The Senate committee advanced the Accountability Bill and will send it to the plenary on the 21st
According to Subrayado, nearly seven out of every ten articles were backed by the Broad Front and opposition sectors. The governing coalition kept unchanged the text that had come from the Chamber of Deputies.
The Senate committee approved the Accountability Bill this Friday and left it ready for consideration in the plenary of the Upper House on Monday the 21st, Subrayado reported.
According to that outlet, nearly 70% of the articles received the joint support of the Broad Front and the opposition. The rest was voted on by the governing coalition and, in some cases, also had the backing of senators from the National Party or the Colorado Party.
Subrayado also noted that the Broad Front decided not to introduce or accept changes to the text that had already been approved in the Chamber of Deputies, where the governing coalition secured a majority after an agreement with Cabildo Abierto.
According to the same information, National and Colorado lawmakers submitted dozens of changes to the bill that came out of Deputies, but the governing majority in the Senate rejected those proposals.
