FSLN in theater box While the FSLN impels the laws that interest to him, the ALN and the PLC followed one yesterday reyerta useless, now by the prorogation to the Law Marco, that can be approved tomorrow.       Wilfredo Navarro, of the PLC, affirms that the ALN agreed with the FSLN and “are worried” to prorogue the Law Marco. His colleague Gabriel Rivera asked for the Judicial Power that declares inconstitucionales the reforms congealed from 2005. “They do not want that the Constitution reforms not to reform the Supreme Court, the Supreme Council, the Contraloría; what they do not want is to lose its quotas to be able in those institutions, in which already to the positions and prebendas were distributed”, it talked back the deputy by ALN, Eliseo Núñez Hernandez.

In front Sandinista governor of Liberación Nacional (FSLN) announced yesterday a second package of reforms, although the opposition parties were declared alarmed and still they do not finish analyzing a first project that president Daniel sent Ortega to transform Law 290, to obtain a direct control on the Army and the Police.

The new reforms, that would change to the Law of Citizen Participation and the one of Municipalities, to equip the country of a “democracy direct” that Ortega and the FSLN have been raising for years and that in the 2005 today President called “Assemblies of Being able Citizen”, inspired by Cuba and Venezuela, according to said then to Wálmaro deputy Gutiérrez.

 

the PACKAGE “to be able popular”

Ortega for years has been clear in the subject: “To me he does not satisfy me that the power is in the parliament; I want that the power is in the town, and that settles down Assemblies of Being able Citizen in each department, which they have the real power that soon is reflected. And that the national parliament is not more than the executive of those Assemblies of Being able Citizen”, Ortega in the 2005 said.

That is what it seems to be taking form now that they have taken the power.

The executive secretary of the sandinista large stone bench in the parliament, Jose Figueroa, explained yesterday that for that in favor organization it is essential to restore a “participativa democracy”.

“ How? They must have reforms to the Law of Citizen Participation, to the Law of Municipalities, Law 290 (of Organization of the Executive authority), but in addition to consider other reforms to see how we happened of a regime of representative democracy, to participativa democracy”, said Figueroa.

The FSLN hopes to pass the prorogation to the Law Marco with the endorsement of the large stone bench of Alianza Nicaraguan Liberal (ALN), whereas the new constitutional reforms would obtain with the assumption support of the PLC, whose leader - German Arnoldo could obtain advantages in exchange for endorsing reforms to Law 290, of Organization and Competition of the Executive authority, that would offer to president ample Daniel Ortega faculties on the Army of Nicaragua and the National Police.

“The most important reform is to deepen the participation of the citizens in the decision making of the government and the State of Nicaragua, that is to say, to deepen the direct democracy of Nicaragua”, maintained Figueroa.

The reforms to legalize that “popular power” would introduce the FSLN in the middle of the negotiations that will begin if they tomorrow approve a prorogation to the Law Marco, that would congeal until the 20 of January of a 2008 series of changes to the Magna Carta which they trim attributions to the Executive authority.

A special commission issued yesterday two rulings with respect to the prorogation to the Law Marco. The one of majority approves the initiative and the one of minority, of Partido Liberal Constitucionalista (PLC), rejects it.

TALAVERA IMPELS COMPONENT

Parallel to the sandinista announcement, Rescuing deputy Talavera, ally of the Sandinista Front, introduced an initiative to summon a Constituent Assembly, that would change all the rules of the political game in Nicaragua.

In political circles one comments that the FSLN will look for, taking advantage of the Component, the approval of the direct presidential re-election, to benefit Ortega.

The sandinistas also would be consenting to a Constituent Assembly, to prolong the mandate of Ortega, as Hugo Chavez in Venezuela did, of whom the Nicaraguan President considers their “binocular”.

“ So that to follow to him putting more patches the Constitution? Let us summon to a Component and that in two years we say which are the rules of the game”, showed Talavera yesterday.

The ALN rejected the proposal of Talavera, the PLC said not to feel “fear” to that challenge, whereas the FSLN maintains that that “will be discussed at its moment”.

 

DANGER

Although the ALN and the PLC already have announced the reforms which they interest to them, between that it appears to elevate to 50 percents plus a vote the percentage to gain an election in first return, and to prohibit the successive re-election; governor FSLN still maintains under the sleeve all the constitutional changes that she persecutes.

The deputy of Sandinista the Renovador Movement (MRS), Mónica Baltodano, considers that she is not due “to play” new reforms with the FSLN and the PLC.

MRS is against to prorogue the Law Marco and to enter a process of negotiation of new reforms the Magna Carta, in special with the rumor that the FSLN aspires to approve for Ortega the immediate presidential re-election.

“He is most dangerous, are many civil employees of them (FSLN) who are speaking of which the successive re-election is good, that in only a period the things cannot be done. What indicates that to you? That they are looking for the re-election of Ortega and that is jodido for this country”, indicated Baltodano.

The FSLN and the PLC, that maintain a pact from 1999, add 63 votes in the parliament, which stops Baltodano represents an imminent danger.

“To be pushing, with the present correlation of the parliament, constitutional reforms or a Component, it is the dangerous play, because they (FSLN and PLC) have the majority”, she indicated Baltodano.

END OF THE ICEBERG

The deputy of the PLC, Wilfredo Navarro, recognized yesterday that the reform that Ortega proposed to Law 290 is hardly like the end of iceberg.

“They have a series of edges that are like the end of iceberg, which they have not demonstrated the depth of the reforms”, it admitted Navarrese.
