“If I am not allowed to resign, I am obliged to resume my duties as a conventional.” In this way during the morning of this Monday, in a video of 6 minutes and 28 seconds, Rodrigo Rojas Vade reported that he would return to his duties at the Constitutional Convention.
His announcement came after months of silence after the third sunday revealed that he did not suffer from cancer -a disease that he claimed to have during the social outbreak-, which motivated him to announce his intention to leave the position for which he was elected in the 13th district. To which was added the complaint filed with the Prosecutor’s Office by the then Board of Directors of the Convention headed by Elisa Loncon (Mapuche) and Jaime Bassa (CS).
During this Monday, the current president of the body, María Elisa Quinteros (MSC) announced that Rojas Vade (District 13) could resume her functions as conventional from this Tuesday. “Many people in the country have been defrauded by the actions of the constituent, however from the powers that we have in the Constitutional Convention we cannot prevent his return, that is clear, because he was democratically elected and we do not have mechanisms, we do not have the powers ” , the president explained.
But his decision has also generated transversal rejection among the conventionalists of the different groups that make up the Constitutional Convention.
The Vice President of the Gaspar Domínguez Convention (New Constitution Independents) He asked for three things: To Rojas Vade: Please don’t come back; to the Senate: We urge to process the bill that allows the resignation; to citizens: Many fundamental regulations are being discussed, let’s not lose focus on what is important”.
the conventional Yarela Gómez (FA) Indian: “Rodrigo Rojas Vade: Do not return to a process that already has your resignation and does not require your presence. At last the foundations of the transformations that Chile has mandated us are being laid and, thank goodness, on time, without you”.
Known by Christian Viera (Ind.) assured that “The eventual return of Rodrigo Rojas is terrible news. He caused tremendous damage to CC and if his concern is our job, You should stay as far away as possible.”
Jennifer Mella (CS) Held: “Rodrigo, don’t come back, you formally resigned, with a letter and everything. Keep that line that was the decent act you could do after the disaster caused. Today you only cause damage and discredit. Here in the Constitutional Convention there was not and there will be no space for corporate defenses”.
Manuel Royo (MSC) He pointed out that “the thing about Rojas Vade is cruelty and lack of respect not only for the work of the Convention, but for an entire country. A liar should not resume his duties or continue damaging the CC as he has done.
Ignacio Achurra (CS) I declare that “The conventional Rojas Vade has done enough damage to the Constitutional Convention. I hope, for the good of the process and, as a consequence of Chile, that he will not return to his duties. Hopefully Congress swiftly processes the project that enables his resignation. It is urgent”.

Tatiana Urrutia (RD) indicated that “Rojas Vade does not have to return. He resigned without a Law in between, it is true, but he resigned. That Law is missing, as are many others in Chile. Would he then be lying to the country a second time? Let Congress act, of course, but let Rojas Vade keep his word.”
Claudio Gomez (PS) He maintained that “I don’t know if Rojas Vade is capable of estimating the damage he caused and will cause if he returns to CC, but if he wants the process to move forward, he must stay far away. Unfortunately, as CC we do not have the tools to deny his return, the mechanism has been in Congress for months.
the conventional Ingrid Villena from the same district of Vade and elected by the People’s List (it is currently a Constituent People) assured that “As a member of District 13, I want to express my annoyance and sorrow for the eventual return of CC Rojas Vade. The discredit and damage done to this process is excessive. Such beautiful things were going to happen this week and none of that was going to be reflected, a shame”.
Javier Fuchslocher (Ind. New Constitution) stated, meanwhile, that “Rojas Vade’s intentions to return to the Convention is a lack of respect for all the work and progress we have been making for months. You have already submitted your resignation, do us a favor and do not continue damaging this historical process with your unethical actions.”

Pedro Munoz (PS) He stated that “from day one we said it loud and clear: Rojas Vade should not return to the Convention. The Board of Directors must intensify the political dialogue with the new Executive and the Congress for the urgent approval of the reform that enables his immediate departure.”
Patricia Politzer (Ind. New Constitution) pointed out that it was a “Bad news for the Convention is the eventual return of Rodrigo Rojas Vade. It has already damaged the Convention enough for it to continue to deepen that damage. I suspect that nobody wants him voting for the new constitutional text. What reason will he have to come back at this time?”
Katerine Montealegre (UDI)raised: “The pelao’s vote was missing, let Vade come back,” shouted the members of the town’s list in voting on the Form of State report when they lacked one vote to reach 2/3. That is the only reason why the “honorable” Conventional who lied to all of Chile returns “
Hernan Larrain (Evopoli) assured that “Rojas Vade can resign today (article 60 CPR). Let’s not invent for the Senate a responsibility that he must assume. For the good of the Constituent Process it is essential that Rojas Vade resign”.
Francisca Arauna (Constituent People) indicated that “I want to express my rejection of a possible return to his functions of the Conventional Rojas Vade. It has already done enough damage to the process for it to continue to harm it.”

Your teammate Loreto Vallejos pointed out that “I do not agree with the return of Rodrigo to the CC, I hope he reconsiders this decision, for the well-being of our work and of the demands of the peoples that we have defended so much and it has cost us to raise “The Convention Defends Itself” also with the decision to stay out “.
Daniel Bravo, also from Pueblo Constituentheld that “Rodrigo Rojas Vade must not return to the Constitutional Convention. Perhaps you have not visualized the effect of your announcement and its concreteness. Said eventual return will only cause damage and discredit. I hope that he reconsiders, for the good of Chile and the Convention”.
Bernardo Fontaine (RN)declared that the return of Rojas Vade would mean “an embarrassment for the Convention that will tarnish the proposed constitution.”
