Saldivar Swipes At Briceno
Thu, March 23, 2017

That means that he is admitting that in this budget as has been in the budgets of all the UDP administrations since we've been the government, we have had these pro-poor programs in place and this budget, in spite of the austerity that we are experiencing, still contains these programs."
