  • A nationalist deputy urged the liberal bloc to approve energy reforms with "common sense" due to congressional deadlock.
  • The deputy warned that the Presidential Cabinet (PCM) might become the solution if consensus is not reached.
  • The call comes amid difficulties in the National Congress to achieve agreement on the proposed energy sector reforms.

A Honduran deputy has called for "common sense" to be applied in approving crucial energy reforms, warning that the Presidential Cabinet (PCM) may have to step in if Congress fails to reach a consensus. The plea highlights the ongoing difficulties in the National Congress to forge agreement on the proposed changes to the energy sector.

Frank Alley, a deputy from the National Party, directly addressed the liberal bloc, urging them to find common ground. The legislative stalemate risks delaying or derailing the reforms, which are seen as vital for the country's energy future. The deputy's statement suggests a growing impatience with the lack of progress.

Alley's warning implies that if lawmakers cannot resolve their differences, the executive branch might take a more decisive role. This could involve the PCM proposing its own solutions or directly intervening to implement changes, bypassing the legislative gridlock. The situation underscores the challenges of political negotiation in Honduras.
