In addition to the investment law, the Executive has a labor reform proposal on its agenda , about which last Tuesday (April 5, 2022) the President said that it did not make sense to send it to the Legislative if the Government is going to be subject to pressure and blackmail for its approval.
Diego Ordóñez , presidential adviser, highlighted this April 7 in an interview on Teleamazonas that one of the questions will be about security. He pointed out that there are some provisions within the Constitution and laws that end up favoring impunity for organized crime.
He also anticipated that there will be a question regarding the Council for Citizen Participation and Social Control (CPCCS), an organization that has generated "submissive authorities," he stressed.
