And because it is “a series of circumstances that only reveal the urgency to fulfill a task that was given to them to approve a reform without any knowledge of what the reality is.”
This document is unacceptable. It is a major mockery. It seems that a hasty adjustment was made, and I say this with the respect that legislative activity deserves, but it cannot be that they show the lack of commitment to society by establishing words that even the Constitution cannot contain or this thing about the raffle or the average to be able to be a judge, it seems too instructive to me.
