Deputy Chapel (CA) is against revoking the legalization of marijuana

Diputada cabildante

The deputy Elsa Capillera (Open Council) maintained in dialogue with Diario La R that she is against revoking the legalization of marijuana, although she understands that the norm must be reviewed because the fight against drug trafficking is an objective that is not met.

Capillera is betting on an education campaign so that consumers stop resorting to marijuana and considers that in neighborhoods, consumers do not have access to the substance that is sold in pharmacies or cannabis clubs due to prices.

The following is a representation of the dialogue that Diario La R had with the national lobbyist representative.

-What do you think of the initiative of some deputies to want to revoke the legalization of marijuana?

-I do not agree with that. Yes, it is necessary to review the law that was created with a foundation and today, that foundation was left in something else.

It is assumed that the sale in pharmacies was to combat drug trafficking and that did not work. There are people who go to pharmacies, who joined cannabis clubs and that cannot be repealed from one day to the next.

I think you have to review to solve the issue.

-What problem can change everything with a new bill cause?

-The State has already invested, it exports and it cannot be cut off with everything at once.

-Are the damages of the revocation of the legalization measured?

I don’t have the magnitude, but the problem is serious.

-From the social point of view, how can it affect?

-Socially it already affects. People who consume in the neighborhoods cannot access what is sold in pharmacies, which is very expensive. Nor can they access cannabis clubs because it costs $5,000 a month to be a member.

It is necessary to solve, educating first of all and, later, to see how, if it is necessary to sell cheaper in pharmacies or more quantity, all this must be reviewed.

-Also the amount of THC?
-Not that, I’m talking about an education campaign that makes it clear that it’s bad to consume.

Government will deliver to coalition partners a draft with social security reform

The Executive Branch will deliver, in the coming days, a draft bill for the social security reform to the leaders of the multicolored coalition as the “first ring” to receive opinions and attempts to improve it, and then it will be delivered to the opposition.

This was announced by the secretary of the Presidency of the Republic, Álvaro Delgado, after appearing in Parliament, in the framework of the analysis of Accountability.

“Many articles have to do with efficiency and savings. And a very important one is a historic agreement with the Congress of Mayors to improve the distribution of funds,” said Delgado.

Prosecutor shelved Chinese ship case

The 7th Shift Flagrant Prosecutor Silvia Naupp decided to file the case for alleged illegal fishing and possible contempt filed by the National Navy against a Chinese-flagged fishing vessel, reported the spokesman for the Prosecutor’s Office Javier Benech. To reach such a conclusion, the Prosecutor took into account two fundamental arguments: the first is the report of the National Directorate of Aquatic Resources (Dinara), the competent body in these matters, which establishes that “it cannot be concluded that there was illegal fishing in Uruguayan territorial waters. On the other hand, the prosecutor understands that a contempt was not set up because there were communication problems derived from the language between the Chinese ship and the Navy ship and that involved the coordination of the visit. Although the first control was carried out the following day, the Chinese ship that is leaving is heading for the port of Montevideo, she added. Based on these two elements, the Prosecutor concludes that there is no merit for a criminal charge and files the case from the criminal point of view.
