Moments of tension are recorded around the Congress building, because two groups of protesters do not allow the deputies to enter the legislative agency for the scheduled session at 2 pm on Tuesday, May 6.
In the plenary on Tuesday, legislators seek to redistribute commissions and choose the first secretary of the Board of Directors.
First came a group that manifested in front of a Congress income on the 8th Avenue.
Then came another group that blocked the passage with motorcycles and, with the covered faces, do not allow the entry of the officials. In addition, they burned mortars as a protest measure.
The protesters rejected the increase to the salary of the deputies.
“No to salary increase” It was read in one of the blankets carried by the dissatisfied, who also ask for reforms to the Organic Law of the Public Ministry.
Although the National Civil Police tried to dialogue does not open the step so far.
In a context of tension for political control in the Legislative, the Constitutional Court ordered that Congress resume the plenary session of April 29, which was lifted by the president of the Board of Directors, Nery Ramos, stating that there was no quorum and then, at a conference, Ramos recognized that there were no adequate conditions to continue.
