"Puerto Rico is in a dreadful state of bankruptcy; it is like paying with credit card when the family is already in the bankruptcy court," said Senate President Eduardo Bhatia

Incólume el Gobierno con los impuestos

1 Share
Aunque hablaron por horas, fue muy poco lo que pudo decir el liderato político del país sobre el futuro económico de Puerto Rico durante el foro Por Puerto Rico.
Durante su participación los presidentes de Cámara y Senado tomaron posturas defensivas recalcando que, con los impuestos acordados para cuadrar el presupuesto, están haciendo lo mejor para Puerto Rico. Reiteraron que la mayor parte de los problemas los heredaron.
“Puerto Rico se encuentra en una situación de quiebra terrible, es como pagar una tarjeta de crédito cuando la familia suya ya está en el tribunal de quiebras”, dijo el presidente del Senado, Eduardo Bhatia, quien no pudo responder cómo actuarían si el Tribunal Supremo termina por invalidar la polémica reforma del Sistema de Retiro.
Explicó que las casas acreditadoras le dijeron a Puerto Rico que tenía que hacer cuatro cosas: reorganizar la deuda de Retiro; tener un presupuesto balanceado; empezar a pagar las deudas; empezar a hacer crecer la economía.
“De esas cuatro cosas, entendíamos hasta ayer que teníamos tres que ya habíamos atendido. ¿Qué pasaría si el Tribunal Supremo declara inconstitucional la Ley de Retiro? Obviamente tira todo ese trabajo por la borda. Si el Tribunal (Supremo) tiene otras agendas... eso sería terrible para Puerto Rico”, dijo Bhatia, admitiendo que no hay un plan alterno.
Bhatia añadió su molestia con que la gente se refiriera a la reforma de Retiro como el “retirazo”.
El presidente de la Cámara, Jaime Perelló, tampoco fue específico sobre los detalles del presupuesto y su impacto en la economía.
Dijo que antes de tomar las decisiones sobre nuevos recaudos se escuchó al sector privado. “Por eso prácticamente se eliminó (el impuesto) ‘business to business’, excepto algunas áreas. En el caso de la Contribución Especial Nacional, o la Patente Nacional, se hizo de una manera para proteger al pequeño y mediano comerciante”.
Perelló aseguró que “estamos en una transición hacia a tener un sistema contributivo que realmente responda a los intereses del pueblo puertorriqueño y a nuestra capacidad de desarrollo económico”. Sin embargo, no se atrevió a poner fechas a esas medidas de “transición”.
Finalmente, fue el senador Ángel Rosa el que pareció dar una idea más clara del futuro inmediato. “Hemos pasado la sesión (legislativa) distribuyendo escasez. Es responsabilidad de todos. Si las mujeres pudieran parir sin dolor, pues lo escogían, pero no se puede. Lo que Puerto Rico tiene que hacer va a doler, y le va a doler a todo el mundo”...

"El Pueblo espera más de sus líderes" - Pedro Pierluisi

Pierluisi critica al gobernador - El Nuevo Día

10:05 a.m.
Luego de las expresiones realizadas por el mandatario sobre los 6 jueves del Supremo
El presidente del Partido Nuevo Progresista (PNP) y comisionado residente, Pedro Pierluisi, cuestionó la capacidad del gobernador Alejandro García Padilla, quien ayer tildó de “enemigos de Puerto Rico” a los 6 jueces de mayoría del Tribunal Supremo.
“Ese no es el tipo de expresión y actitud que el pueblo espera de su gobernador. No puede ser que tildemos de enemigo al que tiene un criterio distinto al nuestro. Se le hace un flaco servicio a Puerto Rico cuando se baja el debate y el discurso a ese nivel”, afirmó el representante de la Isla ante el Congreso estadounidense en declaraciones escritas.
García Padilla tronó contra el Tribunal Supremo, luego de que los jueces asociados que conforman la mayoría declararan inconstitucional la Ley 18 que determinaba la competencia del Tribunal para intervenir en casos radicados en tribunales de menor jerarquía.
Entre las duras críticas hechas por Pierluisi a su contraparte política por el Partido Popular Democrático está un recordatorio de que el puesto de gobernador “requiere ecuanimidad y madurez y la capacidad de ser firme sin de dejar de ser respetuoso, sobre todo con los que no piensan igual”.
“El gobernador es quien tiene la responsabilidad de fomentar la economía en Puerto Rico y velar por nuestro crédito. No se puede empezar a insultar y a echar culpas a otros”, agregó.
Asimismo, Pierluisi recordó que existe la separación de poderes para que los derechos del pueblo le sean protegidos y el sistema electoral para que el pueblo escoja a sus gobernantes.
“Esas virtudes de nuestro sistema democrático podrían estar amenazadas por un Gobierno que en los primeros seis meses de su administración ha demostrado una obsesión por controlar de manera dictatorial a todas las instituciones del gobierno, incluyendo al Tribunal Supremo, la Universidad de Puerto Rico, las corporaciones públicas y hasta las casas acreditadoras. ¿Hasta dónde vamos a llegar? El Pueblo espera más de sus líderes”, sentenció.

Renuncia el subdirector de la CIA

1 Share

El subdirector de la CIA, Michael Morell, renunció el miércoles, tras manejar la renuncia del ex director de la CIA David Petraeus por una relación extramarital y defender la actuación de la agencia en el ataque a un puesto diplomático de Estados Unidos en Bengasi, Libia.
Morell no fue seleccionado por el presidente Barack Obama para el máximo puesto de la CIA, quien eligió a su asesor de contraterrorismo, John Brennan. Este anunció la salida de Morrell el miércoles.
Brennan dijo que Morell será remplazado por Avril Haines, actual asistente adjunta del presidente y asesora jurídica del Consejo Nacional de Seguridad.
Morell aceptó la petición del Departamento de Estado de eliminar la referencia a los milicianos en un polémico memorándum de puntos de debate sobre el ataque en Libia.
Morell también fue criticado por decir que el programa de interrogatorios de la CIA produjo cierta información útil.
