Deputy Diego Schalperfrom Renovación Nacional (RN), advocated this Sunday night that The Government actively promotes reform of the political system.
Points are raised from Parliament such as deepening the anti-riot norm, prevent there from being deputies with less than a threshold of votesreducing the number of congressmen, preventing fractionation and atomization, and making compliance with committee agreements mandatory to vote in one way or another, among others.
«I am optimistic. I believe that we are aware and, unlike what the mayor (of Valparaíso, Jorge) Sharp said, that there are missing parties, I believe that Chile has plenty of parties in Congress and therefore I believe that Taking a risk to end political fragmentation is essential. Now, I do worry about one thing,» Schalper said in Zero Tolerance (CNN Chile), warning that «Since the President’s doubts, I have seen that the initiative on the part of the Government has cooled.»
That question, he assured, «is confirmed this morning by the Minister (of the Segpres, Álvaro) Elizaldewhen he says that they are like facilitators».
«I would tell him that he is not a facilitator; what he has to promote, if the Government considers that it is something important, is to push thisbecause he is not someone innocuous or an external advisor,» said the deputy RN, before adding that «hopefully President Boric, as he was convinced at some point, and Minister Elizalde, as he and the Government were convinced, will facilitate the terms for us to move that forward.»
«In the end, let’s say things like they are: There is a fear in the Communist Party of being below the thresholdSo, the question is: are we going to prevent ending the political fragmentation in Chile to please the Communist Party or are we going to be able to understand that, even having to make more effort – and look at the case of Evópoli, for example – example: Evópoli is very likely to cease to exist-, what is important in the end, what is good for Chile or what is good for its particular interest?», he pointed out.
Asked about his hypothesis about the eventual disappearance of the group led by Gloria Hutt, Schalper – his partner in Chile Vamos – answered: «I want to be super frank, they have said that themselves. Evópoli is aware that with a threshold of 4% or 5% it may not continue and the valuable thing is that they promote it. «I think that has enormous value.»
