translated from Spanish: Deputy Raúl Soto (PPD) calls on Senate to respect “spirit” of the project that allows withdrawal of 10% of AFP funds

The deputy for the O’Higgins region and head of bench of the PPD, Raúl Soto, made a direct call to the Senate to “respect the spirit” of the project that allows the withdrawal of 10% of the AFPs and keep it as “a universal right without small letter”.
The parliamentarian, who was the author of one of the consolidated projects for the withdrawal of 10% hopes that on Monday “the Senate Constitution Commission, keep what we already established in the first paperwork in the Chamber of Deputies and is that this project is for all, without any kind of exclusion” and added that: “We cannot give room to the search for some remnants that will only have the eagerness to integrate the famous letter of an initiative that has the spirit of reaching out to everyone and all those who have their planned savings.”
Soto added that the call to the Senate is “not to bend and not to step back with the bill, in addition to recovering some of what was lost in Wednesday’s particular vote in the Chamber of Deputies, which left out the Solidarity Fund and that it is possible to replenish in the second legislative procedure that continues on Monday.”
The deputy also stressed the need to establish the initiative as “a universal right”, since “there are many doubts of the public for the campaign of terror that the Government has carried out and all the officialism, with an initiative that seeks to do justice with millions of Chileans from vulnerable and middle-class sectors”.
