Opposition to constitutional reform

[NewsWhore]

Both the PRD and the PRSC parties have come out and said that the constitutional reforms proposed by President Fernandez should not be undertaken at the present time. The party spokespersons say that the conditions needed for educating the public about the scope of the reforms do not exist. Monsignor Agripino Nunez Collado, the coordinator of the National Dialogue also said that the constitutional reforms should wait until after the 16 August swearing in of President Fernandez' third term. PRD general secretary Orlando Jorge Mera told El Caribe reporters that his organization does not feel that the timing is right for discussing constitutional reforms. He said that there were other priorities that needed to be tackled first. Even PLD Congress members told reporters that most of the party's deputies are not in favor of a reform at this time.
