The secretary of Ortega     President Daniel Ortega Saavedra named to Mohamed Mohamed Lashtar, like his Secretary Deprived, according to Presidential Agreement 13-2007, published in the Newspaper number seven of the 10 of January of 2007. According to Presidential Agreement 12-2007, the Secretary of Finances of the FSLN, Francisco Lopez (Hundredth), President Ejecutivo of the Nicaraguan Company of Petroleum was named (Petronic).

The sandinista agent chief executive Daniel Ortega, who initiated his management ten of January the past, seems interested in diminishing attributions to the ministries of State and until a the National Assembly, through the reform to Law 290, of organization of the State, and by means of other changes that will propose to the laws of Citizen Participation and the one of Municipalities, he maintained deputy Wilfredo Navarro yesterday.

With the changes to the Law of Citizen Participation and the Law of Municipalities, Ortega tries to implement a system of “participativa democracy”, said to Tuesday the sandinista deputy Jose Figueroa; and through the changes to Law 290, the President looks for to have the faculty to create - by means of decrees secretariats and advice whose powers have still not been defined, he added Navarrese, legislating by Partido Liberal Constitucionalista (PLC).

“That calls the attention to Us and we want to avoid that these advice multiply the state bureaucracy, or that these advice replace the functions of the ministries, and we are going to close the doors saying that to these advice never they will be able to delegate to it them the functions of the ministries of State”, indicated Navarrese.

The reform to Law 290 could on a commission basis be discussed of urgency tomorrow Friday, as it loves the government to it, or to be sent, as they prefer some deputies.

“It is necessary to make pressure on the definitions of these advice, so that it is not tried with them to replace the task of the ministries and in certain form of the National Assembly”, it added Navarrese.

The presidential adviser for economic subjects and of finances, Bayardo Maple, maintained yesterday that the advice will replace the different secretariats and will have between their functions the coordination of the institutions of the State, but accepted that still their faculties are not delimited all.

“In the faculties of the President, besides to create secretariats, that will only be two, the Technique and the one of the Presidency, that eminently becomes administrative, these (secretariats) will be replaced by advice, those that will be instances of interinstitutional coordination, consultation with the civil society and participation; inclusively we are going to take advantage of to send some adjustments to define the paper of the advice”, explained Maple.

to be approved the governmental proposal of reform to Law 290, president Ortega will have the faculty to approve secretariats and advice without needing the endorsement of the parliament.

“(For) the creation of the advice must have a definition of that, from the perspective of the PLC, we are raising that to those advice the President does not transmit the faculties to them of the ministries, because it would be a mechanism to deceive the reform to Law 290 and we have reserves with that”, indicated Navarrese.

THE POPULAR ASSEMBLIES

The deputy added that by means of reforms to the Law of Citizen Participation and the Law of Municipalities, Ortega would look for to reduce faculties to the National Assembly.

“That worries to Us to us about the reforms to the Citizen Law and to the Law of Municipalities, because it is for leaving drained of content the work of the National Assembly, and then we must be with vigilant eyes and not to let pass nothing that allows that the content of the National Assembly drains, to arrive at Popular Assemblies that by their same concept is political assemblies, that would be to the service of the State and which they would diminish the balance of powers that must exist”, he assured Navarrese.

The ex- candidate to the Presidency and now delegated by Alianza Nicaraguan Liberal (ALN), Eduardo Montealegre, showed his preoccupation by the power concentration that the agent chief executive looks for Ortega.

“The concentration worries to Us about the power, worries us that the Daniel Ortega of the campaign is different from the Daniel Ortega President… When they governed from down they wanted parlamentarismo and when they govern from above want an excessive presidencialismo”, Montealegre said yesterday.

EXCESSIVE SECRECY

The deputy by Sandinista the Renovador Movement (MRS), Victor Hugo Tinoco, thought that until today the government party does not inform with clarity which is the reach of the reforms that they persecute.

“I do not know the proposal and for that reason it is difficult to think on those subjects, which I can say to you is that direct democracy is the electoral processes, it is to resort to the referendos to consult the population, direct democracy it is to resort to the plebiscitos, is not only to form committees that consult. They are things that would be due to review”, affirmed Tinoco.

“It would be necessary to see what is what they raise, because vos sabés that is a special situation here because here the government is of minority, won with less of the 38 percent; then it must right to have its ideas, but that it has the endorsement of the society through parliament is another thing, then they must explain the things well”, added Tinoco.
