After the Minister of Finance, Ignacio Briones, agreed to allow workers in public health services exceptionally with a bonus to be paid no later than January 2021, Deputy Camila Flores (RN) asked the head of the fiscal wallet for a similar monetary compensation for Carabineros and Armed Forces officials.
For the official deputy, both institutions have played a fundamental role during the pandemic, therefore, she assures that they are a key piece in the control of the disease.
“Unfortunately, the covid-19 is rebounding in several regions, for that reason more than ever we will need the deployment of Carabineros and Armed Forces for the respective supervision in every corner of the country. Therefore, I make a very heartfelt call to the Executive so that within the framework of the Public Sector Readjustment Law Project 2021 an indication is entered and also makes possible the payment of a special covid-19 health emergency bonus in the same amount as will grant the health workers of the public system “, proposed the deputy.
Specifically, the amount of the bonus to public health employees will amount to $ 200 thousand and will not be taxable, nor will it constitute income for any legal effect, and will be paid in a single installment no later than January 2021.
“We have seen how public health workers have given their lives to save those of others infected by the coronavirus, and that is why the help promised by the Government is more than necessary. But, likewise, I want to remind Minister Briones that the police and Armed Forces officials have also ensured the integrity of the citizenry in this pandemic, many times without hours or rest “, stressed the ruling parliamentarian.
“As public servants, Carabineros and the Armed Forces are constantly risking their lives when they oversee compliance with health standards, often receiving mistreatment and ungrateful moments when exercising their work to guarantee order and security in the country, above all, during curfews, away from their children and their wives, reflecting their love for their homeland, ”Flores said.
