Independent lawmaker derides president’s report

“Unfortunately, the president has not failed to always leave a lot to say and a lot to hope for”, said the independent deputy Juan Diego Vásquez reacting to the report to the nation, made by President Cortizo, on Monday, January 2, during the installation of a new legislative period.

He sees with concern that there was no mention of any kind of education in terms of quality and the service it provides to the state, which has been frowned upon both outside and inside the country.

“There were also no specific mentions in relation to corruption, about the mining contract, there was no clear establishment of what the plans to follow in the negotiation are, real mentions “beyond an incredible count of the national hydrography of the rivers”.

“He says that this is a report and that when he goes to the districts and corregimientos people treat him well, it must be the people who have a slate, his fellow supporters and his deputies,” he emphasized.

He also cataloged Cortizo as “convenient, comfortable, and irresponsible”, when he referred to the issue of the Social Security Fund, of which he said he respected its autonomy, however, when he spoke of CSS works, he  acts as if he were bidding for them, like “I take the good, but I ignore the bad.”

Vásquez stated that the president has left a lot to say, but he is the leader of the country, with a report in which he does not propose what the future of the country should be, does not establish a course, a path that can be expected, what he is going to do to make the country better. “Without direction and without a plan we are not going to get ahead
