With the resolution, the plenary session of the National Assembly orders the CAL to qualify the two bills that were presented by the Pachakutik and Unión por la Esperanza (UNES) blocs, which seek to repeal the tax law and continue with ordinary procedure in the National Assembly.
The CAL, in a session held on January 28, approved a previous motion presented by Assemblywoman Yeseña Guamaní (ID), to suspend the qualification of the organic law project repealing the organic decree law for economic development and fiscal sustainability, until that the council can count on a pronouncement of the Constitutional Court as the highest body of constitutional interpretation that establishes the scope of the rule contained in the final paragraph of article 140 of the Constitution.

Debate
The inclusion of this point in the agenda of the 765th session was intended to deactivate the action announced by UNES, PSC and the Pachakutik rebel group, who seek to form an evaluation commission of the members of the CAL chaired by Guadalupe Llori.
The non-qualification of these two projects and the delay in the debate of the proposals to repeal the tax reform are among Llori’s breaches, for which the opponents warned against investigating his actions.
In the debate, the legislator Pabel Muñoz (UNES) raised a motion to provide the CAL with the qualification of the repeal projects; that an evaluation commission be created and that it formulate the pertinent recommendations. The resolution contemplated the members of that table and recommended following the procedure established in the regulations. Evaluation is not synonymous with conspiracy, he said.
However, that motion was not qualified by the president of the Assembly, Guadalupe Llori, who said that it is irrelevant because it does not fit and has nothing to do with the subject referred to in the item on the agenda.
He added that the motion cannot be submitted to the consideration of the full Assembly, as it is impertinent, and also stated that “in reality, this commission is formed to dismiss and not to evaluate.”
In the morning, the president of the Parliament, accompanied by a group of legislators from Pachakutik, gave a press conference, in which she said that she does not cling to the position of president of the National Assembly, but that she will defend democracy and the stability of the functions of the State.
