translated from Spanish: Marcela Sabat (RN) and emergency postnatal: “It does not precarious the employment situation of women after the pandemic”

MEP Marcela Sabat (RN) referred to the bill that aims to establish an emergency postnatal (extend the postnatal), which was yesterday declared admissible by a joint commission in Congress.
The initiative is not to the taste of La Moneda, where it is considered unconstitutional, and the government is pushing its own project, which aims to annex mothers and caregivers of minors to the Employment Protection Act, which allows workers to use their cessation insurance funds.
Sabat said in conversation with Cooperativa, that “postnatal for us is the best alternative, because it does not precarious the employment situation of women after the pandemic.”
Regarding the government option, while the parliamentarian later appreciated the initiative “of (we spent) three months of becoming aware of a need,” she said that “for the most vulnerable mothers there must be a more robust response than the suspension of employment.”
Regarding the debate that has produced the project within officialism, which yesterday had an example with the commentary of Senator Andrés Allamand (RN), before the argument of the deputy of his own party, Francisco Eguiguren, Sabat suggested that “there have been changes of positions in Chile Let’s go and that has removed the waters; to see more social than the prospect of one’s party. It’s typical of a process that we’re living as a country.”
