The president of the Chamber of Deputies, Hector Peguero Mendez, closed the offices of deputy Andrés Vanderhorst of the Partido Liberal La Estructura, an ally of the Partido Reformista in the 1994 congressional election. On Tuesday afternoon, the president of the Chamber also ordered the changing of the locks on the door of the office of the deputy. Vanderhorst had said yesterday that several congressmen accepted money to accelerate the passing of the telecommunications bill.
