Senadora Sánchez anticipa ofensiva ante el TC contra la mega reforma tributaria

Senator Beatriz Sánchez of the Broad Front admitted that the opposition lacks the votes to stop the government's sweeping reform, but questioned its political and social legitimacy. In her view, the initiative is being processed too quickly and will primarily benefit higher-income sectors. In a conversation with Mirna Schindler, Sánchez accused the Executive branch of "arrogance" for pushing through a transformation of this magnitude with a minimal majority. She also confirmed that constitutional experts are preparing a presentation before the Constitutional Court regarding potential tax and environmental issues. The senator linked this reform to the labor agenda, changes to the childcare system, and other initiatives that, she argued, weaken social rights. While acknowledging that the labor market needs to adapt, she warned that greater flexibility could harm workers due to low unionization and the resulting power imbalance with employers. In closing, she described the "Listen to Your Heart" bill as "cruel" and maintained that there is widespread rejection of conditioning a benefit provided for in the law on abortion in three specific cases. An interview marked by the dispute over the legitimacy of the reforms, the use of parliamentary majorities, and the government's political direction.
