Yesterday there was an emotional day in the Senate, since a tribute was made to the 15 parliamentarians who leave their functions this Friday, March 11.
Each of them had a farewell speech, highlighting the deeds they did during their years as parliamentarians. In addition, they also thanked their families, voters, work teams, and congressional officials.
The 15 senators who are leaving Parliament agreed that dialogue is important to reach the agreements that the country needs.
