President Pinera's Plea To Constitutional Court

CHILE

President Sebastian Pinera talking at a conference: Government will ask the country's Constitutional Court to rule on current bills making their way through congress.

  • It is "an obligation" for Chile's government to appeal to the Constitutional Court after congress' "abusive practice" of changing the constitution through laws
  • These laws erode Chile's institutions
  • The government will safeguard the autonomy of different powers of the state

This comes just days before congress should vote on a second pension withdrawal bill, that will allow a 10% withdrawal.
