We feel totally surprised: DC and PPD express annoyance over PS's announcement to turn to the TC for the mega-reform

The article reports on growing tensions within Chile's opposition after the Partido Socialista (PS) announced it would challenge a tax clause in the 'megareform' proposed by President José Antonio Kast through the Constitutional Court (TC). This move came despite claims from leaders of other parties like Democracia Cristiana (DC) and Partido Popular (PPD) that the decision had not been collectively agreed upon. The controversy arose after a meeting where representatives from various opposition parties discussed continuing collaborative work on the reform and postponing any definitive decision until Thursday. However, the PS proceeded to publicly announce their intention to take legal action, arguing that the tax clause was unjust and regressive, favoring the wealthy. In response, DC and PPD leaders expressed surprise at the PS's unilateral announcement, stating they believed there was no political agreement to proceed with such a move.
