Python: selenium can't read an specific table

Question

I am trying to read and take the href for the elements from this table, but I can't I try selenium and urllib library but neither work:

driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:/Users/Public/chromedriver')
driver.get(str(link))
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
time.sleep(10)
try:
    element = WebDriverWait(driver, 50).until(
        EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "tabla_datos_linea"))
    )
    for a in driver.find_elements_by_partial_link_text('impacto'):
        print(a.text)
        
    
finally:
    driver.quit()

I exagerate in this code the conditions used to wait for the DOM to load with explicit and implicit wait, but still is not taking the table :(. The output of this code is:

Expediente de evaluación de impacto ambiental

but I want this:

Expediente de evaluación de impacto ambiental
Estudio de impacto ambiental Firmado con certificado digital acreditado

Does anyone knows if this table has some trick or something? I used selenium other times without problem. And that place is public so I don't think it has some blockers or something.

thanks before hand!

The inner table present inside an iframe and you need switch to iframe first in order to access the elements.

driver.get("https://seia.sea.gob.cl/expediente/expedientesEvaluacion.php?modo=ficha&id_expediente=2148718463")
elements=WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR,".tabla_datos_linea ul.yui-nav a")))
for element in elements[1:]:
    print(element.text)
    print(element.get_attribute("href"))

WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.ID,"miFrame")))
elementsinnertable=WebDriverWait(driver,20).until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR,".tabla_datos_linea a[href^='https://seia.sea.gob.cl/documentos/documento.php']")))
for a in elementsinnertable:
    print(a.text)
    print(a.get_attribute("href"))

Console Output:
