The movement will begin giving daily information to the citizens in search of a popular victory.

The Communist Party, the Socialist Party and other movements currently support the plebiscite, but their positions do not have a decisive majority.

According to the National Party candidate, Álvaro Delgado, if the plebiscite is successful, taxes will have to be raised, particularly the Value Added Tax, while other government critics speak of a strong impact on the Gross Domestic Product.

The PIT-CNT has studies at hand which affirm the sustainability of improving workers retirement and conditions, and promises to fight for a Yes.

The plebiscite will occur on October 27th, at the same time as the national elections for the Presidency of the Republic and the renewal of Parliament.
