Monsignor Agripino Nunez Collado was at the Presidential Palace yesterday to introduce President Leonel Fernandez, a strong advocate of constitutional reform, to Argentinian Daniel Zovatto, senior executive of the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA) for Latin America. President Fernandez's ruling party won majority in Congress and could tailor the constitution to its own needs, as other parties have done in the past.
Interviewed after his conversation with the President, reporters asked Zovatto his opinion on the proposed constitutional reform. He replied: If all that is going to be done is to put a few 'patches' on it, this would be 'a big fraud.' " He emphasized that the country can not afford any more patches on the document and that it needed to follow the guidelines that the President has set forth in the sense that the nation needed a document "made to order."
The IDEA supports open debate to allow different views to be heard and accommodated in order that the constitution provide the best foundations for the future.
