Press coverage continues into the case of the telecommunications bill. Legal advisor to the Senate, Alberto Valenzuela de los Santos, after meeting with Angel Castillo, assistant to the Attorney General, told the press that the telecommunications bill was altered after it was sent to the office of the president of the Senate, Amable Aristy Castro. He said the articles relative to a television frequency that have caused the controversy, and provoked the presidential veto of the bill, were added by an officer whose identity he said he revealed to the Attorney General but would not disclose to the press. He said that Aristy Castro knows who is responsible. The president of the Senate met with the president of the Supreme Court of Justice, Jorge Subero Isa, at the Palacio de Justicia yesterday. Furthermore, the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Hector Peguero Méndez, said that he agrees with the recommendation of the leader of the Partido Revolucionario Dominicano, Dr. José Francisco Peña Gómez, to accept the Executive Branch veto in order to avoid a confrontation with the President’s office.
