In a public statement, Maria Luisa Brahm called on the powers of the state and the inhabitants of the country to respect Magna Carta, after disputes between the political sectors over the projects presented in Congress, and after the announcement of the President of a commission to evaluate the eligibility criteria of law initiatives.
Through a public statement, the president of the Constitutional Court, Maria Luisa Brahm, said that “this is the moment when the constitutional order we have given ourselves must be more than ever.” The sayings of the president of the body, occur after the dispute between officialism and the opposition, over the constitutionality of the projects presented in Congress, including that of the suspension of payments of the CAE or basic services; and after President Sebastián Piñera, he stoked the discussion, announcing a commission that will evaluate the criteria by which the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate declare the initiatives admissible. Brahm said that “Constitutions must be stronger when they are needed most” he added that “at the crossroads, the fundamental texts serve to guide and prevent conflict, laying the groundwork for their solution.”Today in the Constitution there are the rules that guide the future. If they are weakened, not respected or declared dead, that future is overshadowed. This is the moment when the constitutional order we have given ourselves must be governed more than ever,” Brahm said. The chair of the TC also said that respect for the Constitution is a “collective work of coexistence on which we build a better Chile” and added that “we aspire to a simple obligation: let us fully respect the Constitution. That’s what we call all the powers of state and all the inhabitants of our country.”
