After the introduction of the national official, Maximiliano Ferraro (Civic Coalition) pointed out that “the number that you have does not match (NdR: for Daniel Scioli) of the Environment Budget with what we deputies have” and specified that a 6.2% nominal drop was recorded and 24.52% real drop in items in the Undersecretariat of Environmentwhich would imply $170 for each hectare of native forest within the framework of the strategic environmental planning previously highlighted by the secretary.
Scioli gave the response to Ana Lamas, Undersecretary of Environmentwho explained that “it is important to know that the Environment area is an undersecretary and not a ministry. Obviously your budget issue went down based on that; Many roles, such as National Parks, are being taken by the Vice Chief of Staff.” Then, he admitted that “we had ceilings established by the Ministry of Economy that we could not exceed“, but added that “the deputies can suggest increases in the items.”

The opposition deputies (from the PRO and La Libertad Avanza did not ask to speak) mentioned the cancellation of the social monotax that the official did not deny (“we are here to discuss the budget, it is not appropriate to give that answer, the social monotax is a valid tool”); the Line 102 that offered a telephone service for children and adolescents with violated rights and was not executed (they are in the process of changing the format or transferring responsibility to the provinces); the Pike Law (“it was ideological and we entered into a review process”); wave Breeze Law for children of victims of femicide that is being underexecuted (he noted that it will not be closed)
“The Government has been proposing for some time that they are increasing the Universal Child Allowance and the Food Card and that reaches almost 100% of the basic food basket. I have no doubt that they have increased the moment, but there is a contradiction between the statement that it reaches almost 100% and that INDEC states that poverty – subject to the basic food basket – is rising“, he stated Daniel Arroyo (Unión por la Patria) and concluded: “My impression is that INDEC measures well and the problem is that due to the inflation levels, and beyond the significant increases that I value, it is far from 100%.”
