Chile's Senate passes pension bill. The beginning of the end to a flagship policy that built a capitals market, boosted savings, buttressed the peso, but never did what it was meant to -- pay decent pensions.

Chile's pension bill gets final congressional approval with a two thirds majority in the Chamber of Deputies, well above the 3/5s required. Now Pinera must decide whether to promulgate a bill he bitterly opposed.

Pinera says he will sign the pension bill tomorrow `given the difficult economic and social situation many families are going through'. Is that an attempt to own it?

Chile is easing the quarantine in the `barrio alto' of Santiago. I understand the logic, but how will that go down in the rest of the city?

Pinera puts UDI in charge of the Interior Ministry as he tries to reimpose order on the ruling coalition and as the country braces for the return of anti-govt protests. Risk of this looking King Canutesque in a few months given the political tide

Without the funding, how can Chile's government hope push through social reform. Where they go from here is anyone's guess. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
