Representatives of the Council of Rectors expressed to President Piñera the commitment of the universities to social peace.

On the occasion, the executive vice president of CRUCH, Aldo Valle, stated that “on the basis of peace, we can effectively advance in the purpose of rebuilding the confidence of citizens in our institutions and advance in the political and institutional changes that the country it requires in an urgent way ”.

En representación del Consejo de Rectores de las Universidades Chilenas (CRUCH), nueve rectores concurrieron a la reunión convocada por el Presidente de la República Sebastián Piñera para expresar que las universidades del CRUCH comparten su llamado a comprometerse por la paz social.

En la ocasión entregaron al mandatario una carta donde se hace público este compromiso. “Lo hacemos en el bien entendido que sobre la base de la paz podemos efectivamente avanzar en el propósito de reconstruir la confianza de los ciudadanos en nuestras instituciones y de avanzar en los cambios políticos e institucionales que el país requiere de modo impostergable”, sostuvo el vicepresidente ejecutivo del CRUCH, Aldo Valle, al finalizar el encuentro de este jueves 14 de noviembre.

On the other hand, as the Council of Rectors “we call on the political system as a whole to hopefully reach a constitutional agreement that responds to an already historic citizen demand so that, ultimately, we have more representative institutions, institutions that do not lose hopefully the trust of society and certainly also so that all the necessary changes are made to provide the most solid foundation that social peace must always have, which is harmony, social cohesion and social justice ”, said Valle.

The executive vice president described as "essential" to make this call known "and ask everyone to join in, because social peace is an indispensable condition to achieve the purposes that as a country we are declaring these days."

In addition to the rector Valle, the alternate executive vice president and rector of the U. Técnica Federico Santa María, Darcy Fuenzalida; the rector of the University of Chile, Ennio Vivaldi; from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, Ignacio Sánchez; from the Pontifical Catholic University of Valparaíso, Claudio Elórtegui; from the U. Técnica Metropolitana, Luis Pinto; from the Metropolitan University of Education Sciences, Jaime Espinosa; from the U. de Playa Ancha, Patricio Sanhueza; and from the U. Alberto Hurtado, Eduardo Silva. In addition, the rector of the DUOC, Ricardo Paredes, accompanied them.

CRUCH call to the political system

Con respecto a los mecanismos para cambiar la Constitución, Valle señaló que “esa es una tarea y una responsabilidad del sistema político”. Agregó que “se debe hacer el más generoso esfuerzo para que efectivamente se recupere la confianza, la representatividad y con eso la legitimación del sistema político, porque sin duda se ha visto deteriorada. Es tarea del sistema político, por lo mismo, arribar a un acuerdo que dé esa respuesta que el país está esperando y que se ha demandado por largo tiempo”.
