Lawmakers will hold the first meeting of a congressional commission on Thursday that could discuss President Javier Milei’s controversial mega-decree, following a lengthy dispute over its composition under the new government. The Permanent Bicameral Legislative Procedure Commission is a parliamentary body composed of members of both chambers. The newly-appointed members will meet for the first time on Thursday to formally launch the commission and appoint its leaders. Unlike the rest of the commissions in Congress, the Legislative Procedure Commission is supposed to be available permanently, including during summer recess. “The [Legislative Procedure Commission] could now meet and reach a verdict,” deputy and new commission member Ana Carolina Gaillard told the Herald.
