Overview
- Six lower‑house commissions have issued consultative reports opposing the Executive’s request for 120 days of delegated legislative powers, a series of rejections that moves the file to the Comisión de Constitución for a binding dictamen.
- The Comisión de Justicia produced a consultative report that said the package failed to meet the Constitution’s requirement for material precision, arguing the security and criminal‑law items were too vague to permit delegation.
- The plenary admitted an interpellation motion against Interior Minister César Astudillo after the lower‑house vote produced 50 in favor, 65 against and one abstention, and the minister is summoned to answer questions on Sept. 17.
- Defense Minister Rafael Belaunde presented a proposal to broaden legal criteria so the Armed Forces could treat some criminal groups as 'hostile' or 'military objectives,' a shift that raises legal, humanitarian and oversight concerns under international law.
- In sport, Cienciano beat Montevideo City Torque 2‑0 in the Sudamericana first leg and will play the return on Sept. 17, while forward Alejandro Hohberg was seen leaving with an orthopedic boot and faces a possible soleus strain with a four to eight week recovery time pending the club’s medical report.
