The Minister of the Segpres, Felipe Ward, called on “parliamentarians to understand that this is the last procedural opportunity for this benefit to see the light. If the veto were rejected, it would be very serious and I think that nobody is putting themselves in that place in order to have to explain to 4.5 million people that they are not going to deliver this benefit because there were political differences. “
“When the politicians agree, it is the citizenry that wins,” he said, noting that there were “difficulties and pitfalls” in processing in Congress.
The head of Segpres confirmed that the additive and substitute veto will be processed during the morning of this Tuesday in the Finance Commission of the Chamber of Deputies and later in the Chamber, to then go on to review it in the Senate on Wednesday.
Head of DC bench: “We approve with reproach”
Known the presidential veto, a meeting was held – via Zoom – of the bench of deputies of the Christian Democrats to analyze the proposal, where it was stated that there is no room to continue rejecting.
“We approve with reproach, that the aid could have been much greater, since Chile can do today, “said the head of the DC bench, Daniel Verdessi.
The legislator maintained that “our caucus is deeply disappointed, because the Government has not been able to put itself in the place of Chilean families in the difficult moments of the pandemic. Leading economists have shown that it is possible at this time to improve (the benefit) and that It is the time when the State must rescue families and small businesses“
