В цифрах
Just hours before the Chilean Senate prepared to vote on the major tax reform, internal communications belonging to the Democratic Party (PPD) came to light. The document, dated June 23 and prepared by Senator Pedro Araya, shows that the party was open to an agreement with the government regarding tax stability. However, internal pressures within the party and Finance Minister Quiroz's last-minute attempt to change caused the agreement to collapse.
The document, also received by PPD President Raúl Soto, was never officially published due to objections from Senators Loreto Carvajal, Ricardo Celis, and Ximena Órdenes. Despite this, it clearly reveals the party's pursuit of an understanding with the government. The word "agreement" appears exactly 14 times in the document, emphasizing the desire for a broad consensus.
In the following weeks, PPD senators prepared a joint document proposing a gradual reduction of the 25-year tax stability period. The government evaluated this proposal and reached an understanding between the parties; however, Minister Quiroz's attempt to lower the corporate tax rate from 23% to 22% clogged the process once again. Although La Moneda Palace approved the agreement within two hours, PPD senators preferred to withdraw from the agreement due to party pressure.
