Senators and FP deputies will not approve fourth request to extend state of emergency
The block of deputies and senators of the People's Force (FP) will not approve in the National Congress the fourth request for a state of emergency that the Government requests again, considering that said request is incoherent, inconsistent and contradictory with the applied provisions of the reopening of the economy in the country.
This was reported by Henry Merán, secretary of Legislative Affairs of FP, who stated that the party's legislative blocs base their position on the one hand that the Government is executing a plan for the "gradual" opening of the economy and on the other request a fourth extension of the state of emergency term.
"The government, in applying the plan to reopen the economy, has in practice caused more than 70% of citizens to return to their usual and daily tasks, including the main productive sectors, which is why keeping the state of emergency in force it loses all reason and sanitary sense, because it would only lead to restricting fundamental rights, ”said Merán on behalf of the senators and deputies of Fuerza del Pueblo.
He said that the Government has ignored all the recommendations and suggestions made by the People's Force to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country.
Merán reported that for these purposes a resolution was presented in the National Congress that requires the immediate and effective response to the health crisis that the country is experiencing, the minimum application of 5,000 tests a day, attention to the most vulnerable, social protocol before the covid -19, as well as the requirement of transparency for purchases of state goods and services.
"The Government has given inefficient and late management of the health crisis, in addition to having a whimsical and manipulated management of the official statistics of the covid-19, in order to continue to indiscriminately administer State resources while prolonging the crisis with electoral political ends ”, argued the secretary of Legislative Affairs of FP.
Finally, he stated that "as legislative blocks we understand that it is inappropriate to continue with the current state of National emergency in the country, with a Government that only uses it to seek particular political advantages and benefits, behind the interest and health of the Dominican people" .
