PLN is violating procedures
• New "methodology" is an affront to the legislative procedure.
• President desperate to open discussion of NAFTA by the fund violating legislative procedures. • Francisco Antonio Pacheco
architect of the coup to democracy and the parliamentary debate.
The desperation to stem the collapse of NAFTA led to the President of the International Affairs Committee Jeanina Del Vecchio to violate the legislative process and the rights of the deputies and filed a motion to force a vote on the FTA before 12 December term was known beforehand that it was illogical and involved a clear breach of the legislative process.
"The motion tramples the democratic principle to going into the discussion of the merits of NAFTA has not come at the appropriate stage of the legislative process. Del Vecchio improvised session for discussion by the fund on Wednesday after the plenary, on Friday from 8:45 am and Monday, December 11th from 8:45 in the morning and also after the plenary, with respect to simulate such a procedure is only apparent: it is a hoax. "
At this stage of the procedure have been discussed only 55 points of which 6 have been members of the Legislature's previous ruling party. The abuses of the President and government pressures have prevented the debate and analysis.
"The PLN aims to deceive the Costa Ricans, 49 motions are equivalent on average to 7 motions per game and less of a motion by MP (0.89%). It's a lack of seriousness and that most Members have not made any comment in a project that involves the disappearance of the partnership model of development, "said the head of Elizabeth Fonseca fraction.
"invalidate the proceedings by saying that they will begin a discussion on the merits in three days against the clock. Promote the absurdity of going one step forward and two steps back: start the discussion by the fund and return the last day, determined by them, to see motions. Drive the discussion by the fund without knowing what will be the fund and that has not exhausted the processing of motions, "said deputy Alberto Salom fraction.
"This desperate resolve of the President shows that the National Liberation knows she violated the legislative process and now seek to amend on the road, but making other arbitrary, other abuses the process and the rights of the members" emphasized Ronald Solis.
The provision of the Commission is illegal, violates the right of amendment and participation of the deputies and the parliamentary minority rights, because instead of using the extra time available to hear the pending motions already submitted, some for several weeks, interrupted the process to conceal the arbitrariness of the earlier decision of the Chairman, Francisco Antonio Pacheco, who set December 12 as last date for voting of the bill in the Committee. The draft FTA contains 21 chapters, 2560 pages and approximately 9000 pages of attachments. Members compare
arbitrariness committed by Rep. Del Vecchio to put the cart before the horse: "We know that business groups and multinational pro-CAFTA are lobbying the government. But this is no justification for deceiving the public, the CAP is not complicit in this lie and this absurd, "said Ronald Solis.
