Congressional spokesmen say that non-governmental organizations, universities and citizens in general will have 15 days to present observations to the bi-chamber congressional commission that has been entrusted with drafting the revised Constitution that would be submitted to the vote of senators and deputies. President Leonel Fernandez last month submitted his proposal for constitutional reform whereby numerous articles would be modified and the number of articles increased from 120 to 254. The congressional commission would meet on Wednesdays at 4pm and Thursdays at 10am to review the proposed changes.
