Well folks, it looks like they were able to reach an "agreement" with the extension.
Money talks. Can't say I'm all that surprised.
The deputies approve extension of state of emergency for 12 days
The Chamber of Deputies approved this afternoon the extension of the state of emergency for a period of 12 days, making a modification to the request made by the President of the Republic, Danilo Medina.
The approval came after an agreement between the legislators, since since yesterday there was a block in the possible approval due to the denial of the opposition deputies to extend the state of emergency.
"We will accept. Gustavo Sánchez's approach is not happy. We have received calls from different sectors, and in communication from our parties, and the truth is that we could have faced this situation differently, ”said PRM spokesman Alfredo Pacheco.
The petition must now go to the Senate of the Republic, again, which had already approved the state of emergency for 25 days.
Senators must meet as quickly as possible since the state of emergency expires on Monday, June 1.
Today's session, number 9 of the deputies, finally found the approval of the state of emergency, after yesterday it was not possible to hold a session due to the impossibility of approving the day's work order.
Today the meeting started around 11:30 in the morning, even though it had been called for 10:00 in the morning. Once the work began, the political opposition asked for a turn to call an intermediate room, about a fifteen minute break to meet and decide what they would approve.
"This legislative political impasse that we have experienced today ... it is inconsistent that on the one hand the economy opens up and on the other hand we are experiencing a fourth exception to the state of national emergency," said Henry Merán, spokesman for the Force. from town.
Merán said that today the game was blocked in the Chamber of Deputies. "Today we reached an agreement ... next time there is no way to reach it, we will not accept it, because there will be no next," he said.
He warned that the draft supplemental budget is where they will "speak English" with the government to explain many items.
