The deputies also gave their approval to allocate more than US$ 25 million for police officers to finance their food during the period from august to december, in order to benefit 27,072 security workers and thus continue providing their services.

"Our commitment is to support the security forces, it is the least we can do for the work that the blue heroes are doing in the territory, who expose their lives to provide peace of mind to the citizens", congressman Christian Guevara during the session.

The Ministerio de Hacienda, thanks to its efficiency in tax collection and its fight against money laundering, has managed to obtain US$ 11 million, to be allocated to reinforce the operation of the Presidency of the Republic.
