📋 Tender Overview
Despite 2 special sessions and the debate started yesterday Tuesday the motion that would allow Cores to resign their positions 30 days before running for councilors or mayors was not finally sanctioned. The sessions were marked by differences that emerged between parliamentarians. Several sessions and arduous previous discussions marked the debate around the bill that eliminates the inability of regional councilors Cores to be candidates for mayor and councilor. However the voting of the legal text did not take place and the differences between the senators after the debate became irreconcilable for the moment.It should be remembered that currently the regional councilors must resign one year before their positions in order to run for councilors or mayors and this initiative proposes that they do so from the thirty days prior to the date of the respective election and until the day after it. In addition from the Constitution Commission it was added that during the aforementioned period the regional councilor will keep his diet in addition to some procedures for the election of the president of the Council. During the last day of the special session only the admissibility of the indication of parliamentarians of the Independent Democratic Union UDI which proposed to lift all disabilities was reached however the proposal was declared inadmissible by the majority of the Chamber.On this day two special sessions were held in the first one the aforementioned indication was replaced which was explained by Senators Juan Antonio Coloma and Ena Von Baer who argued that this is the way forward so that the law is the same for all and Senator Francisco Chahun announced his support. However Senator Francisco Huenchumilla questioned the admissibility of the amendment because - in his opinion - he is moving away from the main ideas of the motion. After this the session time was fulfilled so it was requested 4 hours before as established by the Regulation a new Special Session to sanction the project which was cited at 2030 hours.At the appointed time the instance was constituted and despite a long debate with the argument - in favor and against - of several senators the project did not reach dispatch because the time set for the session was fulfilled. Senator Luz Ebenspereger reiterated that the sector seeks equality before the law and here there is an open discrimination In addition he warned that the directors have an impact on the resources of the regions such as the FNDR which does not seem healthy being candidates.Then Senator Huenchumilla insisted that the indication in question is inadmissible alluding to the fact that the motion has only the Cores as a parent idea and requested reconsideration vote so that the indication is inadmissible. In this regard the President of the Senate Jaime Quintana clarified that the Bureau followed the criteria of the Constitution Commission which voted against it declaring it admissible. In turn Senators Coloma and Vctor Prez Varela recalled the act of Constitution and defended its processing and called to discuss the merits of the indication.Meanwhile Senator Von Baer insisted that they are in favor of lifting all disabilities and many of those who took the floor said they agreed but now they tell us that this is out of the matrices ... . We are not thinking about the complete democratic system he claimed. Similar argument was made by Senator David Sandoval who pointed out that we felt that here there was consensus and willingness to lift the disabilities altogether. Senator Yasna Provoste replied that the only regrettable thing is that there is a political force that opposes the regional councilors to lift a disability ... and have used dilatory tools he said.Along the same lines Senator Ricardo Lagos Weber pointed out that in his opinion there are arguments that have been extended beyond reason but Senator Chahun went further and demanded that permanent dilatory maneuvers have been used. Coincident with these positions argued Senator lvaro Elizalde. Senator Alejandro Navarro noted that the indication is admissible and invited to discuss in particular what are the inabilities to lift them. However Senator Carlos Montes was critical because it is too delicate it is a poor indication and internal organization is attacked we enter a crisis situation . In the opinion of Senator Ximena Rincn again and again the UDI bench has torpedoed the possibility we discuss about the project in question. Senator Juan Castro also spoke who said that when citizens see this kind of discussion they criticize the political class. Its a shame what happens . This is an improvisation. We must be serious to legislate ... that is why I do not vote he emphasized.It should be noted that Senator Ebensperger also emphatically denied that her bench is delaying the debate and clarified that a fair project is being sought.
