Overview
- The executive says it will formally submit a cabinet‑approved request for delegated legislative powers imminently, setting up a first major clash with Congress.
- The government lacks a guaranteed majority in the Chamber of Deputies and must win at least ten opposition votes to reach a simple majority if all deputies attend.
- A left‑bloc that won the Deputies' leadership holds 74 votes and is positioned to claim presidencies of crucial commissions such as Constitution, Economy, and Energy and Mines.
- The Senate remains evenly split, giving the right an opening to use its seven commissions and the Senate presidency to review or block proposals before they reach a full vote.
- Opposition caucuses say they will wait to see the official text and demand concrete policy measures, while parliamentary rules mean an urgent request would trigger a 15 business‑day debate window and commissions can be used to delay or reroute the process.
