The government coalition party and the Christian Democratic party presented a proposal that calls for a 100 percent elected constituent convention of 134 representatives, with reserved seats, participation of independents, and a six-month term of operation.

However, there has been no response from the right-wing alliance Chile Vamos (Let’s Go Chile) on the democratic body, parity, and participation of indigenous peoples, Social Convergence legislator Diego Ibáñez said.

Ibañez denounced that as long as the right wing does not agree, unfortunately, this table has no chance to move forward.

The stalemate in the negotiations led to suspending two meetings scheduled for this week between the parties represented in Parliament and rescheduling them for Monday.

The government coalition and the Christian Democracy insisted on the need to reach an agreement this month and not to continue delaying an issue that generates more uncertainty for the people and the economy.
