This Tuesday the bill that proposes a second withdrawal of 10% of the AFPs will be voted in the Chamber of Deputies, an initiative proposed by opposition parliamentarians and even supported by some of the ruling party. The main detractor of the measure – again – is the Government that, in the words of its spokesperson, will bet on the indications made by parliamentarians of Chile Vamos to avoid that “4 million people are left without funds.”

After a meeting with Piñera and the political committee in Cerro Castillo, Jaime Bellolio, government spokesman minister, affirmed that “in all parts of the world pension funds require forced savings, and it is incompatible that there are people who have 0, and at At the same time, we all want to have a very good pension system that gives us decent pensions in the future. “

Bellolio reiterated La Moneda’s refusal and assured that he was in talks with the parliamentarians of Chile Vamos who propose conditions for the withdrawal. “Several of those indications that have been presented, we believe they are adequate, and we are going to see how the debate is going to take place this week,” added the minister.

The Secretary of State took the opportunity to promote the pension reform and criticized the Senate, which “has been discussing this reform for more than 9 months.” Bellolio stressed that it had already been approved in the Chamber of Deputies and therefore hopes that “we can do it as soon as possible.”

The spokesperson concluded that it is “a little incompatible that we have 4 million people, if this is approved and they all draw their funds, with nothing in the pension funds, at the same time as wanting to create a system that provides us with adequate pensions for old age “.

One of the proposals of Chile Vamos is to authorize the transfer of funds only for unemployed people or those who can prove a reduction of at least 30 percent of their income, preventing it from being universal. Parliamentarians from Chile Vamos announced that in the debate that will take place next Tuesday they will once again insist, together with the Government, on these modifications that – otherwise – were rejected by the Constitutional Commission.

While on the other hand there are those who say that you have to give freedom “without fine print.” “I hope that this Tuesday there will be transversal support from all political sectors. The second withdrawal is urgently needed by the people, it is their money and we, the parliamentarians, cannot be saying who can withdraw and who cannot,” he said. deputy RN Jorge Durán.

“We have to give freedom without fine print, without obstacles so that this second withdrawal reaches the families that need it most,” added the official legislator.

The Chamber of Deputies and Deputies will vote in the Chamber next Tuesday on the reform that allows the second withdrawal and in the session 93 votes in favor will be necessary for the initiative to reach the Senate for its second process.
