Cardinal Nicolas Lopez Rodriguez has said that many of the lawmakers who the public elects to Congress should be in jail. According to Listin Diario, he favors the implementation of a system whereby people who are going to represent the electorate in Congress should be chosen for their capacity, dedication, and will to serve. But that is not the case and many should be in jail instead of Congress, according to the leader of the Catholic Church. He is also against letting people who are pending trials in court to be accepted as candidates for congressional and municipal positions. He said that a party – no matter which – that allows this to happen is irresponsible and the people should know that.
