According to the statement from the Council of Ministers, this consultative body, created by presidential decree, will be responsible for organising the implementation plans for the actions provided for in the national strategy for preventing and combating terrorism, as well as for coordinating and articulating the points of contact for the various areas of intervention on the matter.
The Council of Ministers also considered proposals for legislation related to the Organic Law on General Elections to "adapt some rules of the current law, with a view to ensuring better organisation of electoral processes and greater electoral participation by citizens", on the organisation and functioning of the National Electoral Commission and on the unofficial voter registration, also with the aim of adapting some rules.
