VALPARAÍSO.- Following the announcement of the Constitutional Tribunal concerning loans requested from the International Development Bank (IDB) and BancoEstado to finance Transantiago, the president of the Regionalist Party of Independents (PRI), Deputy Jaime Mulet, stated that he "would be in favour of  a constitutional incompliance charge if the government insists upon maintaining the transportation system as is".

Mulet called on La Moneda to "acknowledge the dysfunction of the plan and re-establish the previous network of bus routes, while continuing to make use of the current buses and pre-payment system, which is what the people of the Greater Santiago area need".

Deputy Mulet added that he sees the situation as "serious and without precedents in the democratic period, which also means that the ministers acted at the margin of the law".

Additionally, the president of the PRI emphasized that "the severity of the matter multiplies if you take into account that, while the law was being discussed, Congress announced that it would come out against the financing by means of a loan".
