The Minister of Energy has had to provide explanations for the Stabilization Law, which sought to mitigate the increase in electricity bills and received harsh recriminations in the Mining and Energy commission of the Chamber of Deputies.
Opposition parliamentarians are evaluating an interpellation or even a constitutional accusation against the Minister of Energy, Diego Pardow, for the price increase that electricity rates will experience from July 1.
The ministerial chief has had to provide explanations for the Stabilization Law, which sought to mitigate the increase in electricity bills. Likewise, he received harsh recriminations in the Mining and Energy commission of the Chamber of Deputies.
Faced with this scenario, opposition deputies did not rule out a possible constitutional accusation. This was commented by Marlene Pérez (UDI), who is also a member of the so-called electrical bench.
“After listening to the minister speak in the House this Wednesday, rather than talking about interpellation, he could even talk about a constitutional accusation,” he said.
Along the same lines, he argued that “only now is the minister making transparent the real impacts of the project he promoted. “The minister was negligent or simply tried to deceive parliamentarians.”
In any case, although the increase in electricity bills has generated criticism from various political sectors, deputy Jaime Araya (PPD) pointed out that this would be a political advantage.
“It doesn’t help at all to solve the problem. What needs to be done here is to convince the government and also the minister to be honest with the figures; Second, understand that the entry into force of this decree must be paused. This can generate a very serious problem, especially in small and medium-sized businesses, in middle-class families, in the most modest ones,” he said.
Also, he added that “solutions must be proposed. “We must not see this as an opportunity to hit the government and remove a minister.”
