The executive director of civilian watchdog group "Participacion Ciudadana" - Citizen Participation or PC - said yesterday that the second phase of the Summit for National Unity in the Face of the World Economic Crisis would not be successful unless the government complies with the agreements reached during the first phase. Javier Cabreja said that the government has not fulfilled the recommendations of the first phase of the Summit nor has it said which proposals it would start with. Some 440 proposals were considered to have been agreed upon.
The PC spokesperson said that with many of its practices and actions, the government sends signals that are contrary to the results of the Summit. He pointed out that the state should be austere in its spending in the midst of the international financial crisis. Cabreja said that that the seminar participants had insisted that the government should prioritize its spending, especially on health and education, and this has not happened. He pointed out that the Fernandez administration only justifies its employees' supernumerary payrolls. The PC executive director said that the government is not sending the right signals needed to meet the proposals.
