Biden critica las disposiciones que le impiden cerrar Guantánamo y trasladar a los reos

El presidente Joe Biden promulgó el presupuesto en Defensa aprobado por el Congreso para el año fiscal 2024, pero criticó las disposiciones que le impiden cerrar la prisión de Guantánamo y trasladar a sus reos.El mandatario informó en un comunicado que firmó la ley con el nuevo presupuesto porque le permite al Pentágono contar con un ejército capaz de “disuadir conflictos futuros”.Sin embargo, Biden criticó que el texto “continúa prohibiendo el uso de fondos para transferir a los detenidos de la bahía de Guantánamo” a Estados Unidos o a otros países.El presidente remarcó que estas disposiciones “menoscaban indebidamente” la capacidad del Gobierno para determinar cuándo y dónde procesar a los detenidos en Guantánamo y adónde enviarlos una vez liberados.Incluso, remarcó que podría impedir el cumplimiento de una sentencia de un tribunal que ha ordenado la excarcelación de uno de los detenidos mediante un recurso de ‘habeas corpus’. “...
