Amid widespread opposition from the public, the government and the House of Representatives (DPR) have put forth a variety of propositions to accelerate the deliberation of the omnibus bill on job creation to smooth is passage into law. Now that the bill has been enacted, the public\'s hopes rest in the Constitutional Court.

The omnibus bill on job creation, which has received widespread public opposition, has been finally passed into law by the House of Representatives. The public appears to have been "tricked", because the House Deliberative Council decided in a matter of hours to hold a plenary meeting earlier than planned on Monday (5/10/2020) to close the first session of the 2020-2021 DPR and pass the bill at the same time.
