Original article: «Demuestra que es posible construir una mayoría para defender a las y los trabajadores»: Diputada Schneider destacó aprobación de normas pro-empleo presentadas por el FA

Emilia Schneider, the head of the Frente Amplio parliamentary group, highlighted the recent approval of pro-employment measures put forth by her party, urging the government «not to take these issues to the Constitutional Court and to be part of the solutions for families.»

«As Frente Amplio, we pushed back against the government’s failure to address unemployment and successfully approved two significant proposals included in the 2027 labor budget: an increase in the unified employment subsidy and direct transfers for individuals who have been unemployed for six months or longer,» stated the legislator.

«This proves that it is possible to build a majority to defend workers who are currently struggling. And who is being left behind? The far-right extremists following Kast and Quiroz. We call on them to stop being part of the problem and start being part of the solution,» added Schneider.

At this point, she criticized the Kast administration’s decision to take these measures to the Constitutional Court.

«I insist, stop being part of the problem and join the solution. There are proposals and solutions available. The far-right’s approaches have failed and have led us to the current situation. Listen up. This is not about a fight between the government and the opposition; it’s about Chileans who are currently struggling to find work,» the Frente Amplio parliamentarian emphasized.
