marrismo thinks he’s right timing of Javier Miley Submit this item to the House of Representatives. With less than a month until the end of the regular session, they know their treatment will come shortly before the 2025 midterm elections. Additionally, they mentioned the need for an agreement to bring about such reforms, which would require 129 votes. “It is healthy for our democracy that there is broad political consensus, but as far as we know, there is not yet”.
Government proposes project to abolish PASO, but must discuss in special session
Dictators don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That’s why it bothers those who think they have the truth.
Some doubt there is a deal and the question is whether it can be concluded so that issues can be discussed at a special meeting. lettrap The article stated, “It is as if this was a coordinated orchestration that occurred almost simultaneously with Milley’s submission of a bill to eliminate PASO to the House of Representatives. Sergio Massa’s Renewal Front has presented an initiative to the Buenos Aires legislature to suspend the activities next yearThe idea that La Libertad Avanza is negotiating with other ministries has circulated since it was confirmed that the government would follow this route.
Furthermore, in the city of Buenos Aires, La Libertad Avanza has just launched a similar project. legislator Pilar Ramírez, a woman trusted by Karina Milei, proposes the cancellation of primaries at the local level besides Amend financing law. She was accompanied by legislators from her field as well as PRO representatives, who responded to National Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, who also clashed with Macri.
Margarita Stolbizer: “Those who benefit from the elimination of PASO are Milei and Kirchnerism”
Macriism Understand the austerity argument. They reiterated that the party has always supported a single paper ballot, etc.. “With the recent approval of the law, we have saved 61% in printing ballots compared to PASO 2023,” said some of the party’s top leaders. They stressed that according to estimates by the National Electoral Service, expected expenditures from Cippec The reported estimate of $11.36 billion fell to $6.9 billion.
From a political perspective, PASO may be an instance where PROs can build close alliances. Eliminating this instance would force Macri’s party to compete directly with La Libertad Avanza, to which a large share of voters have switched, but also with other parties trying to compete for voters who don’t even want to go. ism, nor Peronism, such as the League, in which leaders such as Horacio Rodriguez Larretta y Martin Laustow and other “centre” leaders.

Blas’ Law Already Moved in House of Representatives: Another Step towards Approval
La Libertad Avanza, on the other hand, directly proposed suppressing the primaries. The ruling party believes that, first of all, this is an example of a sharp decline in citizen participation (78.67% in 2011 and 69% in 2023). Furthermore, they stressed that in this way parties would gain “the freedom to define their internal mechanisms” when selecting candidates.
If Milley’s initiative is approved, the electoral calendar will also be shortened. Without PASO, the listing should be submitted in August instead of May.

What are the possible consequences of abolishing PASO on Argentina’s democratic processes and voter representation?
**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Laura Fernández**
**Host:** Welcome, Dr. Fernández. Thank you for joining us today to discuss the recent developments regarding the proposed elimination of PASO.
**Dr. Fernández:** Thank you for having me. It’s an important topic that shapes the future of our electoral process.
**Host:** The ruling party, led by Javier Milei, has submitted a project to abolish the Primary, Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory elections. What are the main implications of this proposal?
**Dr. Fernández:** The elimination of PASO represents a significant shift in electoral strategy. By removing this mandatory primary stage, it could benefit certain political factions by streamlining candidate selection, but it compromises the broader democratic process, potentially diminishing voter choice.
**Host:** Allies of the ruling party have expressed discontent, claiming that changing the rules in an election year is not right. Why is timing so critical in politics, particularly with regard to this reform?
**Dr. Fernández:** Timing is crucial because it impacts public perception and voter reaction. In an election year, any changes can be seen as opportunistic manipulation, which could backfire against the ruling party. Moreover, with the midterms approaching, this proposal could be seen as a maneuver to consolidate power rather than enhance democracy.
**Host:** There’s been mention of the need for a broad political consensus. Is it realistic to expect such an agreement before the midterm elections considering the current political climate?
**Dr. Fernández:** Given the fragmented political landscape, achieving a broad consensus is challenging, especially when the stakes are high. Political parties often have conflicting interests, and without a genuine dialog, it’s difficult to find common ground. The current sentiment suggests that consensus is unlikely in the short term.
**Host:** Sergio Massa’s initiative to suspend activities next year seems to be a reaction to these developments. How do you see the opposition responding to Milei’s proposed changes?
**Dr. Fernández:** The opposition is likely to mobilize against the elimination of PASO, framing it as a blow to democratic representation. They may use public forums and media to raise awareness about the potential repercussions of such a decision, emphasizing the importance of maintaining voter choice and access to the electoral process.
**Host:** do you believe that these recent moves could lead to a more significant political realignment in the country?
**Dr. Fernández:** Absolutely. The backlash against such a controversial proposal could catalyze new alliances among opposition parties and even within factions of the ruling party itself. In the long run, these dynamics could reshape the political landscape, influencing strategies heading into future elections.
**Host:** Thank you, Dr. Fernández. Your insights are invaluable as we navigate these complex political changes.
**Dr. Fernández:** Thank you for having me. It’s an ongoing situation, and we’ll need to watch how it unfolds in the coming months.
