The Jujuy Legislature formally established nearly all of its permanent commissions on April 7, setting the stage for parliamentary work as each commission prepares to define its agenda and begin addressing incoming legislative projects.
The formation of these commissions is a key step in organizing the legislative process, as they will be responsible for reviewing and advancing bills or other matters submitted to the legislature. Each commission will now determine its priorities and schedule discussions accordingly.
The Justicialist Party bloc secured leadership of three commissions: Transport and Communications, chaired by Rubén Rivarola; Public Works and Services, led by Noemí Isasmendi; and Environment, which is expected to be headed by Daniela Vélez. The Fitu bloc presides over the Commission on Equal Opportunities with a Gender Perspective under Natalia Morales. Primero Jujuy retained control of the Economy Commission with Carlos Haquim at its helm.
La Libertad Avanza obtained two commissions: Social Affairs, chaired by María Laura Tome Gamez, and Human Rights, led by Matías Paterno. The Frente Jujuy Crece maintained leadership of eight commissions including Institutional Affairs (Gisel Bravo), General Legislation (Adriano Morone), Finance (Guido Luna), Public Health (Omar Gutiérrez), Education (Mary Ferrin), Culture and Tourism (Mariela Ortiz), Labor and Social Security (Ramón Neyra), with Indigenous Peoples also likely to be chaired within this group.
With these appointments in place, each commission is set to start defining its working plan for the legislative period ahead.
