Hi! This day I want to write about the important event that happen the last weekend, that means plebiscite for the end of AFP. The AFP is the previsional system of Chile and it function is save money for your old ege, in other word, AFP look protect your money trough of a capitalist and individual system and it was funded in the militar dictatorship and created by José Miguel Piñera.
At present, the people are not very happy with the system and they started to organise. First some syndicates started to talk about the problem and, with the time, this syndicates began to reunited and finally this organization make one and emerged a new one call "Coordinadora Metropolitana No+AFP". This one have the mision to end with APFs in Chile and install a new solidary system. The last weekend they held a plebiscite to asked the chilean people about what we think abuot this topic and if we are agree of this.
The results are impressive: With a huge citizen participation, the people expressed his discontent with the old age system pension and also they think that this system steal the money from all chilean people who use the system and they consider that the money that they receive is less that the money that they save.
