The internal with Luis Caputo
The long lead-up to his arrival in the national cabinet fueled rumors for months of a Alleged bad relationship between the brand new minister of deregulation and Luis Caputo, Economy MinisterAt this point, Sturzenegger denied any existing friction with Caputo: “We have an excellent relationship, personal and working“.

Details about the “Leaf Law”
One of the First major projects of the new minister will be the sending to Congress of the so-called Leaf litter law: another ambitious proposal that will take points left aside in the already approved one Law Bases and that will surely generate a new one strong parliamentary debate.
The project will present several chapters and articles from various areas. “A review of all the laws was carried out and you find things that you cannot believe, especially because in the military era, passing a law was easy.”who added that in recent years “a series of laws have accumulated that are not very operational.”

Capture
But the debate will not only be about outdated laws. There will also be heated debates about strategic areas. As an example, the new official placed special emphasis on the education reform which was removed from the original text of the original Bases Law: “This is probably one of the most important reforms of the last 50 years. It makes it mandatory for people to take an exam when they finish high school. “This is an integrative test that changes incentives around the world. In countries that have implemented it, PISA tests have increased by 10%.”
In university education, the new project would also resume the “University tuition fees for non-resident foreigners“On the other hand, the Hojarasca law would also include a chapter on modernization of justice. “There was a project that is Trial by jurywhich already exists in several provinces, but We put it in the Basic Law and they said no…“, the minister recalled at this point.
Despite some resignation, Sturzenegger explained that the reduction of the mega Ley Bases “It is part of the process of democracy“Sometimes, there is a reading that if one presents something and loses something along the way, one is weak, a failure, and that is wrong. There is a president with strong ideas and the political system has mechanisms that seek tension.. A lot of debates and topics were put on the table to discuss,” he said.
Finally, the former minister of Mauricio Macri announced the agenda of your first steps as an official of Milei’s government. Sturzenegger said that the Wednesday will present a commercial aviation reform which will seek to release restrictions linked to air transport through the first regulatory decrees of DNU 70which will pose a great change in the Commercial air code.
“A route could not be given to a company if Aerolíneas Argentinas did not serve it. That was what the law said. The reform lifted those restrictions. The passenger transfer operation for small vessels was also released.”Sturzenegger explained.
“In freight transport we have restrictions and registrations and we are working to alleviate those restrictions.. The issue of own cargo, in Argentina the trucks became double cabin, the flatbed was for cargo, they asked for all the papers. When they made the double cabin, it is a car with an open trunk, imagine the madness,” said the minister about his first steps as a new official.
