Mexican Congress Says No To ACTA
from the good-for-them dept
Earlier, we mentioned that a bill from the Mexican Congress opposing ACTA was going to the full Congress today, and apparently the bill was approved. Now, the question is whether or not the Mexican executive branch will try to ignore the will of Congress on this issue and sign ACTA anyway. And, some will undoubtedly point out that this isn't quite as strong as it might have been, as it wasn't a separate vote, but the Mexican Congress rolled up a few different bills into one because they were "running out of time." I'm not sure I want to comment on what I think of a legislative body doing something like that.

That proposal was the result of the 6 month working group on ACTA with all stakeholders were the government couldnt justidy or explain how will be implemented.
After the voting today there was another audience in Senate with citizens. Some senators informed that they don support ACTA and wont pass a least during this administration that ends on 2012. And also Senador Doring, proposed take measures, legislative ones, to make sure it wont pass in the future neither.
This time they did it right. I know is surprising but the thing is that they found a very active and informed society that won't let ACTA pass.

Why Not? Our Congress does it all the time and it doesn't seem to benefit the majority. Looks like we can learn something from our Hispanic neighbors to the south.

Re: Re:
Brazil is not a party to ACTA. They were not invited to the negotiations and are in no position to sign. They have expressed concerns about the agreement, but the new Brazilian gov't seems to have gone the completely opposite direction as the old one.

Re: Rolling different bills into one.
What are you talking about? In what year was this put upon the ballot for all US citizens to vote upon?
Possibly you blame the voters for what congress does, that is a completely different topic.
