In a statement, the Foundation makes a summons to the Assembly to “obey the law and report to the Comptroller General,” and publish all its execution of public funds, as mandated by Law 6 of 2002 ( Transparency Law ).

“The country is experiencing a dangerous institutional crisis that has confronted the Executive Branch and the National Assembly, as a result of the breakdown of a questionable governability arrangement.We know today – thanks to the investigative journalism of the newspaper La Prensa and the own subsequent statements of deputies and members Executive- that this pact was created by force of discretionary funds provided to the deputies , under various schemes whose common denominator has been secrecy and opacity, “says the Foundation.
