The House of Representatives (Deputies) approved this Wednesday the Accountability by 52 votes in favor and 42 against out of the 92 legislators present in the chamber, after a marathon session that began at 10:00 a.m.
The Low camera dealt with the latest Accountability Report of the current government administration, presented by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) with inflation and fiscal management as main axes.
After the result was known, the group of deputies of the Broad Front (FA), said through social networks that the Multicolor Coalition He governed on the basis of “unfulfilled promises” and that “at the end of the period the results cannot be hidden.”
“This report shows that the government is leaving a country with greater inequality, poverty (especially in households with children and adolescents) and mediocre economic development,” the official statement continued.
“The economy has been stagnant for more than 20 months and we are experiencing a deep exchange rate lag. Uruguay “Today, the country is less competitive, its export capacity is diminishing, and its international economic integration is failing,” the opposition political force stated.
Following the session on Wednesday, a meeting will be held extraordinary session in order to re-treat the Media lawIt should be remembered that the project was already approved in the Senate as “serious” and “urgent”, but it was already postponed twice and, now, a third time, after what was the embarrassment of Tuesday, when it was not approved because the ruling party forgot to vote for the extension of the session schedule, forcing the president of the Chamber, Ana Oliverato lift it.
The controversies and conflicts that the media law drags on
The misunderstandings and confusion surrounding the extension of the session is not the first controversy surrounding the media law. In fact, the same session on Tuesday maintained uncertainty regarding what the legislators of the Colorado Partywho from the very beginning marked their rejection of the Article 72 added by Town meeting in the Upper House that promotes the political “impartiality” —but which most point to as a risk of censorship of media freedom of expression.
However, after several pressures generated within the coalition, especially by the councilors, the Colorados decided to give the go-ahead in the votes, but with the condition that the Executive power go away that article, a reality that is not yet confirmed.
The peculiarity of this vote is that, as it passes to the third chamber with the modifications made in the Senate, the law must be voted on as a whole.
“If we vote no, nothing will happen, and we want the media law to pass. We have just raised objections to that article. We are analyzing it with the Colorado deputy. Martin Melazziwho actively participated in the treatment of this project, was that we decided to vote for it with the conviction that the president will veto it,” said the deputy.
