The Minister of Finance, Ignacio Briones, appreciated the broad support of the Senate for the Government’s project to allow a new withdrawal of 10% of the funds in the AFPs, ruling out exempting people with lower incomes from paying taxes.
After the end of the session in the Upper House, Briones affirmed that “here what is under discussion is not retirement, it is respect for our institutionality.”
The Secretary of State assured that the constitutional reform of a group of deputies, rejected this day, sought, by way of a temporary modification, write a “parallel Constitution.”
Asked about the indication presented, but declared inadmissible to exempt people with lower incomes from paying taxes who withdraw part of their pension funds, Briones clarified that “tax matters are the exclusive powers of the President of the Republic.”
“Let’s stop inventing things, let’s talk to people with the truth,” said Briones, explaining that those who earn between 700 thousand and 1 million pesos, will have to pay about 40 thousand pesos to withdraw $ 1 million from the AFP funds.
In addition, he justified the measure, stating that “a person who earns one and a half million pesos, whether we like it or not, is within the richest 10% of this country.”
For his part, the Minister Secretary General of the Presidency, Cristián Monckeberg, called on the deputies to quickly process the initiative: “Immediately, this project has immediate discussion, therefore it begins to process in the Chamber of Deputies, and we hope Y We ask the deputies, with all the necessary debate, to remove this project as soon as possible “.
“For that, the Government is willing so that we can process it quickly when it is estimated by the Labor and Finance commissions, and make it a reality that this project reaches a successful conclusion and that the families who need it and require it can withdraw those funds at the latest in December and, subsequently, according to the payment terms, that is to say as soon as possible. All the speed so that we can move forward in a good way, “he added.
In addition, he noted: “Here, beyond a legislative urgency, what we need is a political urgency, that is why the call to parliamentarians so that beyond the immediate discussion or the urgency that they want to give, we need the conviction and decision of the deputies to move it forward “.
“Regarding our collation, I reiterate our thanks, because we built this project together, we built this solution together, and everyone gave in in the search for a good project and a good response to citizens,” he concluded.
