The United Labor and Finance commissions of the Senate must begin this Thursday the processing of the withdrawal of 10% proposed by the Government on the eve, a counterproject that has already garnered several criticisms for its “self-loan” character for the beneficiaries.
That is, it obliges affiliates to replenish the resources taken from their AFP accounts with an increase in future contributions, which would be set by the Superintendency of Pensions.
The Minister of Finance came out of the questioning, Ignacio Briones, Stating that “there are other analysts who have raised this formula precisely to have the view that we can not neglect pensions Chileans and Chilean”.
“Without savings, without funds, it is impossible to pay pensions, and this is here and anywhere in the world. The money has to come from somewhere, and the specific mechanism will be determined by the Superintendency, “he insisted.
Reparos of Durana, Moreira and Sandoval
The new initiative entered the Senate today, which is currently reviewing the second retirement project in its final stage; plus, is with immediate discussion, which means that it must be processed in its entirety in the Upper House in the next six days. In fact, it is analyzed by the joint Finance and Labor commissions.
Through this action, the Executive intends that it not only be seen in parallel to the initiative of the deputy Pamela Jiles (PH), but that try to convince some government parliamentarians in the coming days not to support the project promoted by the opposition.
Of the five right-wing senators committed so far, the UDI already qualifies its position Jose Durana, who admits that “this project really meets the needs of the people,” while pointing out that “I am requesting that it cannot be through a self-loan”.
“The other project, yes or yes, will have a constitutionality reserve, and it will go to the Constitutional Court; therefore, If the objective is really to help people, I think the entire Senate should approve the bill presented by the Government“, he asserted.
Durana coincided with his co-religionist Ivan Moreira, who was less enthusiastic, only anticipating that “I will vote in conscience”, and that “I hope that to make the right decision the project is corrected, increasing to 150 UF -4 million 350 thousand- the withdrawal, and that it is without reimbursement “.
In the same vein also said the UDI David Sandoval, another of those who support the second retreat but had asked the Executive to promote their own project.
“It will be necessary to correct the two matters that personally concern me: this refund mechanism and also the 60 days proposed by the Government” for the payment of the first installment of the eventual withdrawal: “It seems absolutely exaggerated.”
But “with those improvements, we could be talking”, said.
OSSANDÓN CRITICIZES THE “LETRA CHICA”
For his part, Senator RN Manuel José Ossandón denied, for now, changing the compromised vote to the opposition, which needs the support of at least three government officials to reach a quorum of three fifths, because it does not share the terms of the government’s project: “I am not willing to support it, because you have to put scissors into it.”
“Aspi does not have my support, proposing conditions to withdraw the money is the fine print. It dirties what is an initiative to help those who need it. I’m willing to talk, but no fine print “he pointed.
President of the Senate: “It is an instrument to order your ranks”
On the other hand, the president of the Corporation, Adriana muñoz (PPD), acknowledged the legislative strategy behind the bill, stating that it also “comes as an instrument to order its ranks.”
“Now, the contents are quite unacceptable to us, and by the way, we are waiting to be able to put on table the project that left the Constitution Commission late yesterday, and we are going to process it on its merit, “remarked the also member of the Labor Commission.
From that same instance it coincided Carolina Goic (DC), who argues that “what raise in the background is a self-loan, it is not the second withdrawal, and therefore I am not going to support that proposal. What we want here is to advance the logic of the project that was being processed “.
This afternoon, Senator Muñoz requested the agreement to vote next Wednesday, until full dispatch, the second withdrawal project of the opposition, and to advance with the urgency entered by the Government, his project could also reach the Chamber that day. The first, in the second constitutional process, and the second, just in the first.
“You could see, first, the constitutional reform project (of the opposition) and then the law presented by the Government. On Wednesday we could process both projects“, he pointed out, in the absence of agreement of committees to cite the session.
However, it is likely that the date may undergo changes, because next week the Upper House will have to address the 2021 Budget.
