The PAC announced yesterday that they are not committed to stick to the March deadline for the passing of the Agenda de Implementacion. That is the problem of the Group of 38 (the 38 deputies that support the TLC and the Agenda), said Rafael Madrigal, sub-chief of the fraction. Elisabeth Fonseca furthermore said that she did not recall saying the sentence attributed to her in which she promised to respect the deadline on Tuesday.
The PAC is apparently trying to have it both ways, probably due to intense pressure from the grassroots base, especially the Comites Patrioticos. In a meeting with several representatitives of the base committees, Otton Solis is reported to have promised that the PAC will fight the Agenda de Implementacion until the bitter end. He furthermore is supposed to have denied the separation of the PAC from the movement. So what are they doing? Is there are division in the leadership, or do they simply have no plan? To be continued.
