translated from Spanish: Overflows: “I don’t know if a third withdrawal can be avoided by now”

In conversation with Radio Cooperativa, the former Defense Minister and presidential candidate of RN and the PRI, Mario Desbordes, referred to the third withdrawal of 10% of AFPs and the request that the government entered the TC against the project that could now be dispatched by Congress.
Desbordes’ sayings come after President Piñera’s appointment yesterday with the presidents of Chile Vamos’s parties, after the reform that allows the withdrawal of planned funds was approved by the Senate.
Desbordes assured that there are alternatives in case the government does not withdraw the request, including presenting a permanent project, which was nevertheless already rejected in the Chamber of Deputies.
The ex-deputy, however, suggested that “I do not know if a third withdrawal can be avoided at this point” and assured that from his party formulas were put forward and then replenish the withdrawn amounts, including raising the contribution to 11% or delaying the retirement age, with a tax bond.
On the opposition’s proposal for tax changes to finance a universal basic income, Desbordes said that “there will be a small tax reform anyway.”
Asked in the conversation about whether the little government flexibility was due to the advice of presidential advisers, in particular the head of advisers, Christian Larroulet, the former defense minister said that “I have never been holy of his devotion because I am on a social right and many people of Freedom and Development do not understand that there is a version of center-right complementary to theirs”.
