translated from Spanish: Blumel by passage of Anti-Saqueos Act: “It says there is a will to move forward”

The Minister of Interior and Public Security, Gonzalo Blumel, analyzed during this Monday the approval of the Anti-Saqueos Act. “I want to appreciate what’s happened in the Senate. Several months ago we have been talking about signs of rejection of violence, of advancing the recovery of public order, but those signs have to be realized in fact,” he began. He also said that this was “a positive sign, because he realizes that there is a willingness to move forward on legislation that strengthens public order,” he said. For his part, from the opposition, Senator Juan Ignacio Latorre (RD) insisted that “as an opposition we have not been clear, we have not been emphatically to reject those initiatives that may be a setback, that may be conservative or lend the criminalization of social protest and that do nothing to help solve the serious public safety problems we have in the country.” While Senator Felipe Harboe (PPD) replied that the project seeks to “sanction violent events, I categoantly describe that a project of this nature can be applied as one senator said, to the performance of ‘The Thesis’, it is always good to read the project”, commented, referring to Latorre’s criticism of the latter intervention. Since officialism, Ivan Moreira, he retorted that “the important thing is that the state has judicial tools to do so and this will tend to prevent violence.”
