The Senate Chamber approved a differentiated increase in the public sector, of 2.7% for incomes equal to or less than 2 million pesos and 0.8% for the highest, including the increase in cutting line.
In this way, the bill was sent to the Chamber of Deputies for the third legislative process, where if the changes made by the Senate are confirmed, the bill will be ready to become law.
Likewise, progress was made in the bonus for health workers for 200,000 pesos and that it extended its coverage to officials of the José Joaquín Aguirre Hospital and the Armed Forces.
The delivery mechanism of this unique benefit will be informed by the Ministry of Finance as of January 31, according to the established agreement.

The Secretary of State, Ignacio Briones, valued the disposition of the unions in the middle of the negotiation and stressed that public finances are “required.”
The Socialist Party senator and member of the Finance Commission, Carlos Montes, affirmed that the readjustment seeks to maintain the purchasing power of the workers and ruled out that it is a great project.
As we said, the vote has been trapped in various articles, such as 65, which indicated that SENAME officials may resign from office due to the needs of the Service, which will be determined by its National Director based on reasons related to the restructuring process of said institution on the occasion of the creation of the National Service of Specialized Protection for Children and Adolescents.
Although this issue was defended by the Minister of Justice, Hernán Larraín, the Senate Chamber decided to suppress it by 19 votes in favor, 16 against and 1 abstention because, in the opinion of the opposition legislators, it is an initiative that should be seen in particular and not within this gloss.
