The consultative commission that the Executive Power created the day before yesterday to work on the elaboration of a draft in order to modify Law 6132, on the Expression and Diffusion of Thought, has not gone down well with the National Congress.
The aforementioned is based on the fact that opposition deputies accuse the president of wanting to divert attention from initiatives that are a priority for the country and have not been approved. The congressmen denounce that in the National Congress there are bills that have more time without calling the interest of the Executive Power.
From the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD), the deputy Mercedes Rodríguez spoke about it; and Tobías Crespo reacted from the People’s Force (FP).
“It seems that things are getting out of hand for the President and he wants to have issues on the table to divert attention from what is really happening,” Rodríguez said.
He advanced that there are other projects in Congress that should be taken into account. “After all, we are the legislators, the makers, the ones who try to reach a consensus with society on any project that comes here; because in the end we either approve or disapprove of it,” he commented.
Tobías Crespo indicated that the Executive Branch creates too many conflicts and problems, and its officials “lay many eggs.” He assured that the creation of the commission is because the President saw that it had lost the battle. “Create a commission, you know that here when commissions are created, it is so that the issue is diluted, because they lost that battle,” he stressed.
In this sense, he explained that the government has been trying for a long time to create prior censorship of the media, the opposition and everyone who gives their opinion on the networks, “which were elements and media that that government and that party used when they were opposition and that they are now trying to silence.
The commission that created the Executive Power has three months to present the draft.
