, exclusive, inalienable and imprescriptible domain of all substances and minerals that it agrees on.”
But, “we could not reach agreement on some rules that are substantial for the purposes of exploration and mining in Chile, which will return to the commission once again, so that we can concentrate on that mining matter and, in a second round of this report, can be deliberated and voted,” added the conventional Gómez.
“At the core this report is entirely of dreamers, it is a report in which the commission never had technical, numerical background, analysis of what impact the measures it was discussing could have on economic reality … In that sense, it is worrying,” lamented, for his part, the conventional of Vamos Por Chile Bernardo Fontaine, regarding the rule that indicates that the State “will ensure a reasonable use of water.”
Now, the plenary of the Convention has begun a recess and the individual vote on the Replacement Report of the Second Report of the Committee on the Environment will resume during this day.
