BUDGET 2009 PASSES PARLIAMENT
admin1 – December 30, 2008 – 12:03pm

With 64 votes in favor, the Parliament adopted the budget 2009 on Monday. The opposition believes the Government will not succeed in realizing the projected revenues and denounce the budget for not having taken into consideration the effects of the global financial crisis. The governing majority, on the other hand, trusts that the opposition is unnecessarily spreading fear and that the projected public investments would cushion the effects of the recession.
