The announcement by Pablo Maltés, chief of staff of the deputy of the Humanist Party, Pamela Jiles, of a project for a third withdrawal of 10% of pension savings, triggered a deep controversy in the opposition.
“They take advantage of the need of the people for their personal interests,” tweeted the deputy of Social Convergence, Gabriel Boric, an obvious allusion to the candidacy for regional governor of the parliamentary couple.
Boric, who has had a history of disagreements with the humanist parliamentarian, indicated that it is “irresponsible when the second withdrawal is just taking place (as a result of the government’s misunderstanding of the magnitude of the crisis), to present a third when many already they have no savings ”.
In his opinion, “we must insist on emergency family income above the poverty line and move forward with a tax on the super rich. Let’s regain the initiative and make public policies seriously, “he said.
Miguel Crispi, a deputy for the Democratic Revolution (RD), also joined in the criticism, and pointed out that “I don’t think that a candidate, who is an advisor to a deputy, occupies this space to generate this type of controversy and win votes.” It is the parliamentarians who have to announce these withdrawals and not candidates, “said Iván Flores (DC).
PH defense
Meanwhile, the Humanist Party came out to support the project. The president of the community, Catalina Valenzuela, emphasized that “as long as the incapable and indolent government of Sebastián Piñera is not capable of making a radical change, which means taking this people constituted as Chile out of hunger, misery and indignity; We have no choice but to be able to appeal to the only resource we have, which is the savings of each of the workers in this country, involved in this disastrous pension system ”.
Likewise, the general secretary of the PH, Marcelo Rioseco, recalled that “the pandemic and all the social and economic drama that it has meant for many families in Chile is not an invention of Pablo Maltés or our deputy.”
“It seems to us a basement what some politicians of the old guard are doing to evade the underlying issue and lead the debate to personal disqualifications,” he questioned.
