Then Piñera presented himself as a candidate for senator for Santiago on a list with a real conservative, [[Hermógenes Pérez de Arce]], and he had the opportunity to get to know him well and be completely frightened. [[Jaime Guzmán]] told Hermógenes: "You have to beat him, because he is pernicious and in the Senate he will be fatal for Pinochet and the Junta". Piñera won and was pernicious. On one occasion he contributed the decisive vote to remove a Supreme Court minister, constitutionally accused by the left for applying the amnesty, a law in force. He wanted to hide the black ballot when voting, but his fingers were too short and it came out in the photo.

Piñera believed that raising taxes gave him votes and was useful to do good business, as when he bought the LAN Airlines shares held by CORFO, under Aylwin's government, during the "policy of agreements". In exchange for the facilities that allowed him to buy, although officially he said he did it to "legitimize the model", he supported with the votes of the party National Renewal, Aylwin's tax reform that took the corporate tax from the 10 % to which the Military Government had lowered it (and the GDP growing at double digits in 1989 under Minister Büchi's leadership) to 15 % in 1991.

At that time Piñera was a senator, but he appeared in the newspaper as chairman of the board of directors of ''Editorial Los Andes'', a corporation, despite the fact that Article 57 of the Constitution stated that the parliamentarian who "accepts to be a director of a corporation" shall cease to hold office. But Sebastián has never cared nor has the Constitution or the laws been applied to him (if he had not been charged here today, as he is in Argentina).<ref>"La Nación", [[Buenos Aires]], 29.12.16</ref>
