PRSC deputy booed for suggestion

[NewsWhore]

Because he defended the institutionalism and rejected the intention of many of his colleagues to extend the legislative period of the current members of Congress by two years within the framework of the Constitutional Reform, the Reformist deputy Frank Martinez was roundly booed in the middle of the session that approved constitutional reform. The greatest boos came from the PLD deputies. And this is because there is a document going around Congress that has been signed by more than 90 deputies, the majority of them from the government's PLD party. They favor extending the current congressional period by two years, until 1212. This would unify presidential and congressional elections. During his intervention, Martinez warned that he would fight against the extension of the period, because this would mean a subversion of the institutional order. The booing came spontaneously, which provoked the PLD deputy Isabel Bonilla to take a turn to clear up the situation. She affirmed that the official position of the PLD was against the intention, if it were to exist, of prolonging for two more years the current legislative period of the senators and deputies, and she insisted in clarifying the situation because, according to what she said, the PLD does not have the need to appeal to this mechanism that would go against the democratic process.
