After a week of discussions on the pension reform in the Senate, the Minister of Finance, Ignacio Briones, he assured in an interview with El Mercurio, that if the discussion for a second pension withdrawal were to advance, the Government would not sit down to discuss a reform to the AFPs system.
The representative of the Democratic Revolution and member of the Labor and Social Welfare Commission, Natalia Castillo, said that the Government is avoiding any reform to the pension system.
Likewise, his peer on the commission, the deputy for National Renovation, Francisco Eguiguren, assured that Minister Briones is wrong in understanding the problem of pensions.
Instead, from the Upper House, they supported the Minister of Finance.
The senator and president of the UDI, Jacqueline van Rysselberghe, who is also a member of the Labor and Social Welfare Commission, he agreed with Minister Ignacio Briones, and affirmed that a second pension withdrawal would make a reform unsustainable.
Meanwhile from the opposition, his counterpart from the Labor commission, the Socialist senator, Juan Pablo Letelier, also agreed with the Executive and maintained that the current context of the country is not the same as a couple of months ago, and assured that a second withdrawal would make the processing of a pension reform unfeasible.
It is expected that at three in the afternoon the former Minister of Finance Rodrigo Valdés will appear at the Senate Labor and Social Welfare Commission, to present the positive and negative points between the project that promotes a solidarity fund and the dispatch of the Low camera. Initiative that, from now on, does not have the approval of the opposition senators.
