Economy Commission Rejects Granting Executive Powers

The Economy Commission, a key advisory body, formally rejected the proposal to grant executive powers in a report released on September 13, 2026. The report outlined specific concerns about the concentration of authority and the risk of bypassing legislative checks. The decision was reached after a series of closed-door meetings and consultations with various stakeholders. The report did not specify the exact powers in question, but sources indicate the proposal involved significant regulatory and fiscal authority. The rejection has led to calls for a reevaluation of the proposal, with some political figures urging a return to the legislative process. The Economy Commission's stance has also drawn criticism from certain factions within the government. Antara and El-Comercio both reported the event, though they did not provide additional details on the specific powers or the political factions involved. The sources did not diverge in their reporting of the event itself.
