.The new directive of the Departmental Legislative Assembly (ALD) of Santa Cruz moved its first chips. On the basis of a new majority, he yesterday adjusted a law to allow all parties to propose a plan for the formation of permanent commissions. Before, only Cree could do it as the force that obtained the most votes in the 2021 subnational elections.
In the Ordinary Session 301 that took place in the chamber of the deliberative body, with 28 votes in favor and four against, the law amending article 31 of Law No. 289 on the Organization of the Legislative Body, which was promulgated during the administration led by Zvonko Matkovic. This project will be sent to be promulgated by the current governor, Mario Aguilera.
The majority votes were given by the dissident assembly members of Creos, the full bench of the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) and the Indigenous bench. While those who opposed the modification were Matkovic, Paola Aguirre, Yelly Baldivieso and Óscar Fenney.
The bill was presented last week by assembly member Aida Gil, representative of the Chiquitano people, and who now occupies one of the board members. The president of the ALD, Antonio Talamás, explained that the spirit of the project is to return to the original regulation which ensures that it is a “little more democratic”, to have equality in the occupation of the commissions that the Legislative Assembly has, and not so that it is taken over by the majority bench that It was previously We believe before it is divided.
“There was participation from all provinces and groups. A more equitable redistribution will be made for the commissions and presidency that any departmental assembly member can access,” Talamas highlighted.
“They are taking away the vote”
The assemblywoman loyal to Camacho, Paola Aguirre, He described this action as “scandalous” and affirmed that the modification strategically consummates the delivery of the ALD to the Masismo, because they are accommodating laws to comply with the political agreements with the commissions.
“Why are you who were part of Creo changing a law that you approved last year? This is not just any approval, they are prioritizing the change of the law in order to pave the way and hand over the commissions that belong to the people of Santa Cruz to a minority group such as the MAS. We believe he won the elections with more than 55% and you are taking away the vote,” Aguirre asserted.
Meanwhile, assemblyman Zvonko Matkovicsaid that the regulations of the Legislative Assembly were modified without the commission report and that the new board changed two legal directors, because they refused to sign the report that the election was legal.
As things turned out, the We believe that it is loyal to Camacho bench was made up of four legislators. At the beginning of the period there were 11.
