As Ámbito anticipated, the president Javier Milei He gave his speech at the Madrid Forum on Thursday and confirmed that he will appear before the National Congress to formalize the budget for 2025. The last time he attended the parliamentary premises was on March 1, at the Legislative Assembly.
“In the name of justice and equality, we had an omnipresent, controlling and oppressive State that assumed the right to steal from some to give to others, according to the whim of the bureaucrat on duty. In the name of solidarity, We had a fiscal deficit in 113 of the last 123 years. And I want to make a clarification: in those 10 years that we did not have a financial deficit it was because Argentina was in default,” said the president at the beginning of his speech at the exCCK.
Milei: “I’ll be going to Congress soon”
In this context, Milei announced her visit to Congress to present the budget and to delve into “the foundations of zero deficit”: “Therefore, some belittle, question or minimize something that could not be done in 123 years, and we achieved it in the first month of management. It is our commitment to continue maintaining it. In fact, I will soon be going to the National Congress Argentina to explain the foundations of a zero deficit in order to once and for all put an end to this cancer that is the fiscal deficit, the fiscal crises and the macroeconomic disaster that has plunged Argentina into poverty.”
“In this context of so much fiscal deficit, in these last 123 years the creators of wealth were punished with unpayable taxes and were publicly condemned as villains. As taxes were not enough to finance the deficit, debt was taken on that quickly became unpayable, and when no one wanted to lend to us because We had become the biggest serial defaulter in modern history.they began printing money indiscriminately,” he added.
Along these lines, he pointed out that “the same cycle began and It culminated a dozen times punishing society While politicians and their friends became richer and richer, or their relatives,”
Budget presentation: what the presentation will look like
In this context, government strategists are thinking about an extensive exhibition before the legislators, similar to the one the head of State made on the occasion of the opening of ordinary sessions on March 1st. The date scheduled for the presentation of the initiative is Monday September 16th coming.
Parliamentary sources, in response to a query by Scopethey point out that the President can accompany the Minister of Economy in the informative meetings of the Budget Commission, but they point out that the first president “It has no authority to call a legislative assembly to discuss the budget, it is not part of either formality or tradition.”
Following the defeats that the Executive Branch has been suffering in Congress, there are problems in the National Government Doubts about Parliament’s final approval of the draft budget that are preparing to send. “In that case, the current one will be extended”a senior official told this newspaper.
