The Party of the People confirmed on Sunday that it will deliver its 13 votes to approve the idea of legislating the megareform promoted by the government. The deal was revived after including the elimination of VAT on medicines and diapers in the miscellaneous law.
Juan Marcelo Valenzuela, head of the PDG caucus, stated that the Executive fulfilled its commitment by submitting the initiative. “We are a serious and technical caucus that keeps its word,” he said.
The lawmaker valued that the VAT refund represents 100 million dollars for the middle class, a sector he said has never been considered by traditional politics. The project is expected to be reported on Monday in the Chamber of Deputies.
Valenzuela also backed the annulment of the party’s internal elections on April 25 due to missing voter rolls on time, which he considered a sign of institutional seriousness.
