The project promoted by Cabildo Abierto will be voted on today in the Chamber of Deputies, after a long discussion in the coalition.
The deputies of the ruling coalition They were up until the wee hours of Tuesday discussing the last points of the bill of co-responsibility in parenting to reach an agreement for the vote this Wednesday, the approval of this law being one of the “bargaining coins” of Town meeting to vote in favor of the draft social security reform.
Favors come and go within the coalition that was in turmoil this past week with the approval of the changes to the Cabildo Abierto by the Executive and the subsequent disclosure of the Colorado party that he felt excluded from the decision and chose to make new changes that were also accepted by the president Luis Lacalle Pou.
One of the “bargaining coins” by the Cabildo Abierto was the approval of the shared ownership law or co-responsibility in parenting law, which is why the coalition had to agree to move forward with the vote in Deputies that will have place this Wednesday. The detractors were in the ranks of the Colorado Party, in the Citizens sector, who had announced their refusal to approve the project under the current conditions, and were looking for new modifications to the text that was approved in commission as it came down from the Senate.
To reach an agreement, it was added to the project to include in the Penal Code an article that provides an aggravating circumstance for the crimes of simulation of crimes and slander against false allegations. Added to this was the possibility for the judge to take into account parents who have criminal complaints concrete and that pose a risk to the child. On the other hand, it improved the wordingleaving a clearer version of the project that came from the Senate.
To be approved, the project needs a simple majority of the Low camera to be approved, that is, 50 votes in case the 99 deputies are in the room, of which the coalition has 56.
