The Minister of Finance, Ignacio Briones, confirmed that the Government will go to constitutional Court (TC) if a 10% second withdrawal of pension funds.
The decision had already been advanced by the president Sebastian Piñera, who during the week pointed out that “what we are seeing today is that a group of parliamentarians making abusive use of a loophole, of a constitutional circumvention, are trying to write a parallel Constitution without modifying the current Constitution, through transitory articles” .
In this regard, Briones declared this Sunday on Channel 13 that “you have to go” to the TC since “when the president says that this loophole, this shortcut, you have to stop it, the truth is that the only alternative is to go to the Constitutional Court, as stated by the president ”.
“We continue to believe that the universal massive withdrawal of pension funds Is it a bad idea (…) Making it massive is what it does is lower pension resources for tomorrow, ”he added.
Official support
He also referred to the 10% withdrawal project presented by the government, which limits the range of people who can benefit from the benefit, establishes a money refund mechanism and also sets the payment of income tax.
On this, Briones declared himself optimistic regarding the processing of this initiative, since there are Senators of Chile Let’s go that they would support it to the detriment of the one presented by deputies such as Pamela Jiles.
“We have had conversations with them, the same senators from Chile Vamos asked the Government this week to present a bill quite in line with the one we presented, and they have said that in the event of choosing between a project that is going through institutional, that is, by law, versus one that goes for constitutional reform, they will choose the first“, he pointed.
So that the Senate approve the second withdrawal of 10% without restrictions, which is currently in process, must have the support of senators from the ruling party, so if the statement by Briones is actually met, the bill could not be approved.
