To the harsh criticism of the elected tribunes of Together for Change María Fernanda Leiva and Beltrán Corvalánin its complaint that the reform of the organic law of the ruling party’s Court of Accounts seeks to “eliminate the control of public spending by the next governor and his ministers,” the challenge of the neighborhood legislator Álvaro Zamora Consigli was added due to a last-minute change introduced by the ruling party.
The We Do for Córdoba (HxC) bench will issue the majority office this followingnoon so that it arrives at the venue tomorrow. As PERFIL CÓRDOBA announced, the ruling party will advance with its approval in this Wednesday’s session, three weeks following losing the absolute majority, before the parity scenario of the new Unicameral.
The bulk of the opposition has already expressed its strong rejection. The Juntos UCR, Encuentro Vecinal Córdoba, Independiente and the two representatives of the left (MST and FIT-Unidad) blocs will be very critical of the ruling party’s advance on the supervisory body before losing their control in the hands of the opposition of Together for the change.
In yesterday’s plenary session of commissions, the HxC bench introduced a last-minute change in the text of the project that further fueled the controversy and redoubled the criticism of the opponents. Neighborhood activist Zamora Consigli took a hard line and stated that this “reveals the haste and precariousness of the official” project.
“For 24 years they did not need to make any reform to the Court of Accounts law because they were the majority. Now, as it changes hands, they realized that they need a law. The argument that they want to modernize is false. If you haven’t done it in 24 years, you don’t have to do it in two weeks,” the opponent launched.
Given the new regulatory framework that Peronism and its allies will approve, the neighborhood leader focused on the change to article 11 of the project referring to the two secretariats that make up the management structure of the supervisory body. This is the appointment of the officials at the head of the Legal Supervision Secretariat and the Budgetary Supervision Secretariat.
Another point of controversy
The neighborhood parliamentarian warned that “for 24 years, the secretaries were appointed by the majority vote of the Court of Accounts, that is, they were appointed by the majority. Now, since they are not going to have the majority, they want by law to establish that one be appointed by the majority, and another, by the minority.”
“It is absolutely undemocratic, because it should be elected by majority. No, one and one, creating a conchabo for each political party that is there,” questioned Zamora Consigli.
In his rejection of the official actions, the opponent remarked: “the argument that was heard (yesterday in committee) reveals the democratic poverty of the project, because the only thing that (the ruling party) is interested in is keeping a secretary. Nothing else”.
At the opening of yesterday’s commission plenary session, the head of the General Legislation commission, Julieta Rinaldi, reported the change in said articles.
“That the minority representative can appoint a secretary is because we saw that if the minority member got sick or was not there for two months there was no one to substitute him, therefore, there was no minority representation, in the event that Some important definition had to be taken in the Court of Accounts,” he argued.
Regarding opposition criticism for this modification due to the change of hands of control of the organization, Rinaldi highlighted: “We believe that it is very necessary for it to be reflected in the law for the future.” “We have to make a good law,” he added.
In his defense, From the ruling party they maintain that this project comes “to save the outdated laws of Law 7,630 and provide legal status to Resolution 180, dictated and signed by the three tribunes (the two for the majority and the member for the minority) in the year 2021, which contemplates modernization plans.”
The foundations also indicate that “the intention is to incorporate technology into the procedures necessary to comply with the constitutional precepts of this control body.”
