Four Bills With Disastrous Consequences

Four bills rest on President Laurentino Cortizo’s desk, the sanction of which would have disastrous consequences for the country.

There is, for example, the one that would allow the re-election of the controversial rector of the Autonomous University of Chiriquí, Etelvina Medianero de Bonagas, whose muscle among the deputies has been in evidence.

In addition, the project that modifies the rules for the revocation of the mandate of the deputies awaits sanction –or presidential veto–. If sanctioned, they would not be exposed to losing their seats for taking, as a bench, decisions other than the guidelines of their respective party. In other words, the process that Democratic Change follows 15 of its deputies would, theoretically, be without effect. With this decision, Cortizo, at a stroke of the pen, would make another suit tailored to the political interests of those who from the Legislature allow him to govern.

All this without counting the project that modifies the structures of the patronages that serve health entities and the one that has to do with the nationalization of the historian career. How long will the president allow the political whims of co-partisans and allies to hijack the country’s interests? If he expects that we have forgotten the consequences of him when he signs these bills, he is sorely mistaken – LA PRENSA, Mar. 30.
