Directors of the Foundation for Institutionalism and Justice (Finjus) and the Young Entrepreneurs Association (Anje) urged legislators to get to work on priority projects. The observation is made as the pre-electoral year concentrates much of the attention of the legislators on more specific political issues, rather than national matters.
The civic society spokespeople called for attention to the passing of the Penal Code, Electoral Regime Bill, Land Use Bill, Public-Private Alliances Bill, among others.
The president of Anje, Guillermo Julián stressed the importance of legislators moving on the Public-Private Alliances Bill that he says would have a positive effect on job creation. The vice president of Finjus, Servio Tulio Castaños pressed legislators to work on the Penal Code that would include new rulings to punish crimes that are not covered in the old legislation.
The heads of both organizations were received by the president of the Chamber of Deputies Radhames Camacho who told them he is waiting for the branches of government to send the priority list of initiatives to prepare the work agenda for the Chamber of Deputies.
