After the agreement presented by Chile Vamos, Renovación Nacional, Evópoli, Republicans, Partido de la Gente (PDG), independents and the UDI, the government spokesperson, Camila Vallejo, stated that the document “concerned her” and that the government will present next week the pension reform bill.
Along these lines, the Secretary of State stated that the text prepared by the opposition “concerned us a bit because this proposal is closer to the ideas of José Piñera than to those of Sebastián Piñera. It makes us go more to the extreme than we are “.
Vallejo explained that the pension system created and defended by José Piñera, “is an extreme of private administration, practically mandatory, there are not many alternatives in the system, it is forced savings.” This, to the detriment of the “mixed and moderate” system sought by the Government.
Along the same lines, the spokeswoman called “for reflection on not allowing ourselves to go backwards. The opposition’s proposal reinforces the extreme in which we have been for a long time and does not allow us to advance, to evolve.”
On the other hand, the Secretary of State indicated that “the design of this reform is mainly intended to generate an immediate increase for retirees in our country.” Likewise, she confirmed that the project will be presented in the coming days.
“Next week it can be presented to public opinion, to the citizenry, by President Gabriel Boric,” Vallejo concluded.
