translated from Spanish: Official deputies value eventual government support for withdrawal of money from Cesantía Fund

UDI Deputies Guillermo Ramírez, Jorge Alessandri and his RN pair, Gonzalo Fuenzalida, arrived at La Moneda a month ago to support the idea of money extraction from Cesantía Fund Managers (AFC), instead of a third withdrawal of 10% of AFPs.
Mr Alessandri and a member of the Constitution Committee said that “this project was so bad and so broad with this indication that Matías Walker put it that it allows Parliament to legislate on social security in anything, not just 10%. That is, whenever there is a State of Emergency, it prohibits you from replenishing the funds eventually when it could or a President would like. I mean, Walker’s indication got the project very much engies, and that’s where the AFC resurfaces.”
Alessandri made a warning and said that “we are looking at the details, we ask the Government to enter it, not only is it a wedge of goodwill, and if you enter it without fine print such as the text I presented to you a month ago in La Moneda there is a high chance that 10% will not bring the quorum together.”
The gremialist, Ramirez and a member of the Labour Committee argued that “what we have proposed is that the instrument reach the most vulnerable families and the 10% withdrawal leaves out three million people who previously received something and will now receive nothing. That is why we have taken Joaquín Lavín’s proposal and asked the Government to study it and we are happy to be receiving good signals from the Executive.”
From RN, Mr Fuenzalida said that “the aid that the Government has promoted is good aid, but they will always be insufficient at a time when people need resources, so the proposal we made with some parliamentarians, supporting the idea of Mayor Lavín, to be able to generate a withdrawal of the cessantía funds, today takes a lot of strength, because this would reach ten and a half million people , much more than a third withdrawal of pension funds could come, as there are four million people who will not receive a weight. The cessantía funds will provide aid between $400,000 and $1,000,0000, being a relief and aid that should be put on the table today to be discussed and that is why we expect the government to pick it up.”
