The legislative bloc of the National Restoration Party (PRN) demanded that the government freeze positions in the public sector.
According to an agreement of the fraction, it is not enough to just modify the guideline that makes the hiring flexible by up to 50%, which was fixed by the previous administration, but it should be revoked.
The government is rushing to press for more money, but does not make the effort to cut costs,”
said legislator Carlos Avendaño, head of the bloc.
In the agreement, there is also concern over the statements made by the President of the Republic, Carlos Alvarado, in the sense that, for the time being, there is no thought of cutting spending, but instead of slowing down.
The legislators also lamented the negative signals that the Government sends in terms of spending and, therefore, will not allow the voting of any new taxes while maintaining that position.
According to the agreement, a correct first message would be revoking the guideline that, in Article 9, allows institutions to use 50% of existing vacancies and those generated in the future. The fraction demanded a policy of zero growth in the state payroll and not fill vacancies, except in cases of need, such as police forces, education and health institutions.
