The head of the Segegob indicated that with this, a third withdrawal of funds from the AFPs and another project that "occupies this same mechanism if one wanted to declare it unconstitutional, the TC does, with a specific requirement."

The government spokesman, Jaime Bellolio, affirmed this Tuesday that after the ruling of the Constitutional Court (TC) that declared the second withdrawal of 10% of the funds from the AFPs unconstitutional, "it is very clear that they cannot continue to carry out projects that are in progress. against the rules. " In his opinion, this "is a ruling that is relevant, because it sets a precedent. Although we have a legal system that is based on precedents, once a position is established by the Constitutional Court, it will be relevant for cases that come similar to them in the future. "

With this, Bellolio recalled that "here there was a constitutional trap for trying to make a parallel constitution through transients (...) That is relevant for other projects that have been like that, there are almost 11 that we have identified that are quite similar , and of course, that this marks an important precedent, because they tell Congress, and particularly the Chamber of Deputies, that this unconstitutional trap cannot continue to be made.

 

 

" "Here it is very clear that they cannot continue to carry out projects that go against the rules, because it is not part of the essence of democracy to continue making a constitutional trap," he declared. In addition, the spokesperson for La Moneda stated that "a third withdrawal or another project that occupies this same mechanism, if one wants to declare it unconstitutional, is done by the TC, going with a specific requirement. But it does seem to us that it is a super clear sign of support to the arguments that we have put in the same TC and we now hope that the parliamentarians will not present more projects with the same formula, knowing that it is unconstitutional. " Regarding the project that allows the exceptional withdrawal of funds accumulated in insurance companies, under the modality of life annuities, Bellolio commented that "effectively this is the same mechanism and has another unconstitutionality that the life accounts are not savings of the same people That is known to many of the parliamentarians who want to do the same project, there again it is a call to responsibility ".
