He President Sebastián Piñera assured that more than a million people have already received the middle class bonus which was released more than 10 days ago.
From La Moneda, the President also highlighted that 550 thousand people have already applied for the State solidarity loan, whose interest is equal to zero.
So, three out of every four Chileans -said Piñera- have benefited from some social aid during the five months in which the pandemic has lasted in Chile.
“We have already been improving for seven weeks in the fight against the coronavirus, which has allowed us to start an opening plan ‘Step by step’,” he stressed while acknowledging that “there are going to be outbreaks, but we have to be able to isolate to new people who are infected to prevent the pandemic from regaining strength “.
“The ‘Step by Step’ recovery plan will allow us to get the country back on track,” he said.
“We are aware that in this process we have faced difficulties, which are explained by the massive number of people who have applied for this bond or the loan.. But along with acknowledging the difficulties, I want to thank the staff of the Internal Revenue Service, since without their dedicated work, this would not have been possible, “added Piñera.
