By first time since the debate on the Omnibus Law began, The ruling party opened a negotiation table with the “dialogue” opposition to begin polishing the project and agreeing on the modifications, although La Libertad Avanza would have to wait another week to sign an opinion in the commissions.
He Dialogue was unlocked in a meeting of almost four hours in the offices of the president of the Chamber, Martín Menem, where representatives of the Executive Branch and deputies of the PRO, the UCR and We Make the Federal Coalitionthe three blocks predisposed to accompany the initiative on the premises.
He Executive sent the vice chief of staff, Juan Rolandiand other technical officials who report to the Secretary of Energy, Eduardo Rodriguez Chirilloin addition to the Secretary of Parliamentary Relations, Omar De Marchi from Mendoza.
There were, among others, the deputies Silvia Lospennato and Diego Santilli for the PRO; Karina Banfi, Soledad Carrizo and Mariela Coletta for the UCR; and Juan Manuel López and Paula Oliveto for We Make the Federal Coalition.
The people that is here They reviewed the first 100 articles, although the bulk of the meeting was focused on the issue of the delegation of powers to President Javier Milei. The three opposition blocs insisted on limiting it to fewer subjects (they ask to withdraw pension, health and defense) and for less time. The Executive promised to give a refund.
The five “reds” of the traffic light that the dialogueists of the Omnibus Law reject
Anyway, Both the PRO, the UCR and We Make the Federal Coalition insisted on rejecting the five “reds” of the traffic light: In addition to the broad delegation of powers, they will not miss the suspension of retirement mobility, the increase in withholdings, closed-book privatizations or electoral reform.
The message they brought to Menem was clear: If the ruling party does not retouch these articles, they will not accompany the majority opinion and would present their own. For this reason and for the number of articles that remain to be analyzed (more than 500), La Libertad Avanza, which wanted to settle the process in committees this Friday, would have to wait until next week.
For now, This Tuesday the tripartite table between the PEN, the official bloc and the non-Kirchnerist opposition will meet once more to advance the economic axis of the project, which includes critical points such as export duties, retirement mobility and money laundering.
Surprise in the Opposition due to the “good predisposition”
The opposition was surprised by the Government’s “good willingness” to accept the proposals, the other way around of the renewed threats of Milei, who this Sunday called the deputies “leftists,” asked them to “put on their long pants” and warned that “if the megalaw is not approved, the market will take its toll.”
The president’s statements do not seem to alter the collaborative spirit. We make the Federal Coalition, the bloc where schiarettism / llaryorism lives, he released a statement where he urged Milei to “stop confronting Congress,” but stated: “We guarantee collaboration to sustain governability without creating obstacles, trying to contribute to the legal and political disorder that is generated by the Executive Branch itself.”
The head of the radical bloc, Rodrigo De Loredo, had expressed himself in similar terms: “The president’s statements are not going to intimidate our behavior, which despite the systematic grievances, finds us in the position of giving the government the legal tools it needs to carry out his government plan without excesses.”
The plenary session of commissions in Deputies continued
Meanwhile, this Monday the fourth plenary session of the General Legislation, Constitutional Affairs and Budget and Finance commissions was held, with almost 70 speakers from different sectors of civil society, who participated in person and virtually. This Tuesday there will be another meeting with more guests, and then it will be the turn of the debate between the deputies.
Among the presentations, that of the general secretary of the CGT stood out Hector Daer. “The institutions today depend on this house. On the 24th we are going to come to support them so that they have the courage to say ‘no’ to the omnibus law and ‘no’ to the DNU,” he stressed.
Invited by the Unión por la Patria bloc, the unionist maintained that “when everything is proposed for debate it is because they do not want to debate anything,” and warned that “this cramming with so many articles that have to do with the substance of the administration “Public affairs and the functioning of the Republic cannot be resolved in two sittings.”
The harangue of Rodolfo Llanos, from the Association of Entrepreneurs
The plenary session had its peak of tension when Rodolfo Llanos, from the Association of Entrepreneurs, invited by the PRO, spoke. “You are here in the Chamber so that Argentines have a place to live! “They are here so that all Argentinians who work can pay for a plate of food!” He told the deputies.
Llanos (whose energetic presentation was replicated in X by Milei) shouted at Germán Martínez and Mario “Paco” Manrique, from Unión por la Patria. “Outside, half of Argentines are below the poverty line and you know it! They have enacted laws that have led the country to absolute poverty! ”He exclaimed.
Representatives of biofuel chambers, COVIAR (Argentine Wine Corporation), CONINAGRO, CIPPEC, university authorities and representatives of retirees, SMEs, real estate agencies, travel agencies, the film, pharmaceutical and brewing industries, among others, also attended the plenary session.
