All of Villarruel’s responses took place in the post that the vice president uploaded to Instagram in which she announced two days ago that signed a decree to freeze senators’ allowances until March 31to prevent them from reaching the $9.5 million. “The senators pay for their food, they travel to their provinces, I don’t know if they have another ticket. I don’t have the time for anything and on top of that the State doesn’t authorize me to win a decent salary for my role”.
The fight over the freezing of salaries
After pressure from the nation, Villarruel issued a decree in which the freezing of allowances for members of the Upper House was postponed. If the measure was not applied, they began to receive salaries close to the $9.5 million monthly in the rough.
The last update of the salary system for senators was carried out in a vote without debate in April. From there, and given the module scheme to which the allowances are subject, the income of the Senate legislators exceeded the $7 million.
