The objective of the initiative will be the mandatory presentation of the health certificate for participation in massive events, whether public or private, to process entry into the country, as well as other activities that are considered important by the health portfolio.
Ramírez asks people to get vaccinated, since Covid-19 is the main cause of death in the country every year.
He noted that he did not introduce the law to please everyone, but rather to make it a useful tool for the entire country. And above all, not to impede the growth of the national economy.
Regarding the information, which anti-vaccine groups plan to reside in the country due to low controls, he said he disagrees.
“We cannot be a vaccine shelter,” he said.
DEBATE
There is a debate on the possible unconstitutionality of the project presented by Ramírez. The same legislator affirms that it seeks to protect a first-line right, of constitutional rank, such as health.
“The National Constitution, in its articles 68 and 69, declares said protection and the promotion of the right to health as fundamental, providing the conditions within a National Health System, resources, plans and policies integrated into social development” reads part of the Bill in the explanatory memorandum.
STIGARRIBIA
Hugo Estigarribia, a constitutional lawyer, expressed in this regard that all the inhabitants of the Republic are equal before the law, and what the constitution does not discriminate is unconstitutional.
“Article 46 of the National Constitution deals with equality before the law. On the other hand, there are the rights to health and life that may be important to consider ”, he explained.
He urged a thorough study of the issue, bearing in mind that foreign immigrants are arriving since there are not many restrictions on non-vaccinated people in the country.
“These people can collapse the health system. It all depends on the glass you look at it with. I particularly do not agree with any type of vaccine. If it is a type of consideration with others, vaccinate yourself to avoid serious consequences for others, “he said.
AGAINST
One of the first legislators who has already been against the project is Walter Harms. The Colorado deputy affirmed that he will anticipate his resounding disagreement and his vote for rejection.
“It goes against constitutional rights, and quarrels with all logic in these moments that we live,” he questioned.
