Sebastián Piñera’s government received harsh criticism from the current opposition, for the 51 projects that now have legislative urgencies, less than 10 days before the change of presidential command and the renewal of Congress.
As it happened in December, again Sebastián Piñera’s government received harsh criticism from the current opposition, for the 51 projects that now have legislative urgencies, less than 10 days before the presidential change of command.
The current presidential veto to an indication of the project that regulates the working conditions of digital platforms, the initiative with Immediate Discussion that forces political parties to condemn violence, and above all, a new renewal of the urgency of the TPP- 11, which is still not processed in the Senate.
The deputy for Social Convergence, Diego Ibañez, questioned why they insist on an initiative that, in his opinion, violates the ‘sovereignty of the country’, and described as ‘gross’ the government’s attempt to ‘extend its mandate’.
The UDI deputy, Jorge Alessandri, defended the government and stated that under this logic, deputies and senators should also stop legislating these days. Alessandri said that he hoped that Gabriel Boric would also govern until the last day, in four more years.
A less expected criticism was that of the deputy and secretary general of National Renewal, Diego Schalper, who described the renovation of emergencies as “a political trick” and called on the government to focus on other issues.
The SEGPRES minister, Juan José Ossa, defended the executive’s position, specifying that many of the emergencies are part of the folder that he delivered to the next SEGPRES, Giorgio Jackson, and described them as ‘continuity projects’.
Of the total emergencies, 33 correspond to the Senate, 13 to the chamber and five to the mixed commissions. In any case, this last number dropped to four, after seven years of processing, the Drugs II bill was dispatched from the joint venture, which will continue its process in the Senate’s Finance Commission.
