July 29, 2008

Security, education, employment, housing, economics and health, are demands that citizens have become "crabs" legal in the National Assembly (AN), where discussions are considered "historic" but without results. Without being sanctioned, these matters go to the Plenary of the drawers of deputies, where they are booked as "strategic" in bids to be made for the sovereign, when their exacerbate problems associated with some of the key areas. Then, the conflict is controlled by any presidential mission and supply-law again saved for another chapter similar to those that have been repeated by nearly 10 years. This is the scenario that describe some parliamentarians who are declared "revolutionary critical" but avoided comment publicly on the matter for fear of reprisals by those who assume the role of "ruler" in the "process", according to admit. Among those mentioned there are coincidences to design the ranking of the laws "crabs" that appear and disappear in the legislative agenda as if by magic. There are many-say-but the winners, for having more than five years sleeping in the Federal Legislative Palace, were the Fundamental Law on Education, Civic Participation, Reform of the General Banking Law, Reform Act of Insurance and Reinsurance Companies , Law on Social Monitoring Act, credit and debit cards, Border Reform Labour Organization Act, Regime Budgetary and Public Credit, Organic Law of the Armed Forces, Social Security Act of the Armed Forces, Anti-Terror Law and the Law Public Prosecutions.

Among the highlights of those voices ex vicepresidente of the NA deputy and we, Ricardo Gutierrez, who liable to President Hugo Chávez and the authorities of Psuv, having turned the Legislature into "a pool of seals", where in his view, what All that does is to be applauded agreements with other countries, while denying what it deserves by law to Venezuelans. Gutierrez argued that Parliament "ceased to hold office because he left his powers as a sovereign power." Considers that the Legislative Palace keeps its doors open "with minimal decency." He cites as an example, the first oath and commitment made by President Chavez was the country with social security and no law more importantly, after the Constitution, the Organic Law of Comprehensive Social Security, which carries six years in his adopted macro way, but have not realized their subsystems. "This law has had to be accompanied by a comprehensive reform of the Labour Act to define the subsystems of pensions and retirement, health, housing, recreation and forced unemployment. It involves 100% of Venezuelans, but we have not approved . We can pass all the laws you want, but if we do not pass that we will not have met not only with a constitutional mandate, but with a fundamental requirement of society, "said Gutierrez. It is so essential to complete the projects of social security, "said the deputy, that its adoption would render the social effect created by President Chavez. It warns that when leaving the oil bonanza, pensioners and retirees of the country will remain "looking pa" Carora, because there will be no silver. "Parliamentary We recognize that the Chavez government has increased by about 1,500 bolivars strong pensions and retirements . However, explained that the absence approved a fund with contributions from workers, employers and the state, are cancelling resources of the national budget depends on oil. "A social welfare system maintained by the State is only a big lie and demagogy that only works in a situation like the one we have oil, which will never be permanent, "he pointed. ports enabling On 10 this month, the commission coordinator of the NA approved a legislative agenda, containing 33 projects, which many have also figured in the work papers of deputies from more than five years ago. They were classified according to the priorities of the parliamentary committees and in tune with the urgent demands of the country, according assured the president of Parliament, Cilia Flowers. In the list presented, listed first projects related to the administration of justice and public safety, such as Justice System Act, the Penal Code Reform, an agency of the Supreme Court, codes of ethics of the Judge and Judge Venezuelan Reform of the Organic Law of Public Prosecutions and the Reform of Criminal Procedure Code organist, the latter enacted in May 2008. Announcing this agenda, the deputy Flowers not ruled out calling special sessions after the August 15, to accelerate the outstanding work and analyse the materials that are of the Enabling Act in force until August 1. He also took the opportunity to clarify that the Executive has not submitted any request to approve a new Enabling or extend the current one. "After that date (August 1) at best many laws will be taken over again by the committees dealing with the matter, then we must redouble our work at the level of standing committees ", he said. priorities in limbo The first vice president of the Legislative Council, Deputy Saul Ortega, warned that the Enabling is in the hands of the executive, who "still has time to close with some laws that we do not know what." In that sense, legislators will have to wait until August 1 to 12 at night to sit around of the Coordinating Bureau of the commission in order to define priorities legal for the second regular session 2008, coinciding with the start of the election campaign for the elections of governors and mayors, career in which he already scored many parliamentarians Either as candidates, campaign managers or leaders of battalions to be active in favor of candidates of Psuv. Ortega believes that the NA will have to adjust his work schedule when cease powers enabling Chavez. "Until we completed the period enabling nobody can say what was pending. On the last day the Executive may decree a number of laws and we should be sorcerers to guess what. We have to wait ", he said. Meanwhile, the head of the parliamentary Psuv, Mario Isea, admits that the establishment of legislative priorities depends on the cessation of Enabling because not all projects are defined that President Chavez can become decree-laws. However, ensures that the NA, somehow, is responding to the demands citizens with responsibility and without crabs in the middle. "We are working, we are already making laws, for example, security and justice is being reformed Organo the Code of Criminal Procedure and other instruments that are priorities. In addition, there are projects that are not on that agenda and propose, such as the reform of the Consumer Protection Law, to prevent speculative practices which are not justified, "said Isea. The last ordinary session of Parliament during the first half of the year will be held on August 14 and was raised by the extra work of deputies. Although the path is uncertain regarding the country's priorities to be discussed in the coming months, it's easy to predict, according to past experiences, in time the electoral campaign comes first.
