I am struggling with the Google translation on this a bit but it sounds like this article is saying that the CA will be in recess between July 26th and September 28th but would still be convened if need be during that period to discuss "matters of emergency".

The article also states that the "Assembly is complicated approval, until July 26, traffic laws, Procurement and reforms to the Tax Equity Act." ... something funky with the Google translation here so I am not sure if this is referring to items that the CA will be dealing with up to July 26th. No mention of the new mining law.

Other articles that I've been reading seem to indicate that the "Congresillo" would be a transitional legislative body that would function between the referendum and elections to take place next year. I had previously been of the impression that the Congresillo would function during the period between the dissolution of the CA and the referendum and would be appointed through the president's office.

Would appreciate comments/feedback from anyone that is more adept at decifering Google translation or, better yet, understands Spanish.

The Assembly was declared in recess until the referendum

From July 26 until September 28, the 130 assembly will be convened by the Head of State or the holder of the Assembly sessions extras.

The Mandate 1, whereby the Assembly declared in recess to Congress in November 2007, is the argument for the 130 assembly are extended in office until the referendum approving the new constitution, scheduled for next September 28.

That at least is the first step in the roadmap block oficialista raised Country Agreement within the so-called transitional regime, once the work of the Assembly on July 26.

During that time (July 26 to September 28), the holder of the Assembly or the President may convene an extraordinary plenary session of the Constituent to discuss matters of emergency.

So yesterday revealed the owner of the Assembly, Fernando Cordero, in an interview with representatives of four national dailies.

The reasoning is that the Mandate 1 established that the House-using its full powers-legislative functions assumed until the proclamation of results of the referendum and not just until the completion of its period of operation (eight months).

Hence, that date coincides with the end of the recess of the deputies who, if it wins, not returning to their duties.

Lamb clarified that laws and mandates approved by the Assembly are and shall remain in force regardless of the outcome of the referendum. "Any amendment or repeal these provisions should make the new Congress or National Assembly," he said, and clarified that the Assembly is complicated approval, until July 26, traffic laws, Procurement and reforms to the Tax Equity Act.

And it is that the political calculation of officialdom is essential to underpin the campaign by itself, with the threat that achieve a result contrary generate a return of the deputies.

Hence, for example, that at the last meeting of heads of block, Assemblyman Diana Acosta (former Country Agreement) proposed to be included by a transient that Congress did not resume their duties. “No se debe poner miedos a la gente para intentar direccionar el voto”, dijo. "Do not put fear in people to try to address the vote," he said.
