A group of deputies from Renovación Nacional was left with the treatment that the parliamentarians who voted against the idea of legislating the tax reform project of the Government of President Gabriel Boric would have received from the Executive.
Through a letter sent to the President, the deputies referred to the statements of the Head of State who, after refusing the measure, aligned himself with the statements of the Minister of Finance, Mario Marcel, who assured that those who had won after the rejection of the reform were those who “evade taxes”.
In this sense, they pointed out that “to affirm that those of us who voted against the reform are in favor of circumvention or evasion -the latter even constituting a crime- is an affront and an offense, similar to accusing His Excellency of favoring drug trafficking or organized crime for its rejection of projects as relevant in the matter as the one that penalizes drug trafficking and attacks the patrimony of drug traffickers”.
Likewise, the opposition parliamentarians called for “moderation and respect” when the criticisms “are formulated on the occasion of votes in which broad sectors of society and a majority represented in the Chamber wanted to demonstrate.”
There are “statements by the Government that seek to deceive public opinion, insinuating that a set of initiatives would be left without financing” when the tax reform was rejected, they concluded from Renovación Nacional.
