The Consumer Defense Commission of the Congress (Codeco) is preparing to address the debate on the projects proposing a new withdrawal of funds from the Pension Fund Administrators (AFP) in its next session, with Codeco's president, Wilson Soto, indicating that they will request the projects from the Economy Commission on the subject. In statements to Canal N, Soto mentioned that they are in consultation with the members of Codeco and it is likely that they will request the bills debated in the Economy Commission related to the AFP withdrawal. He recalled that in 2020, Codeco managed to push forward a similar initiative in comparable circumstances. When asked about his specific proposal for fund withdrawal, Soto suggested that a withdrawal of up to 2 Tax Units (UIT) would be reasonable and could represent relief for families, allowing them to allocate those funds to start businesses. He emphasized the importance of families using those resources for productive purposes rather than consumption, highlighting the need to cultivate a culture of responsible financial management. Additionally, Soto addressed other topics of interest, such as the discussion on the disqualification of members of the National Board of Justice, expressing his support for the report recommending disqualification and mentioning that they will listen to the defense lawyers of the institution as part of the procedure. Furthermore, the legislator spoke about his justice reform project, highlighting the lack of trust of the citizens in the judicial system and his proposal to create a special commission to address the issue, currently in the Justice Commission. These statements by Wilson Soto reflect Codeco's agenda regarding AFP fund withdrawals and other relevant topics in the current situation, showing the importance of finding a balance between the needs of families and financial responsibility amid a context of economic uncertainty.
