The debate takes the political sphere. And not only that: The discomfort against the Minister of Finance, Mario Marcel; and the Director of Budgets, Javiera Martínez.
This, after the cutting of the expense that the next administration must face, regarding the imbalances and the level of debt that compromises Chile will be transparent.
Against the aforementioned lack of transparency, violation of the principle of fiscal responsibility and new calculation errors.
Criticism against the Treasury and Dipres
Yesterday Chile Vamos stated that this government is unfair, referring to the inheritance that would leave the favorite today – according to the surveys – to reach La Moneda, Evelyn Matthei.
That, regarding the staging left by the Budget Director, Javiera Martínez, and a particular table that was exposed to the Congress where the fiscal adjustment for 2025 was detailed, but also for the next 4 years: 995 million dollars in 2025 -1.191 million in 2027- others 1,052 in 2028 and 1,091 in 2029.
Consulted by the presentation of the Treasury yesterday at Congress, the presidential candidate for Centrodécha said The situation of the economy is “catastrophic”; and that the government of President Gabriel Boric does nothing about it.
Specifically, there would be a deficit that, in the judgment of the candidate, would be even greater (double).
In the ruling party, meanwhile, they have remained silent.
Who did support the administration of Minister Marcel was the deputy of the Regionalist Regionalist Federation, Jaime Mullet.
The parliamentarian highlighted the government’s efforts and the responsibility of past administrations in the fiscal landscape.
And through a statement, the president of the Confederation of Production and Commerce (CPC), Susana Jiménez, said that the one that modifies the structural balance goal implies that the goal that the authority had established is not being fulfilled.
It also caught the attention that a GDP growth projection of 2.5% for 2025 is maintained, in a context of growing global commercial tensions.
That could be translated into tax revenues even lower than expected and, consequently, an effective and structural deficit greater than projected.
