The Government ruled out the possibility of applying a “pardon” to the 437,000 workers who received the Middle Class Bonus without meeting the necessary requirements.
The Government spokesperson, Jaime Bellolio, rejected the proposal of Deputy Gael Yeomans (CS), and compared – in the framework of the pandemic – that vaccines for Covid-19 will have the same cost, equivalent to 256 million dollars.
“This idea of ’sorry’ means not valuing the public resources that have to be available to the most vulnerable people in the country,” said the minister.
Bellolio insisted that “this Government is committed to the fact that every peso that is spent has to be done correctly. I cannot imagine what they would be like if they governed, if at all. they believe that it does not matter if someone makes an irregular profit. “
With this, Comparisons with the reduction of the fine to Julio Ponce Lerou for his role in the Cascadas case remain valid, since – the spokesperson pointed out – these are totally different situations and that there was a ruling by a court corresponding to another power of the State.
POSTURES DIVIDED IN THE CONGRESS
He deputy Raúl Soto, head of the PPD bench, who had also joined Yeomans’ proposal, recited that “the Middle Class Bonus was promoted by the Government at the last minute just to try to overturn the first withdrawal of 10%, a goal that it did not achieve” .
“And this public policy was poorly designed, therefore there is a responsibility of the Government and it has to assume that. That is why we stand today on the side of the people and demand a pardon,” he said.
For his part, Senator DC Jorge Pizarro, president of the Finance Commission of the Upper House, asked to take care of public silver.
“You have to establish responsibilities” for what happened with the bond, but “The resources that exist, which are scarce, have to reach the people who need them and for whom they were destined; Those who did not have a job loss, their income was not reduced, do not have a desperate situation like others, they have to have a little solidarity with people who really need it. “
