The Senate Constitution Committee discarded the transient decrease 50%, regarding the project that downgrade parliamentary diet.

The above, after an agreement by the members of the instance, which proposes that an external body fix the amount.

The project, coming from the Chamber, would present serious flaws according to some senators members of the instance. The figure would affect officials who have nothing to do with politics, such as – for example, those who hold positions in the Judiciary.

Specifically, in the Commission it was considered that the Council of Senior Public Management should set the amount until an external body establishes the final remuneration.

In this sense, the president of the Senate Constitution Commission, Alfonso de Urresti (PS), indicated that now it seeks to improve part of the initiative, since the project from the Chamber, did not meet all the objectives set.

“To be able to establish an improvement of a project in which there is consensus that, as it had been formulated, did not meet all the objectives that had been set,” he said.

He also added that in the project “There was inclusion of some authorities that did not correspond or some figures if this project was approved as it came, it affected several thousand people who have a civil service career, who did not have to be included ”.

In the Commission they agreed that the project be directed to parliamentarians and to high government officials, such as the President of the Republic, the ministers, undersecretaries, regional governors, among others.

For his part, Senator Francisco Huenchumilla (DC), indicated that without prior study, no concrete decision can be made, since it could affect thousands of officials with technical or professional careers.

“It would be necessary to have a transitory norm while the implementation of this organization comes into effect,” he assured.

In addition, he added that without all the well-studied technical data, they could make a “decision that would produce perverse effects regarding the different hierarchies that exist in the rest of the State administration, where we are fundamentally talking about professional careers that have a different nature from the political world ”.

Meanwhile, Senator Víctor Pérez (UDI) criticized the Chamber’s project and pointed out that “as in other issues, the discussion that is generated in the Senate, once again has a sense of rationality, regarding the issues that came from the camera”.

Along the same lines, he added that “There is no doubt that it has to be a high-level commission of people They have proven, due to their public record, bearing in mind the various aspects of this issue, what will be the remuneration of a Minister of State, what will be the remuneration of a deputy, a senator and other political authorities. “

The Commission agreed to vote next week on the 34 indications entered in the corresponding terms.

Meanwhile, some senators continue to wait for the government to become part of the discussion, despite the last indication that lasted only one afternoon: excluded ministers and undersecretaries from the reduction in their salaries.
