Today begins the Third Ordinary Period of Sessions of the National Assembly of People's Power (ANPP) in its X Legislature, which foresees, in its agenda, to submit six laws for approval.
Oscar Manuel Silvera Martínez, Minister of Justice, explained to Granma that these are the Law on Administrative Procedure; on Transparency and Access to Public Information; on the System of Honorary Titles and Decorations of the Republic of Cuba; on Migration; on Aliens and on Citizenship.
Since April 10, 2019, the date on which the Constitution of the Republic was proclaimed, up to this moment 41 laws and 108 decree laws have been approved, including in the latter figure the six recently approved by the Council of State.
“To better explain the impact of these issues, we can classify them into four large groups: on the functioning and organization of the State and the Government; the normative development of rights, guarantees and duties; judicial and procedural reform; and the updating of the economic model, although most of the legal norms have transversal effects in all areas,” he stressed.
He meant that in this matter there is still much to be done, because the schedule of the current legislature is scheduled until December 2027, and contemplates, up to this moment, some 46 laws and 19 decree laws.
“We are working at a good pace in the planning of some proposals and others take more analysis, due to the complexity of the issues to reconcile, which imposes challenges on us in the legislative exercise, but with the commitment to comply with the people in the implementation of the Constitution and the updating of the country's legal system,” he meant.
In the plenary session of the ANPP, this Wednesday, the member of the Political Bureau and Prime Minister, Manuel Marrero Cruz, will present information on the progress of the Government's action plan to implement measures to correct distortions and boost the economy in 2024; the progress of the economy at the end of the first semester; and the execution of the State Budget for this year, and the liquidation of the Budget for 2023 will be updated.
