The Senate Chamber approved yesterday, in general, the reform project that enables a new constituent process. One of the votes against was Senator Karim Bianchi (IND), who on Wednesday deepened his decision. In this regard, he pointed out that the initiative has many limits of origin.
“What has happened here is that the political parties, the oldest political parties, with their old representatives, in complicity with the President of the Republic, have made a political montage to get rid of a piece of it, which is the constituent process,” the senator said in a conversation with El Mostrador in La Clave.

In that line, he said that “they have forced a montage placing a Constitution with so many limits, that it shocks me, it hurts me to see it, because I was one of those who fought for a new Constitution, which was not the one that came out last time, that did not meet the standards, and that had something in common with this, It disunited the country.”
“I don’t know if people today really care about this process. And if you care, I think you have to do it right. I don’t see why you have to do it in a hurry, beyond the predicament that the political class has,” Bianchi continued.
At the same time, he warned that the process “is going to blow up in the face of the Insulzas, the Elizaldes, the Walkers, the Moreiras, the Colomas.”
The Senate will vote on the particular bill on Wednesday, pending full dispatch. Then, it will go to the Chamber of Deputies.
Pardons and pressure from the right for National Prosecutor
President Gabriel Boric pardoned last Friday 13 people – 12 convicted in the context of the social outbreak, and the exfrentista Jorge Mateluna. After that, Chile Vamos reacted: they got off the security table promoted by the government – with the exception of Senator Manuel José Ossandón (RN) – and RN announced a constitutional accusation against the Minister of Justice, Marcela Ríos.
On the pressure from the right, Senator Bianchi said: “I believe that what the right is definitely doing is exerting some pressure, using a situation. Today what they want to force is an issue towards being able to have a National Prosecutor.”
“I think they are doing it to reach consensus on a name,” the parliamentarian emphasized.
“If I do the chronology, the first one (José Morales) liked the right. Later, Mrs. Marta Herrera was closer to the sector on the left. Now what they are looking for is to fix the name of National Prosecutor,” he said.
Recall that President Boric must nominate this Wednesday – for the third time – his candidate for National Prosecutor. This, based on the quina prepared by the Supreme Court.
