The Bank of Deputies of the PPD issued a statement on Tuesday afternoon, indicating that they will support the bill that proposes that members can make a second withdrawal of their pension funds.

“As long as the Government does not put on the table a direct transfer of resources such as an Emergency Basic Income, that ensure a significant income for middle class families and vulnerable sectors of the country, it is impossible not to support this initiative ”, affirmed the Head of the Bank, Raúl Soto.

The parliamentarian indicated that “the campaign of terror that said that the effects of withdrawing the pension funds would be very harmful to the economy, were totally false and were thus denied in fact.”

“Between now and the end of the year, many people will continue to need the money to face the effects of the pandemic, and this project allows all people to withdraw their savings, and endure these months of crisis with dignity ”, added.

Along the same lines, Congressman Rodrigo González stressed that due to the “ineffectiveness of the Government” to help families, it leads to a second withdrawal of AFP funds.

“It is not the definitive solution, but for the social assistance that the vast majority of Chileans require today, it is a solution, to the extent that the government does not approve an emergency basic income for a period that lasts the entire time of the pandemic. , and continue the job deprivation, “said Deputy González.

While, Deputy Carolina Marzán indicated that “the withdrawal is voluntary, so that people are free to do it or not, but we cannot prejudge that the needs do not exist. Despite the fact that the purpose and purpose of these funds are for pensions, they correspond to money that emanates from the work of each one ”.
