The most disturbing finding acerca child exploitation in Puerto Rico, discussed This at the Annual Conference of the American Bar Association recently held in San Juan, is how little progress has-been made in the effort to address the root form of slavery This New.
One of the Most Shocking findings was presented by the U.S. Attorney Marshall Morgan, manager of the Special Unit for Crimes Against Children and Human-Trafficking children and adults, even though Is that the federal Attorney arrested for one or two people for child pornography illegal transportation ministering purposes of minors for sexual or human trafficking, That amount is tiny in relation to the 50 referrals Receives That the group each month. Revelation Becomes more serious character That When It notes the prosecutor in February federal head of San Juan, Rosa Emilia Rodriguez said that last year his office had issued 51 indictments against an equal number of people and That 100 percent of the Were Convicted defendants. Though Rigorous Recognize That effort, Arises the question how many other authors of this despicable crime walk will loose and hunting more innocent victims . The Widespread use of Internet and social media by children without supervision of a parent or guardian has provided This powerful medium is being used to meet the demand of child pornography and even human trafficking. That's one of the issues or dificultades Undoubtedly retarded the task you are charged with four federal prosecutors and agents with eleven counts Specialized unit to combat These crimes. A That figure must be added the creepy revelation made some months ago by the departments of Justice and Family before the Commission on Civil Rights and Citizenship of the Senate, in the sense That none of these agencies had registered a single case of human trafficking, DESPITE being criminalized in the Penal Code of Puerto Rico as a separate offense and strong penalties for Those Who Engage In this wild crime. Meanwhile, According to data provided at the conference by Marshall lawyer tax, the fact That Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States jurisdiction to prosecute the transportation of minors for the commission of a sexual offense is wider on the island to include Such Mobilization Occurs from one village to another , que has led since 2012, when yo I took the federal first case of its kind in 70 years, the number of Such crimes have Soared uncontrollably. During the conference, the president of the House of Representatives, Jaime Perello, meanwhile listed some of the recent legislation, and signed by the governor, to protect and help children to more Effectively who are victims of sex crimes. específicamente Referred to the Law 246 of 2011 expanded the definition That of sexual abuse and its many variants and 158 in 2013 for the operation centers of integrated services for victims of sexual abuse. Again, this is important legislation but by its very nature, is Aimed at Addressing the Consequences of crime. However, it Should be Strengthened to the maximum possible strategies to Prevent this nefarious practice so mercilessly That Continually hurts our society.

Director-Public Policy
Center for a New Economy
The Center for a New Economy is eight years analyzing the annual budget of the government of Puerto Rico. Definitely recommended for the Fiscal year 2015 budget is more complicated than we Examined. The metaphor used to describe this budget would be a Byzantine web woven by some great character devised by Borges or Cortazar, Which connect through multiple new taxes, savings and ethereal Measures dubious of government "efficiency".
The side of the steps includes a swarm of new tax Measures, many of Which are non-recurring, That Were designed at the last minute with little analysis and study less, to "fit" the budget. To be fair, the government has Announced a comprehensive tax reform later This Year. Will Have to wait until then to further analyze the tax system of the country.
On the side of the "adjustments" included Measures is difficult to categorize as "cuts and savings." For example, $ 267 million will be "provided by entities outside the General fund," Un certain public corporations actually, to cover Expenditures of the Central government. That's not saving, That is a disguised financing.
The spectacle of so many government OFFICIALS running from one place to another, improvising to Achieve That elusive "Straighten" budget, makes us think info we have lost sight of some basic principles. The budget allocates financial resources to Contribute towards Achieving a Un certain conception of the common good. Who, in the midst of this chaos, are thinking of Achieving this common good?
Below we summarize some of the Most Important findings of our report on the Recommended Budget for FY2015:
- Given the deficiency of $ 320 million in Revenues to the Treasury on May 31, it is likely That the General fund deficit for Fiscal year 2014 excede the government projection of $ 650 million. In fact, the Ministry of Finance has Announced That to close the 2014 will use $ 35 million of surplus emission COFINA 2009 and special assignments That Have Not Been Paid will be rescheduled,: such as $ 250 million to repay lines of credit with GDB and $ 90 million of the additional contribution to the Retirement System.
- The General fund budget for Fiscal year 2015 will not be structurally balanced, and That the government will use $ 269.8 million of money to pay the debt service on the general obligation bonds issued on March 11, 2014.
- In Addition, the $ 1,357 million of cuts and "other adjustments" that Have Been Proposed are the product partly of accounting tricks. , Moreover, the Office of Management and Budget Estimates That At least $ 309 million of Those cuts are subject to a high risk of estimation and implementation.
- Malthus, we estimate the structural deficit of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico for FY 2015 will be at Least $ 578 million, equivalent to the difference Between the revised Estimated Revenues of $ 9,565 million less expenses of $ 10,143 million ($ 9,565 million basic expenses + $ 309 million unrealized savings + $ 269.8 million of capitalized interest).
- The consolidated budget includes $ 4,552 million, or 16.2% of the total, to service the debt. To put this figure in context, sizable That the consolidated budget includes $ 1,190 million for investment in permanent best, equivalent to a mere 4.2% of it .
- , Moreover, as shown in the chart Accompanying This Review, Total expenditure on debt service excede the budget of agencies and programs as important as the Department of Education, My Health, University of Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rico Police.
- The debt of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is unsustainable. This is mainly due to Puerto Rico's debt has grown at a compound annual rate of 8.2% since 2000, while the GDP (at current prices) only Domestic Product has grown at an annual rate of 4.1% During the same period.
- To reverse this trend will require (1) operate with a primary surplus for several years and (2) That the rate of GDP growth consistently excede the interest rate on debt. Both events are unlikely in the near future.
The budget discussion has-been complicated than usual With the approval of the "Law Enforcement With the Debt Restructuring and the Public Corporation of Puerto Rico", que has unleashed a maelstrom in our public debate. On one side Are those who support the move as unavoidable in the best case, or as a necessary evil at worst. On the other side are two groups. Argues That One who must be paid the debt Regardless of the Consequences; Bondholders come first though surgery at the Medical Center Have to be done without anesthesia . While the other group Argues That Should the debt be repudiated or at Least That Puerto Rico must declare a unilateral moratorium on the payment of the same. Neither Of Those options is socially desirable.
The law for the reorganization of public corporations is not perfect but Provides an orderly, logical process, and well structured to reduce the burden of debt service. We can not continue sacrificing our public services to meet the golden calf of the Bondholders. In the words of Pope Francisco. "We created new idols The Adoration of the Golden Calf old (cf. Ex 32.1 to 35) has found a new and ruthless in the fetishism of money and the dictatorship of the economy without a face and without a truly human target version. "Is that society we want to live, where the Medical Center has to resort to radiomaratones to raise the funds for its operation Necessary?
