Opposition party PRD member Ramon Alburquerque is warning his party's legislators that if they vote in favor of the announced fiscal reform they will be immediately removed from the party. This decision was made unanimously by the party leadership, and comes only days after PLD member and Interior and Police Minister Franklyn Almeyda announced that any PLD member who votes against the motion would be severely sanctioned by the party. Alburquerque is quoted as saying that it's been demonstrated that the reform is not necessary, that the government doesn't need to carry this out, and that it will mostly affect the middle and lower classes and the production sector.
