B-018: Authorization of Use of Military Force Act, 1675

[Alfonso Velez]

Madam Speaker,

We all know about the terrible attacks in Corrada del Rio and the need for us to protect the citizens of our great Republic. While this Government has already issued orders to ensure that our citizens are protected, it is the belief of this Government that this Parliament ought to authorize the continued deployment of forces. Parliament ought to have a vital role of checking the Government against protracted military engagements to ensure that we do not put the lives of our brave men and women in the armed forces at risk without good cause.

I respectfully submit to this Parliament that this deployment is vital to the security interests of our great Republic, and ask for this Parliament to authorized the continued presence of the Armed Forces to ensure peace and the welfare of our citizens.
