Havana, July 12 (RHC)-- The National Assembly of People's Power (ANPP) of Cuba will develop next week an intense legislative and economic agenda, of importance for the life of the nation.   This according to the secretary of that body, Homero Acosta. 

The meeting is preceded by extensive work that included parliamentary visits to more than a thousand workplaces, institutions and communities, and tours of the deputies through municipalities and provinces of the country, Acosta noted the day before on the radio and television program Mesa Redonda.

He explained that at the meeting the proposals for laws on Citizenship, Migration and Immigration, as well as those on Administrative Procedure, Transparency and Access to Public Information, and the System of Honorary Titles and Decorations will be debated.

Delegates will also consider the draft policy for the socialist state enterprise law, which should be presented in the future, he noted.

Likewise, lay judges will be elected for the Supreme People's Court, the government of the central province of Villa Clara will be held accountable, and a group of deputies will take possession of vacant seats.

In addition, the official assured, the members of the National Electoral Commission, created to organize, direct and supervise elections, popular consultations, plebiscites and referendums, will be elected.

Addressing economic issues, Prime Minister Manuel Marrero will explain to the deputies the progress of the implementation of measures to correct distortions and reinvigorate the economy, he noted.

Closely related to that – he said – information on the economy will be provided in the first months of the year and an update on the execution of the budget and its settlement in 2023.

He commented that the issues that will be discussed respond to national problems, based on the powers and competencies of parliament, with the intention of finding effective solutions.

He assured that the Assembly and the Permanent Commissions have continuously checked compliance with the guidelines and decisions of the body.

According to the president of Constitutional and Legal Affairs of the ANPP, José Luis Toledo, the intense legislative activity is motivated by the entry into force of the new Constitution, in 2019, the need to develop its regulations, and by the role played by the decrees laws against the Law.  (Source: Prensa Latina)
