Lastly, lawmakers approved Bill No. 2907 (Public Sector Budget Law for Fiscal Year 2023), with 77 votes in favor, 11 against, and 13 abstentions.
The initiatives were approved on Wednesday night without the corresponding annexes since these documents were still being crafted by the Ministry of Economy-Finance (MEF) and their completion would have taken three hours —beyond the deadline.
According to the Constitution's Article 80, if the enrolled bill is not sent to the Executive Branch thru November 30, the draft of the latter enters into force, which is enacted via legislative decree.
