Mayagüez-day activities of the symbolic incarceration by the release of Oscar López Rivera began last night at the Plaza de Colón in this county with an ecumenical and bomba and plena music.

The head of the organizing committee of the activity in Mayaguez 32 x Oscar Comas Federico Montalvo, gave a presentation in which he highlighted the conditions under which is the political prisoner, followed by the reading of a letter from the artist Antonio Martorell, with occasion of the activity.

At 12:01 am on Wednesday began symbolic incarceration Oscar's sister, Mercedes López Rivera.

"To these have been added like 25 people and we're giving them a few minutes to have a chance," he said, indicating that the symbolic incarceration will run until midnight on Wednesday will be arriving the solidarity with the cause for the release of Oscar .

Today marks 32 years that Lopez was imprisoned for the crime of seditious conspiracy.

 "The case of Oscar is one violated civil rights, and we understand that 32 years is too long for the crime he is accused," said Comas Montalvo.

"Oscar is serving a sentence of 70 years in prison, and last year was presented for the first time before the Parole Board, but the FBI opposed his release on the grounds that he was related to crimes he has never been defendant, "Comas said Montalvo.

This assessment on the Parole Board will be repeated for Oscar in 15 years, but now the prisoner is 70 years old and is in poor health, so that parts of the country, outside of party lines, necessary understand his release and request through this activity the Barack Obama presidential pardon.

 After a broad movement, in 1999 President Bill Clinton released a group of political prisoners, but Lopez was imposed a series of special conditions understood that was one of the leaders of the organization. By then it was considered that would several years after the rest of his teammates.

 Comas Montalvo said that Lopez was not released because he refused to ask forgiveness for their crimes as you want to understand now. "Oscar stated that there were some fellow prisoners and that failure to accept such conditions. That is the reason why he did not come out at that time, "he said.

Pierluisi requests consideration the proposal of PNP

He insists that you should not raise taxes

 

Resident Commissioner urged the governor Alejandro García Padilla to make "responsible government". (Archive)

By Osman Perez Mendez / osman.perez @ gfrmedia.com

Resident Commissioner Pedro Pierluisi, called this afternoon to consider the government's budget proposal NPP instead of imposing new taxes.

"In times of economic hardship, no one raises their budget by eight percent. It is not wise or responsible to increase government spending by $ 750 million. No trader or head of household in Puerto Rico that is increasing the costs of your business or home at eight percent less that has hit the lottery, "said Pierluisi, who spoke surrounded by lawmakers and personalities of the PNP , after a meeting at the party headquarters in Hato Rey.

Pieluisi management defended the former government of Luis Fortuño to say that it had reduced the government deficit by two-thirds.

Resident Commissioner urged the governor Alejandro García Padilla to make "responsible government," and that instead of more taxes is operated efficiently at Treasury and other government agencies.

"The easy way for any manager is to pass the bill to another. We have five months of cantazo in cantazo, with ivutazo retirazo and now, "Pierluisi said referring to the fiscal measures taken by the government of García Padilla.

Pierluisi also talked about the efforts done in Congress to seek the admission of Puerto Rico as the 51st state and assured that they are on track and have the endorsement of more than fifty members of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans.

Pierluisi also said he planned to attend the session of the UN General Assembly where once again, we will discuss the status of Puerto Rico.

On other issues, the resident commissioner said he favored the release of Oscar López Rivera on the grounds that "the punishment he received is more than enough".

He also referred to the controversial projects 238 and 488 and said his position has always been against discrimination, including discrimination based on sexual orientation. But he said that does not favor marriage between people of the same sex.

As for the recently passed law reform, Pierluisi said "has fallen short and has serious flaws," while condemning the legislature was reinstated part time, claiming that in the past this practice had brought many problems.
