The Minister of Finance, Ignacio Briones, announced during the night of this Tuesday the delivery of a new Emergency Family Income (IFE) for low-income groups in the quarantined regions.
In the middle of a press point from Congress, after 11:00 pm, he remarked that “there are many regions that are in quarantine” and that probably – based on international experience – there will be outbreaks in the country.
This measure was requested by the ruling party parliamentarians in the middle of the 2021 Budget discussion., which must be approved yes or yes in the coming days, and which was also part of the proposals that were discussed with the opposition.
As specified by the holder of the portfolio, considers the same amounts as the IFE delivered in the first instance, but this time it will only be focused on quarantined localities, to prevent – mainly low-income sectors – from taking to the streets for economic needs.
“This allows us to respond with agility today to localities that are having a bad time and next year to those that may have re-growth. I hope they don’t fall into that situation, ”he assured.
Regarding the difficulties of targeting a benefit of these characteristics, he specified that It will be executed based on the payroll obtained in the first instance, which exceeded 8 million people benefited.
“This new IFE Quarantine is going to be based on that already built payroll, therefore it will be much easier to apply,” he said.
In this context, so that this benefit can be applied, Briones and some regional senators, such as Francisco Chahuán (RN), called on all sectors to approve the 2021 Budget.
