“We are asking for it because the deadlines are getting closer. The quarantines have not yet been lifted and it is not possible to work at full capacity, so we will need more support for the families ”, said the head of the bench, deputy Luciano Cruz-Coke. He argued that they are waiting for a response from the head of public finances who belongs to the same party.
Also this week in the Social Development Commission, its deputy head Boris Barrera (PC) asked the undersecretary of the branch, Sebastian Villarreal the same: “there is a need to extend the IFE, people are asking for it, the economic difficulties have not diminished, the number of common pots remains. Before the answer of the undersecretary it was clear to us that they have not considered it.
Likewise, the deputies Jaime Naranjo (PS) and Miguel Mellado (RN) joined forces to insist with the measure for a longer term. “It is a proposal that has the support of the bench and that was also unanimously supported by the Economy and Social Development commissions because the situation has not improved and there are no signs of improvement. If the government does not do so, the new withdrawal of 10% of the AFPs will become a tsunami that is difficult to contain, ”Naranjo said.
While Mellado said: “In some places the quarantine has returned, in many still people have not found employment. As this is the last payment, we ask the government to extend it for three more months so that people can pay for their house expenses ”.
Also in RN, the deputy Sofia Cid supported this requirement: “Without a doubt it is an important fiscal effort, but the reality of the pandemic requires it as long as we cannot make an effective transition in terms of opening up the economy.”
Along the same lines, the deputies Matias Walker (DC) and Leonardo Soto (PPD) spoke out on Twitter. “Seriously, the government is not going to renew it while the state of catastrophe is maintained” indicated the first, as well as the second argued: “The lack of sense of reality of this government, the economic and social effects of the Covid is not understood they continue to affect families and support is required ”.
