Single Paper Ballot could be sanctioned and applied in the 2025 elections. The Anti-Mafias law, one of the projects of the Minister of Security, is also being debated.
With a legislative coordination table every Monday with the PRO plus the construction of fluidity with radicalism, La Libertad Avanza sets priorities and advances projects in Congress. If there are no irreversible tensions in the facility, it will approve reforms that will be implemented in the next few years. elections and could even add a sanction for one of its most controversial initiatives regarding security.
The Government bets every week. This time he called a session for Tuesday where he included in the agenda the project of Single Paper Ballot which still does not have an opinion, so it hastened a plenary session of commissions for the day before. The only obstacle can come from the block of Federal Innovationwhere the provincial representatives clash with the UCR for the possibility of voting for the entire list in the same box. Casa Rosada only wants your approval, as much as that of Clean Sheet (which still does not have a half sanction), to which those considered dialogueists have already made suggestions.
Other The balance that the ruling party is dealing with is between the CGT and the blocks that promote the reform of internal union policy. Libertarian legislative leaders had a meeting this Wednesday with their radical peers, who insisted on their support – which they withdrew at the last minute, when the deputies arrived at the commission – for the project of “union democracy”. At the same time, they summoned the main leaders of the labor union to Casa Rosada. Which of the two pressures will prevail? “We need to work more on the law”the man from Jujuy told Ámbito Manuel Quintar (La Libertad Avanza).
If the rudeness in the union reform generated discomfort within radicalism, everything that surrounds the attempt to privatization of Aerolíneas Argentinas It reminded us of the first legislative outbursts of the ruling party. In the midst of a union conflict with airlines and the suspension of flights that triggers social unrest, the Government interpreted the opportunity to sell the company. He urgently summoned the Transportation Commission -which for months has been seeking to sanction the Interior Compensation Fundrequested by mayors of different parties -, brought two relevant officials with the striking absence of the head of Airlines himself and designed a scheme in which he planned to obtain an opinion in a brief meeting.

Deputies
Finally, the plenary session lasted six hours and, seeing that the debate may not be able to be unblocked this year, two days later he announced that he would enable the privatization by decree. Any definition will have to be ratified by the Bicameral Commissionwhere the dialogueists – who anticipated doubts in supporting the measure – could bow to other demands of Peronism: the last, on DNU 846/2024, which would enable the Executive to freely exchange the debt.
Fires in Córdoba and a new security doctrine
Although it is not included in the agenda, Córdoban legislators have already anticipated that they will request treatment on tables of the Emergency declaration for the province, in the midst of fighting fires. Approval is expected by a large majority. It remains to be seen if the libertarian deputies take the same position of abstention as their peers from the Senate of the Nationwhich caused a new outburst from Luis Juez: “What the hell else has to happen to us in Córdoba for the Government to realize that we are having a hard time there?”
After what was the sanction of the National Registry of Genetic Datathe first law approved by the Government after the Bases Law, the ruling party returns to the fray with one of the most desired projects by Patricia Bullrich: the Comprehensive Approach to Organized Crime lawwhose opinion was signed by allied legislators in August while another project, that of dismissal of imputability. Casa Rosada was in charge of counting the votes in the meetings parallel to the venue that it had in recent weeks and wishes to be awarded this reform of the Penal Code, which he named the Anti-Mafia Lawas an achievement of its security management.
The initiative criminalizes organized crime, aggravates the penalties for those considered members of an illicit association and collectivizes sentences for all members of the criminal group: “It will be punished with the penalty that corresponds to the most serious crime committed by the organization.” At the same time, it omits to specify sanctions for the connivance of officials, extends the powers granted to federal officers to carry out searches and detain for no reason other than suspicion, and does not specify the budget that will be allocated to prison infrastructure or equipment for the special force that it says will constitute. Exceptions to the austerity policy are made public again in the National Congress.
