More Than One Thousand 600 Bills Pending in the Puebla State Assembly of Meksika

The Puebla state Congress of Meksika is facing a serious legislative delay issue. Newly made appointment decisions and administrative changes are increasing the pressure on the assembly to rapidly resolve its accumulated work. According to the institution's official data, only 317 of the bin 936 submitted bills have been approved. The remaining bin 619 bills are still waiting for the evaluation and decision-making process. This rate shows that only 16.4 percent of all bills addressed in the assembly have been approved.

The figure who brought the situation to attention was Delfina Pozos Vergara, a deputy from the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Vergara stated that many important bills that would have a high societal impact were being kept waiting in the repository. The deputy attributed this slowdown to the performance of the former General Director of Legal Affairs, Studies, and Legislative Projects, Jesús Juárez Lezama. According to Vergara, this delay also prevents the resolution of various problems faced by the public. For this reason, she emphasized that the issue must be addressed urgently.

Pozos Vergara made an official request for expedited action to mobilize the assembly management. With her second submission to the Board of Management and Political Coordination, she requested that the legal unit be instructed to expedite the evaluation processes of the bills. The deputy reminded that the 180-day legal period envisaged for various motions has expired. Vergara stated that there are numerous bills and points of agreement waiting for a solution in the assembly. This initiative stands out as part of the efforts to increase the efficiency of the legislative body.

This legislative slowdown is not limited to bills; it also affects other assembly decisions. According to congressional records, 372 of the total 833 submitted requests and points of agreement were approved and put into effect. However, the remaining 461 issues are still waiting to be processed. The progress rate in this area remains at only 44.7 percent. Experts and opposition deputies state that these statistics indicate a serious administrative and legislative bottleneck in the assembly. It is argued that these issues, which concern various segments of society, should be resolved as soon as possible.

In hopes of changing this negative picture, Jesús Ignacio Becerra Rojas Vértiz was appointed to the position of General Director of Legal Affairs. Officials and Pozos Vergara believe that this new appointment will revive the stalled processes in the assembly. The expectation from Becerra Rojas Vértiz is to alleviate the massive accumulated legislative burden and to finalize the proposals awaiting enactment as soon as possible. It is aimed for these laws, which will provide solutions to the daily problems of the Puebla public, to enter into force rapidly. Whether the new management will bring the assembly's work to the desired speed and efficiency level will become clear in the coming days.
