The Chamber of Deputies approved the national reconstruction bill promoted by President José Antonio Kast's government. The initiative now heads to the Senate for its second reading after the public account on June 1.
Secretary General of the Presidency José García Ruminot confirmed the executive will seek cross-party support in the upper house. "Now we are going to the Senate, and we will also talk with the senators from all political parties," he stated.
The opposition, comprising senators from PS, PC, FA and PPD, announced rejection of the idea to legislate. Senator Daniela Cicardini said they will vote against the "law of the super rich" that benefits the 1% at the expense of the middle class.
The UDI bench asked President Kast to include immediate discussion for the Universal Nursery project in the Public Account. The deputies noted progress must occur without new employer burdens and with fiscal responsibility.
