SPEAKERS
Desirée Masi, national senator for the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP), said that the project was signed by Buzarquis, Rasmussen, Querey, Santacruz, Apuril, Aquino, Esperanza Martínez and Masi herself.
“This project is the same one that was discussed in the Chamber of Deputies. I spoke with some of the drafting deputies and I thank them. We already approved at the time without discussion. It is to include in the restrictive list of Obliged Subjects (SO), article 13 of the Seprelad law, where financial banks and more are located, ”he explained.
Masi explained that if the bill is rejected again in the Chamber of Deputies, the Senate only needs 23 votes to ratify its version.
Salyn Buzarquis, national senator for the PLRA, stressed that soccer works like a great laundry in our country and in the region.
“It strikes me that projects like these are rejected in the Chamber of Deputies because there are many employees of the Tabesa group. People from the Colorado Party and people who claim to be from the Liberal Party. They charge monthly bonuses. This was naturalized and the Prosecutor’s Office never investigated these facts, ”she questioned.
