Phil, The gov. has eliminated a bidder without any explanation. VVV, the "presidente de la Asociacion de Fomento a la Infraestructura", points out the dangers of said action as it sets a precedent for other agencies. He implies that the elimination occurs because the Gov. favors another contestant and simply eliminates the competition.
philgoddard Jul 2, 2012:
Thanks. I'm still trying to understand the context, though. Is VVV the "presidente de la Asociacion de Fomento a la Infraestructura"? If so, what is their involvement, and why are they not happy?
Lydia De Jorge (asker) Jul 2, 2012:
Other appearance of term NOMBRE PROPIO. EI presidente de la Asociacion de Fomento a la Infraestructura, sostuvo que este decreto crea un mal precedente, pues lo mismo podria ocurrir en otros sectores, como en saneamiento
o en la concesion de aeropuertos regionales.
Lydia De Jorge (asker) Jul 2, 2012:
Yes, the first paragraph is a heading. I used VVV in place of a person's name. Yes to your last question. Thanks!
philgoddard Jul 2, 2012:
Is the first paragraph a heading? What is VVV? And what is the "decisión" referred to in the first paragraph? Is it the same as the one in the second paragraph?
