In the midst of the hard pulse that occurs in Congress on whether to meet in a virtual or face-to-face manner, a proposal emerged that immediately attracted attention.The proposal came on behalf of the representative José Luis Correa, of the Liberal Party, who asked his colleagues “to have responsibility for the country” and to meet only in a virtual way.

“How are we going to tell a family that the ICU bed that should have been for their grandfather or uncle is occupied by a congressman who, being able to do so, refused to work from home and went to meet in person, “said Correa, who is a doctor by profession.

The liberal congressman added: If you are going to meet in person, then those who shout in person that sign an informed consent in which we resign from the ICU bed if we get sick in Congress. ”
