[FNX Magokiler]

Alluding to "previously acquired commitments", Irina Karamanos justified her absence this afternoon from the session of the Committee on the Elderly and Disability of the Chamber. Instance to which she had been summoned after the controversy caused by the change of name of the cabinet to Sociocultural Coordination. The issue arose after La Moneda corrected the "administrative error" and annulled the resolution that changed the name of the "First Lady's Cabinet" to "Irina Karamanos's Cabinet." Given this, deputies from RN asked the commission to attend to give an account of the approach that the new "Sociocultural Coordination of the Presidency of the Republic" will have, warning in passing the "exclusion" of older adults from its priorities. .

In a letter to the commission, to which Emol had access, Karamanos thanked the invitation, stating that "unfortunately, due to previously acquired commitments, I will not be able to participate in this instance. However, with pleasure and through this letter, I proceed to respond to the concerns that the H. Deputies and Deputies have expressed to me". "In the first place, to point out that the Sociocultural Coordination, from the private law foundations (PRODEMU, Integra, Tiempos Nuevos, Youth and Children's Orchestras, and Crafts of Chile, Todo Chilenter), has adopted approaches that guide the work that is carried out, without distinguishing by age groups of the po[CENSORED]tion, since the work that is carried out is comprehensive and intergenerational," he said. With this, he indicated that "in general terms, the work carried out by these foundations has a direct or indirect impact on the lives of older people. Then, in particular, the work carried out by some institutions has programmatic lines especially dedicated to older people.

 

 

" "Notwithstanding the foregoing, the development of the elderly is one of the main priority issues of the current Government and, therefore, is deployed through various agencies and programs. On the one hand, and as is known of the commission, there are various programs in public institutions that are regularly and specifically dedicated to the elderly po[CENSORED]tion," he said. In addition, he explained that "the government program includes various measures related to the National Care System, whose target po[CENSORED]tion will be children and adolescents, people with disabilities, the elderly (with and without dependency) and caregivers. This will be made up of the following pillars: social co-responsibility of care, community participation, universality, local relevance and interculturality, community care, prevention/delay of dependency and data management". "Finally, and regarding the request to report on the resources, investments and programs that have been implemented in the Administrative Directorate of the Presidency of the Republic, from its creation to date, it seems appropriate to point out that said information must be requested and provided by the Administrative Directorate itself, which is in charge of the administration of the human, financial and material resources of the Presidency of the Republic as sti[CENSORED]ted in its functions in the corresponding exempt resolution," he added.
