Elizalde's political reform: who will be the members of the mixed commission that will untie the last knots

The Chilean Chamber of Deputies voted to establish a mixed commission tasked with resolving the remaining issues of a previous political reform proposal led by former Interior Minister Álvaro Elizalde (PS). The commission includes five members from the Chamber of Deputies, Daniel Manouchehri (PS), Mario Olavarría (UDI), Joanna Pérez (Independent ex-Democrats), Felipe Ross (Republican), and Gonzalo Winter (FA), and five senators: Danisa Astudillo (PS), Loreto Carvajal (PPD), Esteban Velásquez (FRVS), Renzo Trisotti (Republican), and Miguel Ángel Becker (RN). The commission’s first task is to determine its leadership and session schedule, with expectations that Senator Danisa Astudillo will be elected as chair. The unresolved issue relates to a rejected amendment regarding the 'Constitution of Political Parties,' which aimed to require parties to condemn totalitarian systems and violence while promoting transparency. This amendment was rejected by the Senate in June due to concerns over alignment with the national constitution.

"Delinquent" and "fair lady": Campillai and Flores face off in the Senate

The article reports on a heated confrontation between Chilean senators Jaime Campillai and Carolina Flores during a Senate session.
