The president of the Senate, Adriana Muñoz, referred on Thursday night to the approval of a second withdrawal of pension funds by Chilean workers who need to face the economic crisis caused by the pandemic.
Muñoz argued that the initiative promoted by the government and the obstacles imposed by the Executive on the project born in Parliament, also generated an institutional crisis between Congress and the Executive.
“We have unfortunately been subjected to a conflictive relationship with the Executive in the treatment of this entire bill.. I have pointed out that an institutional crisis was generated between the Senate and the Executive, the government, the President of the Republic, given that in the middle of the process, having been approved over the required quorum in the Chamber of Deputies, having been approved in the Senate Constitution Commission, the government intervenes with a bill and with a request of unconstitutionality to the Constitutional Court. Now, if there is a threat of a veto, it would really be a deeper crisis and a very great disappointment for thousands of Chileans who are waiting for this project, which has already been completely dispatched by Parliament, to be promulgated into law.”, He expressed.
More about Withdrawal of funds
The initiative was approved by the Chamber of the Upper House and was dispatched for enactment.
“The project has already been passed for law and has to be enacted. Now the entire enactment process is in the hands of the government and we hope that this will be done with agility so that the resources can really be obtained before Christmas, ”said the legislator of the Party for Democracy.
