A report in El Dia makes the point that the National Congress will end its first legislative term of the year with a record number of important bills approved. These include the Public Administration Wages Bill, the Fundamental Bill of the Armed Forces, the bill that will regulate the export of metals and scrap metals, bill that modifies the Penal Procedures Code, and that creating the Ministry of Mines. The report points out that despite the work effort, the bill that would regulate political parties continues to languish in Congress.
