The List Of
Legislators
Against Pay Hike
Is Growing
Slowly more and
more legislators
are finding
their conscience
and are coming
out publicly
with their vote
against the
proposed salary
hike for
legislators.
The latest to
join the
bandwagon of
"no's" is Víctor
Hugo Víquez of
the Partido
Liberación
Nacional (PLN),
who said
publicly rejects
the salary hike
in contrast to
his other 23
fellow party
legislators.
Víquez said
that, in
addition to
listening to his
conscience, he
is taking the
advice of family
and friends, as
well as social
groups in the
province of
Heredia.
"I come from a
province were we
have strong
values and
family roots",
said the
legislator by
the press office
of the
Legislative
Assembly and the
social
networking site,
Facebook.
"If the increase
is approved, I
will donate it
to social groups
and if I am not
obligated to
accept it, the
better", said
Víquez.
Aside from
Víquez, four
legislators of
the Partido
Accesibilidad
Sin Exclusión (PASE),
Víctor Granados,
Rita Chaves,
Martín Monestel
and Joaquín
Porras, have
said no.
Listening to
thei conscience
as well is
Gloria Bejarano
and Luis Fishman
of the Partido
Unidad Social
Cristiana (PUSC).
The seven are
joining the 11
Partido Acción
Ciudadana (PAC)
and independent
legislator, José
María Villalta,
who has said no
from the
beginning.
The total number
of legislators
against the bill
now stands at
19.
