Senado aprueba ley estado excepción y lo remite .

#Live Senate approves state of emergency law and sends it to the Chamber of Deputies Omachea: “Legislature must approve the state of emergency decreed by Paz” Senator José Manuel Ormachea, from the Libre party, stated that the request to approve the bill for a state of emergency comes from the legislature to the executive branch for its approval. Ormachea indicated that certain articles of this state of emergency bill have been reviewed: “We have added conscientious objection to the law,” he stated. The senator clarified that the bill being considered in the Senate is a “regulatory law” and that it is the government that orders the state of emergency. Furthermore, he pointed out that the “Peace Law” is similar to the “Copa Law” for states of emergency, and therefore maintains that Rodrigo Paz can decree a state of emergency without a law. “The Constitution already empowers President Paz to declare a state of emergency,” he said. The senator clarified that a state of emergency does not extinguish citizens' rights, so legislators can request reports on states of emergency and even initiate legal proceedings. However, he pointed out that: “It is a crime to block roads during a state of emergency… blockades and demonstrations are prohibited during a state of emergency.” Finally, Senator Ormachea maintained that the Legislative Assembly is the body that must approve any state of emergency declared by President Paz. #DTV #National #dtv #bolivia #lapaz #national #live #oruro #redgigavision #beni #latest
