New parliament faces extensive legislative agenda starting in September

Following the general elections held in May, the newly elected parliament is preparing to tackle an ambitious and challenging legislative agenda when it convenes in September. Lawmakers are tasked with addressing both fresh bills introduced after the election and a significant backlog of unresolved issues carried over from the previous parliamentary term.

Key priorities include judicial reform, the strengthening of the Independent Anti-Corruption Authority, restructuring the financial system, and promoting renewable energy. Further legislative goals encompass new immigration laws and social measures, such as providing protections for tenants against excessive rent increases. The parliament is also mandated to revisit incomplete items from the past, specifically the separation of the Attorney General's powers, prison system reforms, the establishment of university clinics, and regulations regarding the hiring of nurses from third countries. Additional pending items include policies on real estate purchases by foreigners and the Loss of Use Fund.

These collective efforts represent a significant administrative and social undertaking for the legislature as it attempts to finalize institutional, social, and economic policies that were previously stalled. The session in September is expected to be a critical period for these long-standing legislative requirements to finally reach completion.
