Guatemala Congress to address a series of initiatives

Guatemala City, Dec 5 (Prensa Latina) The Guatemalan Congress will address objections to the Law against Organized Crime and those of the National Civil Police and the General State Budget for 2025.

The deputies in the call will also process two initiatives to be sent to the corresponding commissions for study and opinion.

One of the projects is the Law for the protection and guarantee of digital rights, and another proposes modifications to the Organic Law of the Budget, Decree 101-97, and its reforms. Also discussed will be the proposals to prevent and punish the trafficking of girls, boys, and adolescents in the Penitentiary System, and the reforms to Decree 16-2010, Law of Alliances for the Development of Economic Infrastructure (Anadie Law); the project for the prevention and control of forest fires; the universal access to educational technology, and those aimed at preventing child sexual abuse.

Legislators will meet again, next Tuesday, to comply with the requirement established to receive the payment of nine thousand 600 quetzals (just over 1,200 dollars) as assistance.

Analysts said that the Board of Directors of the Parliament of Guatemala has an outline of an agenda that combines economic, social, political, and security issues, but made little progress in the year on substantive items due to the lack of consensus.
