Washington, DC: el senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley y los senadores estadounidenses Raphael Warnock (D-GA) y Sherrod Brown (D-OH) se asociaron con los representantes Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL-8), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14 ), Joe Neguse (D-CO-2), Matt Gaetz (R-FL-1) y Michael Cloud (R-TX-27) hoy para presentar el Prohibici\u00f3n de la Ley de Comercio en Conflicto<\/i>\u2014 legislaci\u00f3n apoyada por la mayor\u00eda de los votantes dem\u00f3cratas, independientes y republicanos y que prohibir\u00eda a los miembros del Congreso y al personal superior del Congreso abusar de sus cargos para obtener ganancias financieras personales.<\/span><\/p>\n

Encuestas recientes muestran que el 67% de los estadounidenses<\/a> apoyar la prohibici\u00f3n de que los miembros del Congreso posean acciones individuales.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cNecesitamos poner fin a la era en la que los miembros del Congreso compran y venden acciones individuales para beneficio personal. Esta pr\u00e1ctica es profundamente corrupta\u201d, dijo Merkley<\/b>. \u201cPrimero, sesga el punto de vista de los miembros cuando trabajan en legislaci\u00f3n relacionada con una acci\u00f3n que poseen. En segundo lugar, los miembros comercian con la informaci\u00f3n que escuchan y el p\u00fablico en general no. Y eso est\u00e1 mal. Traigamos algo de integridad al Congreso y terminemos con el comercio de acciones individuales\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cExiste un posible conflicto de intereses inevitable cuando los miembros del Congreso y sus principales empleados comercian con acciones mientras toman decisiones que afectan el valor de esas acciones\u201d. dijo Krishnamoorthi. <\/b>\u201cNuestra legislaci\u00f3n eliminar\u00e1 incluso la posibilidad de estos conflictos de intereses y garantizar\u00e1 que los servidores p\u00fablicos pongan a sus electores en primer lugar al prohibirles a los miembros y a sus asesores principales negociar acciones individuales\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLos miembros del Congreso sirven al pueblo estadounidense, no a sus carteras de acciones\u201d, dijo Brown. <\/b>\u201cLos funcionarios electos tienen acceso a informaci\u00f3n no p\u00fablica que puede afectar a empresas individuales e industrias enteras. Debe haber m\u00e1s responsabilidad y transparencia para evitar que los miembros usen esta informaci\u00f3n y abusen de sus cargos para beneficio personal\u201d.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA medida que los estadounidenses se enfrentan a circunstancias econ\u00f3micas desafiantes debido a la pandemia, es nuestro deber garantizar que las necesidades de las familias trabajadoras sean prioritarias. Debemos asegurarnos de que los miembros del Congreso trabajen en inter\u00e9s del pueblo estadounidense, no en inter\u00e9s de sus carteras de acciones personales\u201d. dijo neguse<\/b>. \u201cLa promulgaci\u00f3n de esta legislaci\u00f3n de sentido com\u00fan garantizar\u00e1 que los funcionarios electos no utilicen su posici\u00f3n en el cargo para obtener un beneficio personal, por lo que me enorgullece liderar la Prohibici\u00f3n de la Ley de Comercio en Conflicto<\/i> junto al congresista Krishnamoorthi y la congresista Ocasio-Cortez en la C\u00e1mara\u201d.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDesde el principio he dicho que Washington est\u00e1 roto. El Congreso debe rendir cuentas ante el pueblo estadounidense\u201d, dijo la nube<\/b>. \u201cComo representantes electos, cada uno de nosotros tiene la obligaci\u00f3n constitucional de honrar la confianza p\u00fablica que se nos ha otorgado. No se debe permitir que los miembros del Congreso abusen de su funci\u00f3n para obtener ganancias financieras\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

El Prohibici\u00f3n de la Ley de Comercio en Conflicto<\/i> prohibir\u00eda a los miembros del Congreso y al personal senior del Congreso, que a menudo reciben avisos previos de investigaciones, audiencias y legislaci\u00f3n que pueden afectar los precios de las acciones o pueden mover los mercados al insinuar cambios de pol\u00edtica, comprar o vender acciones individuales y otras inversiones, y de sirviendo en cualquier junta corporativa, mientras est\u00e9 en el cargo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Se permitir\u00eda a los nuevos miembros vender propiedades individuales dentro de los seis meses posteriores a la elecci\u00f3n, y los miembros del Congreso en funciones podr\u00edan vender propiedades individuales dentro de los seis meses posteriores a la promulgaci\u00f3n del proyecto de ley. Alternativamente, los miembros del Congreso podr\u00edan optar por mantener las inversiones existentes mientras est\u00e9n en el cargo, sin opci\u00f3n de negociaci\u00f3n hasta que dejen el cargo, o transferirlas a un fideicomiso ciego. A los miembros del Congreso a\u00fan se les permitir\u00eda tener inversiones de amplia participaci\u00f3n, como fondos mutuos diversificados y fondos cotizados en bolsa.<\/span><\/p>\n

El proyecto de ley est\u00e1 copatrocinado por los representantes estadounidenses Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA-5), Mark Takano (D-CA-41), Jan Shackowksy (D-IL-9), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), Mondaire Jones ( D-NY-17), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR-3), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI-13), Mark Pocan (D-WI-2), Jackie Speier (D-CA-14) y Ted Deutsch (D-FL-22) en la C\u00e1mara.<\/span><\/p>\n
