Senate

Passed

194Yes 0No 154Not voted 348 seats

For: 194 / 348 seats (55.7%)

Against: 0 · Abstained: 0 · Not voted: 154

50.1% of those voting must vote in favour (actual = 100.0%)

Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Movimiento Liberal Nacional	0	Yes	busca modernizar regulaciones y reducir costos para las empresas (por ejemplo, limitando garantías legales de corta duración y flexibilizando las protecciones para autónomos y plataformas en lugar de cargarlos con costos fijos de empleados plenos). Eso encaja bastante bien con la desregulación económica y la reducción de cargas empresariales que busca un partido liberal
The Left	0	No	We can't support this proposal because it mixes many different issues. We can support article 3 and 4 but not the other articles
The Marianne Liberty Alliance Proposer	59	Yes	No reason given
The National Refoundation Front	135	Yes	For too long, the dead hand of state overreach has burdened our businesses with suffocating regulations and smothered initiative under mountains of utopian entitlements. This bill cuts through that bureaucratic red tape. By freeing the gig economy from rigid, job-destroying employee classifications, it restores the flexibility that allows enterprise to flourish and create wealth.
