After the president, Alejandro Giammattei, announced that this Tuesday the Council of Ministers will decree a State of Prevention to limit the demonstrations, arguing that they contribute to the increase in Covid-19 cases, the vice president, Guillermo Castillo, was skeptical that it has That purpose was the measure and he expressed that he would like to know what it is to achieve the goal of vaccination against the coronavirus.
“I believe that all of us in the Council of Ministers would agree to support a State of Prevention that strengthens the vaccine supply process, extending schedules on weekends and if necessary to extend it for 15 more days, as we would gladly do so” , argued the Vice President.
He added that, “he would like to believe that it is so that he can extend hours and ask for support from the private sector and others to allow us to meet that goal.”
Castillo estimated that using the State of Prevention to limit the demonstrations would make the ministers hesitate to sign the decree, “I do not believe that a State of Prevention is issued only for that … but if the State of Prevention is only going to do for that, I don’t know if any Minister is going to agree to sign it ”.
DEMONSTRATIONS SHOULD NOT BE A CAUSE FOR CONCERN
Vice President Guillermo Castillo pointed out that, since there is transparency in the public administration, the demonstrations should not raise concerns, “I believe that when you work honestly, with transparency, when you are close to the population, when you build trust, the demonstrations will not they should be a cause for concern. ‘
“I do not understand a State of Prevention only to limit demonstrations … I do not know the content of the document,” he reiterated.
