On Thursday, the deputies of the National Assembly approved the bill on the Supervision, Regulation, Action and Financing of Non-Governmental Organizations and Non-Profit Social Organizations.
The aforementioned legal instrument was approved unanimously. After this step, according to the norm, the aforementioned Law must be sent to the Executive for its promulgation.
It is important to note that the provisions of this Law establish that the Ministry of the Interior, Justice and Peace must establish and maintain a national registry of NGOs and non-profit social organizations, which must contain a systematization and update of information related to their constitution, financing, operation and modification.
It also establishes that NGOs and non-profit social organizations must obtain tax registration in compliance with tax legislation.
The purpose of this law is to review and monitor NGOs that receive funding, which in many cases have been used as instruments to attack the people and finance actions against our country.
Its articles clearly establish the responsibilities and duties of Non-Governmental and Related Organizations, as well as the regulations for their operation and financing.
