On October 9, the second edition of the Parliamentary Chronicle Contest was held. To participate, students had to attend a session of plenary session of the Executive Council, at schedule in the morning or afternoon, and write a chronicle or report about it.

The contest is convened in the framework of the agreement signed between the Parliament and the University of Navarra for the activities of this course. issue This year, the number of participants in the contest has tripled compared to the first edition, held two years ago, in which 32 students participated. Javier Marrodán, professor of the subject of News Journalism Genres, explains that the contest has been designed thinking, above all, in the students of his subject "because it coincides with the subject of programmed practices". Precisely one of them is to produce a report from the attendance to an event, so it was decided that all students attend the plenary session of the Executive Council. For Professor Marrodán, the challenge of covering a session in Parliament is to "make what is important interesting", which is only possible with a previous documentation task.

Carlos Gil, Head of the Press Service, Publications and protocol of the Parliament of Navarre, states that the activities of agreement "aim to bring the parliamentary institution closer to university students". "With this, we want students/future journalists to get to know the Parliament, a fundamental institution in the organization of the political and democratic community, and that on a real status , as is the presence in a plenary session, they can make a internship that allows them to work on a new experience," explains Gil. " We want to know how the university students see the Legislative Chamber, how they reflect their first contact with the activity of the representatives of the Navarrese society", he concludes.

The students were divided into two shifts, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, for attend to attend the session. In order to attend it was necessary to get accreditation beforehand by sending the National Identity Card to one of the internship teachers.

At 9:00 a.m., average hour before the start of the plenary session of the Executive Council, about sixty students were queuing up to pass through the security checkpoint and enter the Chamber. Although the agenda could be consulted beforehand on the Parliament's website, all the printed documentation was provided to the students before the session began. It was not necessary to cover the entire plenary session of the Executive Council, students could focus on one or more of the items discussed. The guest box was not sufficient to accommodate the students, who mingled with other attendees at plenary session of the Executive Council, such as members of Representación Cannábica de Navarra. One of the points of the agenda was, precisely, the popular initiative presented by this group.
