VETO A FRAUDULENT INTERESTS OF TOBACCO IN PARAGUAY PEOPLE'S ANGER! Strike down the tobacco

. Outrage

national world is the widespread feeling against the onslaught of tobacco companies fraudulently Paraguayan, who managed in the Congress to approve a bill that reverses snuff control measures authorized in Decrees Nos. 4174 and 4106 of 2010 referred to 100 spaces % smoke-free snuff and advisories with pictograms. Reviewing the videos of the session (see video), no other decision we could take these congressmen enemies of public health, though many of them burst snuff smoking in a sorry spectacle censured by public opinion overwhelmingly favorable (over 90% ) measures of the Framework Convention for the Control of snuff - FCTC.

The facts speak for themselves:

1. A former minister of health, Julio Cesar Velazquez, who once managed the ratification of the Framework Convention for the Control of snuff FCTC, appears today as Senator Bill Manager that reverses the actions already penalized under the Decrees Nos. 4174 and 4106. Now, Congress passed an authoritative article that the health warnings would revert to a front room (not principal) only 30 percent, excluding graphics or pictures, and leave consideration of the owners of public places closed the decision of whether to smoke or not in spaces with closed areas over 70 square meters.

2. Deputies and the Colorado Candido Aguilera, argue and complain to the media "that more than $ 10,000 per Member being offered to pass the bill on Smoking gives free rein to smoking in public places. " The judicial or competent authorities Paraguay should investigate the commission of crimes such as bribery, popularly known as "bribe" or "bribery", whose authors can not be other than legal or political spokesmen for the tobacco industry. The Deputy Aguilera "accused the tobacco Horacio Cartes powerful businessman (owner of tabes ) who recently launched the political arena in his party of being behind the initiative."

3. Violation have the constitutional duty of Congress to protect the rights to life and health Paraguayans.

4. Breach of the Framework Convention for the Control of snuff - FCTC, ratified by the country on September 26, 2006.

But the political decision of Congress tends worse because it confirms the tradition that unfortunately Paraguay is a country suffering from the tobacco mafia, handling 10% of worldwide smuggling. With an output of approximately 45 billion cigarettes, located more than 90% in the international market, with the aggravation that only 5% of this amount is certified for export.

What can save the Paraguay of this abuse not only irregular but illegal? Only a veto by President Fernando Lugo to the law passed by Congress. A decision to this effect, we do not doubt the president will renew the commitment to Paraguay with the FCTC, public health and respect for human rights, rejecting the imposition of the tobacco companies.
the way, Where is the protest note from the WHO and the Secretariat of the Conference of the Parties to the FCTC? Conspicuous by their absence ... Sorry!
