About Us
The Directorate of Legislative Issues is a mission direction belonging to the Vice Ministry of Political Relations, comprised of a group of integral, ethical and competent Law and Political Science professionals committed to good governance, administrative efficiency, transparency and social responsibility, devoted to develop the necessary actions to strengthen the relations between the State Government and the Legislative Branch, and to promote the legislative initiatives of the Executive’s interest.
What We Do
The Directorate of Legislative Issues supports the Minister in the coordination of the State Government’s legislative agenda before the National Congress in order to strengthen the relations of the executive and the legislative branches by tracking and promoting the legislative initiatives of the Executive’s interest. Likewise, it coordinates the political control that the Legislative enforces over the Minister.
Our dependency is divided in two groups that contribute our strengthening:
