Fernández and FA candidacy to preside over the convention: "It is a bit overwhelming"

Amid the start of the background debate and the voting of the articles of proposals for norms for a new constitution, the conventional ones continue the treatment to renew the board of the constitutional convention next Tuesday, January 4, where the president will be replaced, the president will be replaced,Elisa Loncon, and the vice president, Jaime Bassa.

The knots are to achieve sponsorships for the new table that - in the opinion of a majority of constituents - should have a clear profile in this new stage with a high leadership and communication capacity.

In an interview with Final Guideline, of Radio Radio, the conventional of the socialist collective Patricio Fernández said that the new table must be more political and with a broader capacity to generate consensus and dialogue in the objective of carrying out the norms and, later, to achieveAdhesion to the exit plebiscite.

The footprint of the voting: the ideological position of the candidates to preside over the Convention

A study by Unholster located on a left-right axis to all conventional ones, including the eight in the race.And guideline analyzed what his variation has been in recent months.

"This table has two unavoidable obligations.One is to be able to internally coordinate the maximum wills to get the 2/3 that are required to carry out each of the standards.Therefore, in the first place, a large radio amplitude is required.I believe that this amplitude, that ability to coordinate internally with the greatest possible bread.

Fernández pointed out that "if one had to answer it with a mathematical equation: the task of the table is to get 2/3 inside and approval of the plebiscite outside.That is, not a table with personality, a very institutional table, it is not a symbolic table this time, but that a very political, articulating table, a table that somehow renounces the individuality of those who exercise it to be a representative of theInstitution of the Convention ".

He also questioned that Beatriz Sánchez, from the Frente Amplio and former presidential candidate, comes to occupy the testera because the elected president, Gabriel Buric, is also a front -world championship.

The debate in the constituent body falls on what is the role that the community must assume since the official March in this new period.

"Some believe that if Beatriz Sánchez headed this it would be like a very strong flatterer, let's say in the presidency of it, and I subscribe it.And, in addition, because Bea Sánchez, and I say this regardless of her person, because I think she also fully complies with the capabilities to carry out what has to be done, but she was also a presidential candidate of the Frente Amplio.There is an image there that can appear very strong with her leading this and Gabriel Buric in the government, "he said.

"But there are many more possible mixtures.Now that this means vetoing the Broad Front to the interior of the table, it doesn't seem at all sensible to me either.I think there are very, very adequate names that could also be part, but indeed, I agree that there is something that is a bit overwhelming with two figures of so much tonnage, say politician, that is one in the presidency, the other in thePresidency of the Convention to direct what is coming, "he added.

On the popular initiatives of norms, which are the ones proposed by citizens, there is only one that has reached the 15,000 firms necessary to be discussed in the Constitutional Convention -especially abortion -, so the debate about the debate around thepossibility of lowering demands.

The letter of the Socialist Collective for the Presidency of the Convention tells Paining that the original peoples must be more open to negotiate and that the next table should be chaired by two women.

Fernández said not to be in favor of lowering the number of signatures and that, on the contrary, the great challenge of the Convention should be to improve communication channels and manage to summon citizens more force.

"I am not in favor of lowering the threshold, it has been discussed, that is, that has been around the convention conversations.I believe that here you have to understand this as follows.In everything that corresponds to participation, indeed, a way of seeing it, it would be to say that there was voluntarism.Because, and if one reviews the popular participation regulations, he realizes that the aspirations or what the imagination of the convention carried, say, he was going to put there, he is far from what is going to be achieved.But we must also understand that here we have had little support from the institutionality, "he said.

"Then the communication capacity, you will have realized that it has always been very poor in the convention, your ability to reach the population, even with the news, with the mechanisms, with advertisements to be part of this, you have notIt was everything effective, the massive and penetrating one that one would have wanted.That said, I believe that once the parameter is fixed to get one, to put an initiative of standard, better not to change it, but to make more effort because more people know and can adjust the stipulated number, "he concluded.
