The Legislative Administration Council (CAL) with five votes in favor qualified this March 17 the two bills that propose to repeal the tax law.
The two qualified proposals were presented in November and December 2021 and correspond to legislators Patricia Sánchez, Ángel Maita and Salvador Quishpe (Pachakutik), and UNES Assemblywoman Vivian Veloz.
The law that the two legislative groups intend to repeal includes the new taxes that are in force and that have been the target of criticism by the same political and economic sectors.
The rating of these proposals is made after the plenary a week ago ordered the CAL to rate the two initiatives.
Initially, the administrative body approved a prior motion raised by the delegates of the Democratic Left to refer it to the Constitutional Court for consultation if the National Assembly can process a project to repeal an urgent economic law of the Executive that came into force with the publication in the Official register.
That position led the Legislature to a confrontation of forces that even threatened the stability of Guadalupe Llori as president of Parliament.
These two projects will be processed by the Economic Development Commission, chaired by Daniel Noboa (EU).
According to a press release, after the qualification of the two projects, the president of the legislature commented that the CAL has transparently complied with its powers, within what the Constitution and the law mandate.
That all legal channels were proposed for the democratic and responsible treatment of the tax reform, which trusts in the deliberative capacity of the plenary session to make the most appropriate decision.
For the qualification of the two projects, the five assembly members availed themselves of article 140 of the Constitution, paragraph three, which establishes that the National Assembly may at any time modify or repeal any bill classified as urgent in economic matters that has been enacted and published in the Official Registry as a decree law, without a pronouncement from Parliament.
