The Minister of Economy and presidential candidate of Unión por la Patria, Sergio Massacelebrated the half-sanction of Deputies to the bill Income Tax reform. Likewise, he criticized the “political timing” of justice following the rulings that revoked the dismissal of Cristina Kirchner in two cases and had a clash with journalists from TN.
After the Federal Court of Criminal Cassation revoked the dismissal of the vice president in the case Hotesur-Los Sauces and also in the cause of Memorandum with Iranand in both he ordered the oral trial to be held, Massa pointed out once morest the timing of the judicial decision.
“It strikes me that in the middle of the electoral political process these situations appear, as if accidentally, and have not been resolved three months ago or within 60 days. The political timing of some rulings seems to be intended to influence the electoral process“, he expressed in dialogue with TN.
Along these lines, he pointed out that “Cristina has the right to defend herself like any citizen.” “Many times they play with that of pardon or non-pardon. Cristina has the right to defend her position in an independent justice system, not to make decisions looking at the electoral calendar, but rather for her to make decisions looking at the file,” she added.
Likewise, he questioned judicial times: “Let’s forget regarding cases that involve politicians, it cannot be that a ruling that condemns a rapist or murderer takes 5 or 6 years.”

At another point, he also gave indications of the president’s future Alberto Fernandez in case Massa becomes President: “I have not spoken with him regarding what task he imagines himself in. I do not think he will be a public office in Argentina. I know him and I know that is thinking more regarding the international issue“.
When asked if he liked Alberto Fernández’s government, he commented: “Everything I didn’t like, I talked regarding face to face. Some like to discuss things in the media.”
Massa’s crossing with TN journalists
At one point during the interview, he had a spicy exchange with the journalists Nicolás Wiñazki and Santiago Fioriti. “Then you get angry when some leader of another political force treats you in a derogatory manner. I am not going to disqualify you. Just as sometimes you let other leaders speak who are asked a question and let them explain, I would like them to Let me explain,” said Massa.
Along these lines, he continued: “If not, what ends up happening is that they invite other leaders, they let them do their recitation of explanations and some other leaders of other political forces don’t. And then they get angry when we don’t give them interviews. The problem is that you are very demanding with some and not very demanding with others.“.
“It is not our case,” Wiñazki replied and Massa continued: “If you want, I can give you examples and I will send you videos of some other interviews tomorrow.”
Massa celebrated the approval of Profits and will send the project on the VAT refund
The presidential candidate of Unión por la Patria and Minister of Economy was in the Chamber of Deputies to witness the debate on the Income Tax reform project that he presented last week.
The head of the Treasury Palace was first in the office of the president of the lower house, Cecilia Moreautogether with the head of Customs, Guillermo Michel; and the director of the AFIP, Carlos Castagneto.
According to reports, the Minister of Economy and officials “are working on sending the Law that refunds VAT to monotributistas, retirees and workers“.
Massa’s idea is reissue what happened with Profitssince he first raised the floor through a decree and then sent a project to Congress to be sanctioned and for the law to govern – if approved – from 2024.
“Dunga-dunga”, a red card and the wooden lollipop: pearls left by the debate to reform Profits
Regarding the refund of VAT up to 18 thousand pesos per month, the Minister of Economy implemented the measure with a resolution starting this week and might now send a rule to Parliament.
Then, when the rule was regarding to be voted on, Massa moved to one of the boxes in the lower house, where he stood next to the leaders of the CGT, Héctor Daer, Pablo Moyano and Carlos Acuña.
The Minister of Economy celebrated the vote and hugged the general secretaries of the CGT, who mobilized the militancy at the doors of Congress to accompany the discussion and support the project.
“What everyone working has to know is that from now until the end of the year they will not pay Income Tax because the decree is in place. Up to $1,770,000 is all exempt,” Massa later said in an interview in C5N.
“In the Together for Change block there was a lot of confusion. In his government they said they were going to eliminate profits and the workers ended up paying double. They had a chance to redeem themselves. The La Libertad Avanza’s position was more genuineunderstood that it was a tax reduction and they accompanied it,” he added.
In that sense, he added: “Argentina needs a reform of the tax system. It requires greater simplification, the merchant has to make a payment to pay the tax due dates. Sometimes there is overlap between the Nation, province and municipality with taxes. There is double or triple taxation on the same product”.
On the other hand, he questioned the proposal for the free carrying of weapons, mainly commented by Javier Milei: “Security is a responsibility of the State so that these crazy ideas of the free sale of weapons are promoted. We also say it is of no use having the patrolman and the policeman if we have him taking a nap at the gas station standing on the corner.”
