No "pau pau" for the president of the Senate

Colorful-speaker, president of the Senate, Ramón Alburquerque (PRD-Monte Plata) had a curt response to warnings by PRD party president Hatuey de Camps regarding the constitutional reform. He said the Congress would not accept anyone who wants to give "pau pau" (a spanking) to the legislators. Listín Diario reports that De Camps said that the constitutional reform could annul the Congress and conspire against the President. De Camps has said the constitutional reform will die in the Chamber of Deputies. The Senate, despite strong national opposition, recently passed it.
