Constitution reform rules for debate

[NewsWhore]

The hot topics of Presidential re-election, judicial questions, elections and questions about Dominican nationality will be deferred until the latter part of the debates on the Constitution reform proposals. This was decided by the commission that is studying the rules and regulations for the debates during the Revisory Assembly. According to El Caribe, Senate president Reinaldo Pared Perez said that this decision was needed in order to speed up discussions on the changes to the Constitution. Pared Perez made the announcement after a working session of the commission held in the Senate library. He said that there were many suggested changes that would not provoke a lot of debate and that these could be dealt with fairly swiftly, allowing more time for the weighty questions that will involve a lot of discussion. Listin Diario reports that the public can watch the debates on television. Julio Cesar Valentin, the leader of the Chamber of Deputies said that all the members of the Revisory Assembly will have the right to speak and the discussions would be televised so that the population could watch the votes of each member of the assembly. Valentin added that he expected the assembly to work four days a week in order to gain time for important discussions.
