Danilo Medina, Secretary of the Presidency, announced that President Leonel Fernández will send several reform bills to the Congress, despite the warning of the PRD that it will not reach a consensus with the government. Medina said that what happened in the Chamber of Deputies was the result of an internal crisis of the party and not a confrontation with the government. On Sunday, PLD and PRSC deputies supported aspirations of a dissident PRD group. The bills to be submitted to Congress include: Bill for the Promotion of Exports; General Customs Bill; Bill for Zero Tariffs for Small and Medium-sized companies; Capital Markets Bill; Consumer Markets Bill; Bill on the Ordering of the Market; Bill to Promote Free Competition; Intellectual Property and Copyright Bill; Monetary and Finance Code; Electricity Bill; General Health Bill; Social Security Bill; and a Bill to regulate the contracting of government works.
