Deputies from different congressional parties decided to group together and form a “multi-party body.” According to the legislators, the group is currently made up of 33 district legislators, coordinated by Inés Castillo, elected by the Unidad Nacional de la Esperanza (UNE) and Thelma Ramírez, who won a seat with the Vamos party.
The dissidents argued that this does not mean that they are leaving their seats, but rather that the decision was made “in favor of the people’s causes,” since the legislative agenda has been paralyzed.
“We want to strengthen legislative work in Congress…those of us here have been supporting legislative initiatives,” Ramírez said.
The legislator added that the 33 are grouped together to provide governance to the departments they represent and announced that they will support changes to the laws on Senior Citizens and Competition, as well as to give viability to water regulations.
“We invite other deputies who want to be part of this body to be able to debate all those issues that are of importance,” the legislator reiterated.
The approved agenda
The deputies approved the Law for the disposal of unusable movable property of the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance. The legislation provides for the freeing up of physical spaces in buildings that comprise health care services.
According to the article, all ferrous and non-ferrous furniture, equipment, and in general, non-expendable goods that are unused, in poor condition or obsolete are declared unusable goods.
The exemption from VAT, tariffs and other taxes on imports, donations and purchases made by the Narcotics Affairs and Law Enforcement Section of the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala was also approved.
The law stipulates that purchases must be for projects that reduce drug demand, combat illicit drug trafficking and other organized crime offenses.

– What impact will the multiparty body have on Guatemala’s legislative process?
Guatemalan Legislators Unite to Speed Up Parliamentary Agenda
In a bid to break the legislative stalemate, 33 district legislators from various parties have come together to form a “multiparty body” aimed at expediting the parliamentary agenda. This unprecedented move is seen as a proactive step towards tackling the country’s pressing issues and strengthening governance in the departments they represent.
Breaking Away from Partisan Politics
According to the legislators, the decision to form this multiparty body is not a defection from their respective parties, but rather a commitment to prioritize the interests of the people. They argue that the legislative agenda has been paralyzed, and it’s essential to put aside partisan differences to drive progress.
Legislative Agenda Takes Center Stage
Thelma Ramírez, one of the coordinators of the multiparty body, emphasized that the 33 legislators are committed to supporting key initiatives, including changes to the laws on Senior Citizens and Competition, as well as water regulations. This unified front is expected to inject new life into the legislative process, paving the way for much-needed reforms.
Reaching Out to Like-Minded Deputies
Ramírez extended an invitation to other deputies who share the same vision to join the multiparty body, encouraging open debate and collaboration on critical issues. This inclusive approach is expected to foster a more constructive dialogue and accelerate the passage of key legislation.
Recent Legislative Achievements
The multiparty body has already notched up some significant successes, including the approval of the Law for the disposal of unusable movable property of the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance. This legislation aims to free up physical spaces in healthcare facilities, promoting more efficient use of resources.
Additionally, the deputies approved the exemption from VAT, tariffs, and other taxes on imports, donations, and purchases made by the Narcotics Affairs and Law Enforcement Section of the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala. This move is expected to bolster efforts to combat drug trafficking and organized crime.
A New Era of Cooperation
The formation of the multiparty body marks a significant shift towards cooperation and collaboration in Guatemalan politics. By putting aside partisan differences and working together, these legislators are demonstrating their commitment to the people’s causes and paving the way for a more effective and responsive government.
