translated from Spanish: Karol Cariola: “The Government has said nonsense about the 40-hour project”

Amid the discussion over the project that reduces the 40 working hours, one of the promoters of the initiative, communist MEP Karol Cariola, shot against the arguments against the proposal that have arisen from The Coin.
“The Government has said nonsense about the project that reduces the working day to 40 hours per week, such as chile not going to play the Copa America or the Conaf will not be able to put out fires,” Cariola said in conversation with Radio Cooperativa. With regard to the DC’s position, considering the votes of some Parliamentarians aligned with the Government on other projects and even in the constitutional indictment against Minister Marcela Cubillos, the Member expressed confidence that this time since the red arrow tent will fold into opposition.
“We have been meeting with Christian Democracy on several occasions, we have had tremendous support from Deputy Matías Walker, who is part of the ‘cross-cutting bench’, also of the party president, Fuad Chahein, who was at the meeting we had with all party presidents and presidents, from the Broad Front to what was the New Majority. No Parliamentarian of the Christian Democracy is against the initiative,” he explained.
In this regard, the PC said that “the president of the Christian Democracy raised that they are supporting this bill and that they will vote in favor of the bill. Obviously they always have their own nuances and we have seen that within The Christian Democracy.”
“So far we have not seen any D.C. MPs who are against the project, none of them have raised it. If there are any mPs who go unhook, take responsibility and give the explanations to the public, support for this bill continues to grow by the citizens, more than 60 percent are in favor of the project,” he closed.
