EL PUERTO DE LAS AMERICAS: BETWEEN POLITICAL HOT POTATO By Atty. Emmanuelli Rolando Jiménez, JD, LL.M. The facts we can state: 1. The government got the mayor of Ponce agreed to delete the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2009, a clause guaranteeing that Ponce did not have to pay the debt of $ 250 million if that the municipality decided to stay with the Port. 2. That's why the gonernador Fortuño announced with great fanfare he was giving the Port of Ponce and ironically called "The Solution Ponceña." 3. central government out of the hot potato-door delivery to Ponce, he knows that because of the change that the mayor allowed in the Memorandum of Understanding 200. Ponce are boxed and have to pay $ 250 million. 4. The Mayor made a misjudgment that pay three or four generations of Ponce and Ponce. 5. President of the Special Commission of Puerto de Las Américas Rafael Cordero Santiago, Seilhamer Lawrence called Rodriguez, who is a senator from the district of Ponce. 6. One member of that committee is Senator Luis A. Berdiel Rivera, who is also senator of the district of Ponce. 7. Ponce's mayor has announced that "The Solution Ponceña" Port of the Americas law requires the legislative chambers and the governor's signature. 8. The Mayor of Ponce and Senator Seilhamer Rodriguez are in a pre-race primary. 9. The Mayor of Ponce wrote a letter to Senator Seilhamer where he says he is an immature and insecure among other epithets. 10. Berdiel Senator Luis Rivera said that in the case of the contest between Senator Seilhamer Primare Rodriguez and the Mayor of Ponce, he would support the mayor with his eyes closed. 11. Undoubtedly, any legislation that is presented on the Port of the Americas, has to go through the Senate Special Committee on the Port of the Americas, where the two distinguished senators, now on opposite sides of the primary race for mayor. 12. Seilhamer Senator Rodriguez has said he has no idea about what the city of Ponce offers as Ponceña Solution. " 13. not in the House of Representatives is known the content of "The Solution Ponceña." 14. cranes are 22 million aging at the Port. 15. not know when to submit the proposed legislation to the legislature. 16. The legislative session ends on June 30, 2011. 17. Senator Seilhamer soon announce his candidacy for mayor of Ponce. 18. Popular Party leaders are doing exit Ponce on the status of Puerto de Las Americas. 19. theory Ponce leaders of the Popular Party is that it is better than penepés are attacked and start your heads, for they then collect political capital. 20. In the midst of all this is the People, that is wrecked their dreams in the tsunamis of sectarian strife and partisan. 21. Anyway, no one knows what time it is about the Port of the Americas. The net result of all these stipulated facts, is that the Port of the Americas is not going to start in 2011. still remember Dr. Ico Zayas Post-Panamax announcing in January 2009, if re-elected, of course. Also, remind the Mayor and Atty. Rhonda Castillo announced the same ships that arrived in 2009, but by January 2010. Then came the nightmare that according to plans and new vision, no longer expected, but another five years. Now we mysterious and dark "Ponceña Solution." The clear result of these indisputable facts, is that as we have said in numerous articles in this journal, partisanship and sectarianism erode our nation, and that the only way forward for strategic projects Puerto Rico is by activating the southern active forces and the implementation of participatory democracy, from local, municipal, regional, even national. # # # The author is a probate lawyer, Chairman of the Firm Emmanuelli, CSP, past president of the C to South Chamber of Commerce of Puerto Rico and NCLR to Host or n program Due Process of Law, which is transmitted s all to Bados at 11 of the ma ñ ana by WPAB 550 on the dial of your radio.
