The Executive Branch will request Congress legislative powers in terms of economic reactivation,
announced on Wednesday afternoon.
The bill —which will be submitted to the Legislative Branch— was approved at today's Council of Ministers session to officialize the request for delegation of powers.
"As we have already reported and reiterated, our priorities as a Government are economic reactivation and citizen security; we will request legislative powers in order to issue regulations on this matter," he indicated.
The Cabinet chief explained that the Executive Branch's proposal involves more than 90 measures, which have to do with simplification and management of services, fiscal balance, penitentiary criminology policy, security, and defense, among others.
