SANTO DOMINGO, DR.<\/strong> \u2013 In a revelation that has shaken the legislative landscape, journalist and coordinator of the Politikal<\/a><\/em> program, Hansel Garc\u00eda<\/strong>, denounced that the Chamber of Deputies surprisingly excluded the Labor Code<\/strong> reform bill from its agenda this Wednesday, following an alleged direct intervention by the business sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garc\u00eda described the event as an act of weakness on the part of the first branch of the State, asserting that “the Chamber of Deputies has just had its arm twisted by the businessmen”<\/strong>. According to the communications professional, the piece, which already has the approval<\/a> of the Senate and a first reading in the Lower House, was scheduled to be heard and approved today in a second reading, but was withdrawn without prior notice to the members of the corresponding commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The influence of Celso Juan Marranzini<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The journalist pointed directly at the president of the National Council of Private Enterprise (CONEP), Celso Juan Marranzini<\/strong>, as the key actor in this legislative maneuver. Garcia detailed that Marranzini visited the National Congress last Tuesday and took the opportunity to meet with “powerful deputies from all sectors.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the information provided on the radio program, the business representative expressed the sector’s disagreement with the code being approved as it stands, arguing that at least 85 business associations<\/strong> oppose the fact that the legislation does not address changes to severance pay<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Celso Juan Marranzini’s visit to the Chamber of Deputies yesterday beat the Chamber of Deputies in a power struggle, and that is why they removed the discussion of the labor code from the agenda today,”<\/strong> declared Garc\u00eda.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
