In Chile, Treasury Minister Jorge Quiroz's last-minute introduction of a provision to reduce the corporate tax rate from 23 percent to 22 percent, outside the tax reform agreement reached with the opposition, created a crisis. PPD Senator Pedro Araya stated that the government broke its word, shaking confidence and undermining the foundation of the agreement.
Araya emphasized that he refused to meet with Treasury Minister Quiroz and that from now on, no step would be taken without a written guarantee. The senator also demanded a reduction in the special fuel tax to support middle- and low-income groups.
Outlining the conditions for continuing negotiations, Araya announced that Wednesday's vote in the Senado is the final deadline. Because the right wing holds 26 votes in the Senate, he argued that the opposition must remain at the negotiating table to mitigate the negative impacts of the reform.
