The Minister Secretary General of the Presidency (Segpres), Giorgio Jackson, referred to the plebiscite to exit the new constitution on September 4, after the end of the constitutional debate.
“I think that as long as the last vote is not counted, trying to guess what the result is going to be is to play it very quickly for a projection. I believe that the scenario is open, but hopefully it will be decided from information and not from disinformation, and that is our task as a government,” he said in an interview with El Mercurio de Valparaíso.
The head of the Segpres added that “people will have to choose between approving the new text, with the good things that seem to them and those that they may not like so much, and therefore they will have to make an analysis between the good and the bad and make the weighting within their preference, and how it is possible or not to change those things that he does not like about this new Constitution and its feasibility; or reject, with the good or bad things that people consider the one that was started in the 80s with the dictatorship, and analyze how feasible it is to change those things under the rules of themselves, which are much stricter.”
In that sense, Giorgio Jackson said that “the scenario is going to be between these two paths, both legitimate.”
It is worth mentioning that the last Plenary Session of the Constitutional Convention has already been held and the draft of the New Constitution has been approved. There are 499 articles that must now move to a process of refinement and harmonization.
