Legislators enter to debate tougher penalties and fines to punish the so-called ‘vaccines’

Before indulging in a fifteen-day legislative vacancy period, the National Assembly will debate and approve a package of reforms to strengthen institutional capacities and comprehensive security, including tougher penalties and fines to punish calls ‘vaccines’.

The nine legislators that make up the Comprehensive Sovereignty and Security Commission, this December 16, unanimously approved for the second debate the bill that reforms various legal bodies, and the aspiration is that this regulation enters the second debate this Sunday, December 18. December. The project exceeds 150 articles.

There are seven axes that are raised in this project that will be submitted for approval by the plenary. Among them, greater reproach is incorporated in the crimes of extortion, typifying the so-called ‘vaccines’ as aggravated conduct. The seven axes of the reforms are the following:

• Reforms in matters of public and state security to strengthen strategic intelligence and state power in the management of security zones and strategic sectors.
• Reforms to institutionalize the creation and execution of criminal policy.
• Reforms to strengthen and transform, in a substantive way, the social rehabilitation and treatment system for adolescent offenders, from the institutional approach, but also from a management model based on full compatibility between rights and the guarantee of intramural security and discipline.
• Reforms to safeguard girls, boys and adolescents, promote comprehensive treatment for adolescent offenders, but also to reproach and discourage their use and recruitment for criminal purposes.
• Penal reforms far from the usual punitive response of a general increase in sentences, but specific to more severely reproach behaviors that threaten social peace and the full exercise of citizenship rights and that have shocked the public.
• Reforms to promote a greater guarantee of security for crime victims and justice operators in the exercise of their functions.
• Reforms to strengthen the capacity of the State and its institutions to recover the fruits or goods resulting from the most reproachful behaviors.

Hardening of penalties for “vaccines”

In order to respond to the so-called ‘vaccines’, the project proposes to reform article 185 of the Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code (COIP), and proposes a custodial sentence of three to five years and a fine of $9,000 to $11,250 to the person who, with the purpose of obtaining personal benefit or for a third party, demands or compels another, with violence or intimidation in any way or by any means, including through digital or electronic means or the use of pamphlet, flyers or similar, to carry out or omit an act, payment, delivery of goods, deposits or legal business to the detriment of their assets or that of a third party.

But the penalty will go up to seven years and the fine between $10,800 and $18,000 if the victim is a person under 18 years of age, over 65 years of age, a pregnant woman or a person with a disability, or a person who suffers from diseases that compromise their lifetime.

The penalty will be aggravated up to ten years imprisonment and a fine of up to $36,000 in the event that the extortionist simulates a public authority, if the act is committed by one or more people on a regular or repetitive basis, limiting the normal development of the habitual activities, professions or business of the victim.

That same penalty will be applied if the extortion is executed with threat of death, injury, kidnapping or act from which calamity, misfortune or common danger may arise; if extortion is ordered or committed totally or partially from a prison or from abroad, and if it is committed as part of the actions or operations of organized crime.
