The Senate Plenary met on Friday to draw up the outlines of the action plan for the first ordinary parliamentary session of 2023.

One day after the constitution of the tables of the National Parliament and the opening of the Third Legislature of the Senate and Ninth of the Chamber of Deputies, the Plenary Session of the Senate met, chaired by Teresa Efua Asangono, who was accompanied by the First and Second Vice Presidents, Ángel Serafín Seriche Dougan Malabo and Agustín Nze Nfumu, with whom she gave instructions and guidance to the senators on the operation and working methodology of this high legislative body, particularly to the new parliamentarians who recently took up their seats.

As it was the first plenary session to be held after taking up their seats, the occasion served, in addition to presenting themselves as senators, for an exchange of points of view in response to the trust that the electorate has placed in them through the Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea and its Democratic Coalition.

In that sense, the highest authority of the Upper House, Teresa Efua Asangono, reiterated that the Senate is an intersection for constructive debates and consensus, where various political positions come face to face to reach a common goal that is the promotion of the well-being of the people of Equatorial Guinea.

To conclude, even though the quota of 35 percent of the integration of women in the bicameral parliament has not been reached, as was pointed out by the parliamentarians, they took advantage of the session to thank the Head of State H. E. Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and the First Lady of the Nation, Constancia Mangue de Obiang, for complying with one of the resolutions issued at the Seventh Ordinary Congress of the PDGE held in Bata in 2021.
