President Gabriel Boric criticized this Saturday that the opposition was subtracted from the Security Table, after the pardons granted by the president to 12 prisoners of the social outbreak and to the former frontist Jorge Mateluna, reported Radio Cooperativa.
During a meeting with residents of various cities in the country, the President indicated that the Government presented a security agenda, but that “today we have a political debate that is very focused on the elite, regarding whether the right is going up or down of the security agenda”.
In this discussion, “you lose sight of the fact that what matters is you, the Chilean men and women who are living in fear in your neighborhoods.”
The expressions were criticized by Senator Manuel José Ossandón.
“I think the President has reality a bit confused, because he is the first one who is not listening or connecting with the people, because he was the one who broke the security table and because of his responsibilities, today we are unable to move forward. I I have been inviting my sector to leave behind the problem of pardons so that we can return to the table, but President Boric also has to do his part because this is an issue for everyone, not only in our sector, just like him wants to make the President understand,” said Ossandón.
This morning, the head of the bench of the Evópoli deputies, Francisco Undurraga, told Radio Cooperative that “rather than going back or not going back to the security table, I would tell the minister (of the Interior, Carolina) Tohá that we are also concerned about the projects and to date we have not seen any bills entered in the Senate or to the Chamber of Deputies”.
At Mapocho Station
The President’s words were given this Saturday at the Neighborhood, Neighborhood and City Meeting to discuss housing and security issues, where more than 400 leaders from the Metropolitan Region, Valparaíso, O’Higgins and residents of Arica and Antofagasta gathered in the Mapocho Station to raise their concerns about the Government’s plans in this matter.
On the occasion, the Minister of Housing and Urbanism, Carlos Montes, referred to the bill that seeks to “facilitate access to credit for the middle classes” so that they can buy “the first home only up to 4,500 UF.”
In addition, he explained that they are creating a program to give guarantees to certain construction sectors, which has a fund “so that companies with financing problems have resources.”
With it, “they are allowed to access a line of credit that allows them to cover guarantees, insurance and various expenses they have,” Montes said.
The president of the First Organization of the Chamber of Construction, Juan Armando, assured that the aforementioned project “goes in the right direction of a public-private alliance, where efforts are being focused on the reactivation of the country, on investment and especially in the middle class with support for the purchase of their home”.
