- Chile's Chamber Interior Government Commission postponed a vote on a bill seeking to declare September 17 a national holiday.
- A regulatory issue prevented the proposal from being included for full consideration on Monday.
- Lawmakers from the governing coalition introduced the measure, which would add an extra day off.
A procedural error delayed consideration of a proposal to make Thursday, September 17, a national holiday in Chile.
The Chamber's Interior Government Commission did not reach a vote on Monday. The initiative could not be placed on the agenda with the status of full consideration because of a regulatory problem.
The proposal was introduced by lawmakers from the governing coalition and seeks to add another public holiday. The vote will therefore take place at a later stage.
