The increase in the 2013 budget will be used in the 2014 regional elections in the Caribbean and investment in social projects, defense and other things.
According to Congressman Walmaro Gutierrez, reform to the General Budget of the Republic by the Executive includes adding revenues of $38.9 million to the 2013 budget.
"Last December Nicaraguan Congress approved a budget for 2013 of $1.8823 billion in revenue, up 10.8% from 2012, and with a fiscal deficit of $102.5 million," noted an article in Aguasdigital.com .
Lawmaker Guillermo Osorno Molina expressed his complete opposition to the initiative, making it impossible to get the 47 votes that are needed.
Osorno, president of the Nicaraguan Christian Walk (CCN) party, argued that the Legislative Branch does not have the authority to cancel municipal elections.
Osorno is an ally in Parliament of the Constitutional Liberal Party (PLC), the main force behind the initiative to annul the elections, and with his vote the PLC would be close to the 47 votes need for it to pass, although this now seems unlikely with the lawmaker's comments.
The country continues to be divided after municipal elections. Some are claiming victory, others are alleging fraud.
Just a week after the latest elections in Nicaragua, it seems that violence has reemerged as a tool that will be used to resolve conflicts in this Central American country.
According to official preliminary figures, the Sandinista Front (FSLN) was victorious in most of the 146 municipalities where local elections were held last November 9, however the opposition is refusing to accept the results, alleging that there has been serious cases of fraud.
Nicaraguan Opposition continued to demand a new recount of Sunday's municipal election votes.
They have not ruled out demand that the result be annulled and are organizing street protest to pressure election authorities.
"We are not recognizing the recount done by the Election Commission (CSE) because we wanted it to be done countrywide and in the presence of independent observers," said Eliseo Nuñez, from the press team for the movement that supports the opposition candidate for mayor of Managua, Eduardo Montealegre.
The Electoral Tribunal carried out the review of the voting in Managua with contradictory versions about the physical presence of the opposition.
There was an air of uncertainty on Thursday in Nicaragua, after a round of violence that erupted when the opposition refused to accept the tribunals decision to only review the municipal polls on Sunday in Managua, and without independent observers.
Preliminary results from municipal polls give the win to the Sandinistas. The oppositions denies this.
Preliminary results early Monday morning issued by the Supreme Electoral Council, CSE, suggest a decisive victory for the official National Sandinista Liberation Front in the municipal elections held Sunday in Nicaragua.
So far the opposition refuses to accept the official count and the liberal candidate for Mayor of the capital city, Eduardo Montealegre, accused the Council of orchestrating a fraud that could result in grave consequences for the country.
In the midst of a political polarization the elections have come to be about the Sandinista President, Daniel Ortega.
Almost 4 million Nicaraguans are eligible to vote this Sunday to elect almost 3400 officials, including Mayors, Deputy Mayors, among many others from 5 different parties. It is expected to come down to the major parties Partido Liberal Constitucionalista (PLC, right) and Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN, left).
