For next year the Government hopes that the economy grow 5%the inflation slows to 18.3%that the dollar official progress at a pace similar to the prices standing at $1,207 in December, a primary surplus of 1.3% of GDP and balance in the financial result of the Treasury. These are the main macroeconomic data contained in the budget project that the Executive Branch submitted to Congress.
In addition, the Hojarasca law is seeking approval, where it is proposed to eliminate 70 laws that the Government considers “obsolete or in disuse.” The text maintains “the need for eliminate all legislation that is not in keeping with the times either due to its obsolete, useless nature, or because it has been superseded by later regulations, because it is legislation on issues of little relevance or useless procedures that generate or increase costs for citizens.”
Among the laws that the government will suppress, the 18,832 of 1969, promulgated during the dictatorship of Juan Carlos Onganía, that “created a fund to control the production of newsprint and condition the written press. Likewise, he proposes eliminating the law 14,034 of the government of Juan Domingo Peron which imposes penalties for Argentines who “by any means promote the application of political or economic sanctions against the Argentine State.”
The Hojarasca law also proposes eliminating the law 20,120 of the government of Alejandro Lanusse which “enables the State to prohibit private meetings between citizens” and repeals 19,787 of 1972, which “restricts the free choice of musical themes in radio programming.”
Furthermore, it promotes the suppression of two laws of the government of María Estela Martínez de Perón: the law 20,802 that “prevents free movement throughout the country”, law 20,959 that “repeals the free parking permit for legislators throughout the country” and the law 20,983 that “forces certain industries to compulsively disseminate topics of interest to the State.”
It is also proposed the elimination of two laws of the de facto government of Reynaldo Bignone. On the one hand, the law 22,875 which “allows the State to demand that private companies relocate their productive activities” and rule 22,964 of 1983, which “enables the forced confinement of leprosy patients.”
