Marcela Cubillos, a prominent Chilean politician, is heading a group of former members of the constitutional convention who will “advise” newly elected Republican councilors. The group aims to help the councilors develop a conservative agenda and provide them with insight gained from their experience in drafting a new constitution. This announcement has caused controversy, with some accusing Cubillos of attempting to influence the Republicans in their efforts to block the leftist agenda. However, Cubillos has defended her actions, arguing that every political sector has the right to advocate their beliefs. This move is likely to intensify the already polarized political climate in Chile, as conservatives seek to counter the gains made by the leftist coalition in recent elections. The move also highlights the importance of advisory groups and the role they play in shaping policy decisions. Whether this move by Cubillos and her team will have a significant impact remains to be seen, but it underlines the need for all citizens to remain vigilant and informed about the actions of their representatives.
