Since the election of the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies, Jerges Mercado, former president of this legislative body had disappeared from the mediaignored the election of Omar Yujra as president of the deputies and this Tuesday he launched into criticizing President Luis Arce for his comment on the food crisis and the “changes.”
“Prejudices cannot be above rationality and that is why I have made a clear sign of my displeasure when he accuses the ‘cambas’ “and to the people of Santa Cruz and to any Bolivian in general (the President) has to be specific, who are the ones who are causing this problem and bring the full weight of the law to bear on whoever is committing this, but we cannot generalize to any department.” , launched the deputy from Santa Cruz.
Since the formation of the chamber leadership Mercado made his difference and ignored Yujra. After these rudenesses, his presence was reduced to a member on the Autonomies committee, what is known in parliament as ‘hall deputy’, which is one that does not have any commission or committee and only appears as a member.
But not only the Head of State, He also reappeared to demand the installation of plenary sessions and the treatment of two issues, the seats bill and the General State Budget (PGE) 2025, which from their perspective could harm their region.
“He The first issue that worries us is that the law for the redistribution of seats has not yet been approved as appropriate, in application of the population and housing census carried out last March. I want to ask the presidency of the House to act responsibly“Mercado demanded.
His internal friction began when he proclaimed himself a candidate to preside over the Chamber of Deputies, but He faced four candidates from other regions who today occupy all the positions of the board and only he did not enter any instance.
This Tuesday the meeting of the entire Arcist bench was to be held and the agenda contemplated the treatment of the PGE mainly in accordance with the version of the president of the Planning Commission, Andrés Flores (MAS-arcist wing), who said that they concluded their work.
