The morning began with the demonstration that a group of women carried out against the Golden Mile in Hato Rey, heart of the economic power of the island there, chained in front of the Banco Popular, claiming, as many before them, that the government halt the job cuts announced by hosting one of the dozens of alternatives that have been submitted as an antidote to the economic crisis.
At the same time, in Ponce , protesters climbed the famous letters on behalf of the people to demand the same. In the Rio Piedras Campus, UPR history was no different.
And while this was happening, the Senate approved through the mechanism reported to download the elimination of compulsory licensing in a move that according to the leadership of the College must be classified as "legal terrorism." The former president of the College, Celina Romany spoke with me today and indicated that it was "revenge." "The school has always been the singing voice and the voice that educates people about their rights (in a situation like this) and that silencing takes more dangerous dimensions in the context of what is happening in the country. It is a day to go down in history as one very sad because it's maul the most important corporate citizen that has taken this country. "
Minutes later, the Court Supreme issued an opinion that validates the right to escort former governors to be arguing that the privilege is an entitlement. The determination of the local highest court gave a vote of 4 to 3 (with the abstention of Anabelle Rodriguez) and was approved by judges appointed by governors of the New Progressive Party, who are the majority in the Supreme. The
Chief Justice and Associate Justice Ileana Fiol issued dissenting opinions. The order reverses a ruling by the Court of Appeals and concluded that former governors are affected "directly and substantially a right which was already acquired the assets of the petitioners." This has not nothing but add fuel to the fire of public unease, as if burning embers were not wildly. If what happened was not premeditated, at least has been awkward and unwelcome at this juncture. Be seen whether the Supreme Court used the same argument of "acquired right" when they get their hands on the cases of public employees stripped of their rights and employment.
