Ten deputies, from various groups, announced a bill to postpone the entry into force of the recently enacted «Uber law», so that – at least – it is not valid until 2026.
According to him, the idea was born «thinking of the more than 100 thousand families that would lose their only source of economic income«. Given that «47.4% of app drivers would not be able to continue working once it comes into effect.»
Johannes Kaiser (REP); Mauricio Ojeda (Ind-REP); Joanna Pérez, Jorge Saffirio and Erika Olivera (Democrats); Rubén Oyarzo (PDG); Cosme Mellado (PR); Miguel Calisto (Ind exDC); Héctor Ulloa (Ind-PPD); and Juan Antonio Coloma (UDI) asked the Government to give urgency to their motion, because according to the legal deadlines, the so-called «Uber law – which affects all unregulated travel technology platforms – «should come into full force at mid-February of next year.»
The initiative is in line with the companies’ campaign, in particular Uberwho accuses that the regulations of the law have not considered their positions and will leave large areas of the country without an offer, due to the requirements it sets.
These include that cars must have a engine of at least 1,400 cc., maximum 7 years old and drivers with class A2 professional license.
