00:00This Tuesday, a group of 26 progressive mayors from the Chilean metropolitan area
00:04expressed their concern over rising fuel prices.
00:07Local leaders warned that these increases directly impact the cost of municipal services
00:11such as transportation, garbage collection, and the maintenance of public spaces,
00:15particularly affecting the most vulnerable families.
00:17In a letter sent to President José Antonio Kass,
00:20they noted that some government measures, such as tax cuts for higher-income sectors,
00:24do not address the current crisis.
00:25Therefore, they propose suspending tax cuts, strengthening the fuel stabilization mechanism,
00:30supporting public transportation, and compensating municipalities for their operating expenses.
