Government would go to the Constitutional Court for project of second withdrawal of 10% of the AFPs

During this afternoon, the Constitution Commission of the Chamber of Deputies approved by a large majority the idea of ​​legislating the project that raises a second withdrawal of 10% of the AFPs.

The government that has not agreed with the suitability of a second withdrawal of the pension funds indicated that it will reserve the constitutionality of the project before the Constitutional Court.

In his intervention in the discussion of the Constitution Commission, the Undersecretary of the Segpres, Juan José Ossa, affirmed that “I request the secretariat to register the constitutionality reservations regarding all the projects that have been generally approved in the minutes associated, in this history of the law “.

Along these lines, Ossa stated that “all the constitutional and legal requirements are also understood to have been fulfilled before the Constitutional Court to consider this reservation, despite the fact that I have not been allowed to give the specific details of each of the regulations that they are being infringed ”.

Finally, the undersecretary specified that as long as Chile does not have a new Constitution “the current one must be respected.”
