President Sebastian Piñera on Sunday received in his residence the presidents of Chile Vamos, a coalition of parties that support him, in which he agreed to work on a new fundamental law.
Interior Minister Gonzalo Blumel explained that the method proposed by La Moneda will be a 'Constituent Congress.'
According to Blumel, this is the best formula to advance the process, which has 'broad participation of citizens, and can lead to a ratifying plebiscite.'
Social organizations and opposition parties have demanded that this process is carried out through a Constituent Assembly, which would guarantee the broadest democratic participation in the drafting of a Constitution that gathers the opinions of all Chileans.
Matias Walker, chair of the Constitution Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, which will address this issue on Monday, told Radio Bio Bio station that it is positive that the government has changed its position and committed to a new Constitution instead of just proposing changes to the current one.
