The PRD senators failed to attend the session yesterday so that the necessary quorum could be met to ratify seven loan contracts pending between the Domincian state and international lending organizations. The loans totalled US$130 million, including several that will expire if they are not passed this week. Government party senator Bautista Antonio Rojas said that the PRD senators are opposing all bills that are in the best interest of the Dominican people. The loans are for public health, education, environment and energy programs.
