A small luxury in times of austerity
Some are punished and some are pampered at Congress . We've been told that PAN members at the lower chamber , led by Juan Carlos Romero Hicks , will no longer enjoy their VIP cafeteria but the PT members have new chairs and stools for theirs. But it's not that the federal government has priorities, in fact, every party decides how will they spend their budget. We've been told that for the PT , its members are a priority , especially since they work over 10 hours a day. A small luxury in times of austerity .
