Hugo Guzman: How do you respond to the questioning of the work of the constitutional commission members to the point of blaming them for the victory of the vote to reject the proposed new constitution?

I believe that because the social impetus and the expectation of a new constitution to replace the one foisted by the dictatorship is still in force that the reasons for the defeat are important to grasp.
