The Chamber of Deputies will resume its activities next week with the formation of 18 commissions, although the ruling party will maintain control of the main advisory bodies to advance its parliamentary agenda. The commissions are key to passing laws, as they are responsible for studying and issuing reports that are debated in the session hall, which is why it is crucial to hold their presidencies to define the topics to be addressed. In December, 9 management commissions were created, which fell to La Libertad Avanza, and now it will add four more substantial commissions for the LLA. Legislative sources told the Argentine News Agency that between Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 18 commissions will be constituted, of which 9 will be for Peronism, 4 for La Libertad Avanza, 3 for the Forces of Change -made up of PRO, UCR, MID, and For Santa Cruz- and 2 for the United Interblock (Federal Encounter, United Provinces, and Civic Coalition). However, the bodies that will correspond to Peronism are those that 'theoretically' do not set the agenda, although sometimes a topic may emerge that begins to have public impact, as happened last year with disability. The La Libertad Avanza list includes the presidencies of the Budget and Finance, Criminal Legislation, Justice, Natural Resources, Foreign Relations, Mercosur, Constitutional Affairs, Labor Legislation, and Family, Youth, and Childhood commissions. Now, the ruling party will add the General Legislation -where Santiago Santurio is expected to remain in his post-, Disability, Energy and Fuels, and Social Action and Public Health commissions. For the opposition forces, the presidencies of the Agriculture, Culture; Small and Medium Enterprises; Commerce; Older Persons; Industry; Economy, Analysis and Monitoring of Compliance with Tax and Pension Norms; Transport; Social Action, Education; Population and Human Development; Women and Diversity; Housing and Urban Planning; Agriculture and Livestock; and Cooperative, Mutual and Non-Governmental Affairs commissions will remain. It was even learned that the Education commission will remain in the hands of the Macriist and former minister Alejandro Finocchiaro, and that the United Provinces aspired to the presidency of Agriculture, since the deputies of that block are from provinces linked to agribusiness, such as Santa Fe and Córdoba. Agenda. Tuesday, March 17: Culture; Small and Medium Enterprises; General Legislation, Commerce; Older Persons; Industry; and Economy. Wednesday, March 18: Analysis and Monitoring of Compliance with Tax and Pension Norms; Transport; Social Action and Public Health; Education; Population and Human Development; and Energy and Fuels. Thursday, March 19: Women and Diversity; Disability, Housing and Urban Planning; Agriculture and Livestock; and Cooperative, Mutual and Non-Governmental Affairs.
