The Minister of Finance, Ignacio Briones, confirmed that the Government will appeal to the Constitutional Court against the second withdrawal of 10% of the AFPs, if there is no solution “by institutional means”.
“Here we are not simply talking about whether the 10% withdrawal, or if the tax on the super rich, or if the postponement of patents, what is at stake here is a drift, a way of making reforms that do not talk with our institutional framework, here what we have to defend and protect is our institutional framework , because democracy, its robustness, its health, is based on this limitation of powers, on this separation of powers, we cannot have a de facto parliamentarism“Briones fired.
The head of the Treasury assured that said initiative “They are eroding that advance towards a new Constitution and are diluting the separation of powers that is so necessary in a democracy.”
“I think that is the basic point that must be kept in mind here. The powers have to have borders, they have to have limits, and therefore what is under discussion is not just a withdrawal”added.
“Institutional route”
He also mentioned that “initiatives that have begun to flourish recurrently (…) by way of temporary modifications of our Constitution, they are eroding this healthy separation of powers that must exist “.
Asked if they will appeal to the Constitutional Court against the project of the second withdrawal of 10%, Briones responded that “here what corresponds is this type of situation is to treat them through the institutional channel. If that is not possible, of course the Executive has the duty to ensure respect and watch over our institutionality, because it is a fundamental pillar for our democracy“.
