TALA DE SECCIONES EN LA UNIVERSIDAD

La nueva política académica del Recinto de Río Piedras de la Universidad de Puerto Rico, que parece haber eliminado de un plumazo cerca de 400 secciones de estudios para el semestre próximo, debe ser reevaluada de inmediato por las autoridades universitarias porque coloca a cientos de estudiantes en riesgo de no poder graduarse.

La enmienda a la Constitución que quisera ver es la de quitarle el voto a los presos. Cuando uno comete un delito y es encontrado culpable debería perder todos sus derechos, incluyendo el de votar.
Nunca se ha visto algo más ridículo que aquellos que cometen delitos tengan derecho a votar en la consulta de la limitación de la fianza y por nuestros líderes de gobierno.
¿Dónde está nuestro sentido común? ¿Cómo vamos a permitir que los criminales voten?

El programa “Tus valores cuentan” es bueno, pero mal usado y mal implementado. Los primeros que tienen que demostrar los valores son aquellos que están en posiciones de liderato.
¿Qué valores se demuestran en los anuncios políticos? ¿Qué valores hay en casos como AFI? ¿Qué valores hay cuando funcionarios de la oficina de la Presidenta de la Cámara hacen expresiones racistas y no se toma ningún tipo de acción? ¿Qué valores manifestamos cuando si es uno de mi partido lo apoyo, aunque en que mi conciencia sepa que está mal?
¿Qué valores mostramos, cuando l respuesta es “esto lo heredé así”?

Leí sobre el nuevo código penal que firmó el gobernador Luis Fortuño, pero creo que es más de lo mismo.
Hace unos años se enmendó la ley para que los conductores ebrios sean sometidos a la prueba de alcohol, y de negarse, se tomaría esto como un resultado positivo. Pero, esto no se ha visto, y quienes dan el ejemplo son los jueces, que los detienen en estado de embriaguez y se niegan a hacerse las pruebas. Eso sería para despedirlos fulminantemente.
Tampoco se ha hecho nada por si causan una muerte estando ebrios. La pena sería fija, pero tampoco se ha visto esto. En la noticia que leí, presentan a un caballero al que le mataron a su hijo, y él fue testigo. Sorpresa para él cuando, dos semanas después, le rebajaron la fianza a los imputados, quedando en libertad condicional, pero intimidando a los testigos.
Narró cómo los abogados defensores lo tratan como si él hubiera sido el asesino.
No hay que cambiar tantas leyes, que no se cumplen, pues a la hora de ir a los Tribunales, los fiscales hacen arreglos, los jueces rebajan las fianzas, etc.
Lo que hay que hacer es recapacitar al sistema judicial completo, jueces, fiscales, investigadores, para que hagan cumplir las leyes como son, y no les encuentren más derechos a los asesinos. Que los casos se vean en un tiempo razonable, y no hayan dilaciones.
Todo esto es para crearles más derechos a los malhechores, que saben que saldrán impunes por el deficiente sistema judicial que impera en el país.

¿A qué atribuyes en Puerto Rico el alza en el número de deambulantes?

A la creciente incidencia de las adicciones.
Al acelerado aumento de las desigualdades sociales.
A la escasez de políticas públicas que creen oportunidades de rehabilitación.
A la decisión personal de cada vez más individuos que quieren esas condiciones de vida.
