The The Constitutional Commission of the Lower House debates this Tuesday the reform that proposes a second withdrawal of 10 percent of pension savings, an instance in which a rapid approval in general of the initiative resulting from the merger of three others is expected.

He deputy Matías Walker (DC), president of the commission, confirmed that will vote in favor of the project promoted mainly by Pamela Jiles (PH), but admitted being aware of the impact that it will bring to the future pensions of workers.

With the first process “1.9 million affiliates have already withdrawn all their funds, and if there is a second withdrawal there are 4.2 million affiliates in that situation, that is why we are going to approve in general, but noting that situation, “he said.

“That is why it is so important that an agreement be reached in the Senate regarding pension reform,” he urged.

In turn, the deputy Alejandra Sepúlveda (FRVS) pointed out that “it is very important that it be approved, especially with the improvement that is being attempted as a result of the experience of the first retreat and the indications that are going to be presented. Of course we are concerned about the issue of pensions in the future, but we are concerned beyond what has to do with the withdrawal of funds “.

However, the Minister of Finance, Ignacio Briones, reiterated this morning in Cooperative what it is “incompatible to go for an improvement to pensions and at the same time take measures that weaken them”, exemplifying that each retirement process “subtracts two contribution points”, which is a third of what is proposed in the pension reform (6 percent additional capture).

In this context, the Government is already trying to convince the parliamentarians of Chile Vamos, whose votes were key in the approval in both Houses of the first withdrawal.

Likewise, Juan Sutil, president of the Confederation of Production and Commerce, considered “nonsense that on the one hand are all sectors, both union, labor, business, political, looking for how to carry out a better pension reform, with more contributions; and today we are thinking that we have to withdraw another 10 percent. “

“It seems to me absolutely contrary to what all international organizations recommend to us,” closed the leader of big business.

The Commission is cited for 3:00 p.m. of this Tuesday, a session in which the retirement for retirees of annuity and the forced withdrawal for alimony debtors; and will be analyzed in particular the withdrawal of pension funds for the terminally ill, generally approved two weeks ago.
