Chamber of Deputies reorganizes committees due to absences

Ten days after the start of the second ordinary legislative session of 2026, the National Congress of the Dominican Republic is progressing at a slow pace. In response, the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate have scheduled a reorganization of their permanent committees for Wednesday.

The primary measure involves removing legislators who have accumulated absences from these permanent bodies. This administrative restructuring aims to address legislative sluggishness and ensure active participation within the committees.
