Dr. José Francisco Peña Gómez, leader of the PRD, sent a letter to the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Hector Rafael Peguero Méndez, of the PRD, requesting that the lower house of Congress accept the observations made by the President to the telecommunications bill passed by Congress. Peña Gómez said that the controversial clauses should be removed from the bill. Peguero Méndez had announced he was calling deputies back to work Tuesday to study the observations. This is illegal as the Constitution contemplates Congress to be in recess until 27 February. The president of the Chamber of Deputies has been confronting the Executive Branch.
