Pueblo Soberano is pushing to remove a parliamentary tool that allows lawmakers to request reviews of matters before the Legislative Assembly. The party also wants to stop the repeated filing of motions.

Its deputy leader is additionally proposing shorter speaking times, reducing them to half or even one-third of their current duration. The aim is to change how debates and motions proceed in the chamber.

But changing the Assembly’s regulations will not be straightforward. The proposal faces an obstacle before the rules can be amended.
