SANTIAGO.- After the controversy caused within the Concertación following the visit realized by the minister of Interior, Edmundo Pérez Yoma, and the minister of Finance, Andrés Velasco, to the home of National Renovation party member Sebastián Piñera, the spokesperson for La Moneda, Francisco Vidal, opted not to dramatize the implications of the meeting, which resulted in an agreement to support the approval of a plan to invest more resources into the Fuel Stabilization Fund.
