Puig won't take back his accusation that senators, especially Ruben Cruz (PLD-Hato Mayor), president of the environmental commission, and otheres are trying to change the laws on protected lands in return for financial gains. Although Senate head Reinaldo Pared Perez warned Puig to retract his statements, the minister refused. Puig remains firm in his stance but he has not yet provided any proof to back up his accusations.
