The presidential candidate of the Socialist Party, Paula Narváez, arrived at the National Congress of Valparaíso to meet with the bench of deputies and the committee of senators of the PS, together with whom she unveiled her universal basic income proposal and tax proposal.
“We have proposed a universal basic income that guarantees, for a family of 4 people, the sum of 600 thousand pesos. This is a proposal that is put up for debate and consideration by the National Congress,” he said. He also stressed that this initiative can be applied “with fiscal responsibility and that makes it possible and achievable.”
Along these lines, he said that it is necessary to make tax modifications. “For example, reviewing tax exemptions, which is a debate that is ongoing, as well as ending avoidance and evasion, with whose resources it could collect at least 5 points of GDP and thereby alleviate the Chilean families that need it today, “he said.
On other issues, Narváez stated that another issue that worries him is that “this health and economic emergency does not continue to be financed by Chileans through their own savings,” which he said, “is how the Government has managed this crisis to this day. “
“We believe it is essential that the financing of the emergency universal basic income comes, among other measures, not only from the State, but from those who have done even better during this pandemic, who have seen gains in their economic activities and who have seen their income increase. patrimonies, “he said.
“Therefore, it seems significant to us, and also for the economic stability of Chile, that those who have more, contribute more, especially in times of crisis. That is why we have supported the idea of the project on tax on super rich, “he closed.
