The Constitutional Revisory Assembly that is studying the expanded Constitution proposal sent by President Leonel Fernandez to Congress has approved six more articles, including articles that protect the privacy of bank information. Committee members also approved an article that grants journalists protection for their confidential sources. The approved articles included 54, 55, 57, 58, 59 and 60. Members discussed Article 54, on the right to physical education, of which numerals 2 and 3 were approved. The first numeral of Article 54 will be reviewed during a second reading at a later time. Article 55 was also approved with a slight modification to the wording of the article that now establishes the right of public administration for Collective and Environmental rights. The wording for Article 59, on citizens' rights to go before a judge if they feel threatened, was changed slightly.
