House of Representatives Postpones Controversial Personal Status and Local Administration Bills to Next Session to Seek Consensus

The House of Representatives indicates that the decision on key draft laws, such as the Personal Status Law and the Local Governance Law, has been postponed to the next legislative session. This is aimed at organizing community dialogues to reach consensus involving religious institutions, human rights organizations, and the public. The goal is to avoid enacting laws that could provoke societal divisions, particularly regarding issues such as divorce, alimony, and local elections. There are existing disagreements over the electoral system, financial and administrative powers, and it is expected that discussions will be repeated and further amendments will be prepared to ensure balance and consensus.
