"hard to believe that the Authority intends to earmark for vulnerable women in the country, less than a third of what it was willing to pay as premium in the case Kodama, so if we want a discussion serious and sensible that the Government must set a budget consistent with the objectives of the project objectives stated in the message of the bill and that we share and support, but with the same certainty as we pointed out that the articles not consistent with these purposes, or much less the cost associated with the draft law. Therefore we call upon the President to decide and open the checkbook of the state to create a system that really allows to combine work with parenthood "assured parliamentarians.

"We want to be clear here: this is a project that does not deal well with temporary, because they impose greater demands for access to maternity allowance," they said. DISCRIMINATION
Concertación Senators claimed that the low budget generates discriminatory provisions, because this extension of twelve additional weeks postnatal provides a reduction from 67 to 30 UF as the maximum amount to finance the salaries of women using the period extension.

We want a post natal same for all women, because as a social security policy can not be discriminatory and, unfortunately, with the resources allocated to this draft law is unable to meet the expectations laid by the President in his capacity presidential candidate. It's like trying to buy a new car with a million dollars just is not enough, "explained the lawmakers who claimed that this provision also strongly affects the public sector workers. Finally

XIMENA
CORNER: SENATOR CONCERNED BY SLOW REBUILDING IN RURAL
After touring the town of Maitenes in the town of Linares and visit survivors in what remains of their homes, the parliament raised the need to address the issue in two areas. "They will spend another winter in their mediaguas and needed now, and, help to protect against rain and wind. That in the short term, because in the medium term needs to encourage housing construction in our fields, which are no longer attractive to businesses, "he said.
His concern at the pace that is taking the process of reconstruction in rural areas, said the Senator Sur Maule, Ximena Rincón, after touring the town of Maitenes, municipality of Linares, where he visited survivors in what remains of home.
regard, MP said that what happens in Maitenes replicates to much or just as much in other towns in the provinces of Linares and Cauquenes, as well as in other areas devastated by the earthquake and tsunami of 27 February 2010.
"It's been over a year and people complain of excessive processing, and then a long wait, which will force them to spend New mediaguas winter. This occurs for two reasons, first is that the Minvu has made not a few, but dozens of fixes to the reconstruction plan, delaying, hindering the processing of grants. The second problem has to do with market logic, because the companies are putting to build urban areas, where costs are lower and not have to move two, three or more miles to build two houses, which is what happens in field, "said Ximena Rincón
lawmaker said he hoped the new minister of housing reconstruction does not suffer further legal changes, which will speed up administrative procedures. Added that is waiting for the Government agrees to the proposal to increase the subsidy for reconstruction in rural areas to get companies interested in building in the field.
"This idea is contained in a draft agreement submitted by the special committee of reconstruction in the Senate and was approved unanimously by the Board, so we expect the Government to house it. We have a history of families in a camp in Talca UF received 680 grant, which trades under the Serviu is completely in order. Well, we want this benefit and we welcome and is considered in the redevelopment plan be extended to the rural sector, by far the most late, "he said.
also requested that there are concerns immediately to repair and waterproof their emergency housing. "These families will spend another winter in their mediaguas and needed now, and, help to protect against rain and wind. None of the emergency shelter I visited in Maitenes is prepared to overcome the weather, I raised the issue that Regional Governor, "he said. COMPLACENCY
Senator stressed that reconstruction has generally been low, for what he called the government to "stop being complacent and self-deception, because the situation, the reality is dramatic. " He added that the President's commitment was to have 45,000 homes built before June this year, which is impossible.
"All we told him that it was physically impossible, and that means that for people who lost everything, their level of anxiety and frustration is greater. A fact, according to the Centre of Reconstruction at the University of Chile, in June this year will, hopefully, four thousand houses built or under reconstruction, less than ten percent of the government's goal, "said Rincon.
Finally, the parliament said the first step to improving is to recognize the errors, as did the deputy Independent Democratic Union, Jorge Ulloa, who called the executive not to lie about the reality of reconstruction.
