La TerceraLO·CL·about 9 hours ago
Chilean President Gabriel Boric expressed hope for a swift resolution of a pending point in the mixed commission regarding the megareform, emphasizing the need for cooperation from all political sectors.
The Chilean Congress has approved the core components of President Kast's 'Mega-reform' package, marking a significant legislative victory. However, specific provisions, including property tax exemptions for citizens over 65 and municipal tax compensation mechanisms, have been referred to mixed committees due to legislative disputes, primarily with the PDG caucus. The government also faces a Constitutional Court challenge to the reconstruction bill's tax invariability clauses.
