The general climate in the previous one is that The quorum is assured to advance its treatment. And although the ruling party claims to have the votes for approval in the lower house, the panorama appears more complicated in the Senatefor the overwhelming majority that it holds in that enclosure Union for the Homeland (UP)main to measure opposition as it is written.
The project contemplates that they cannot be candidates or officials who have been sentenced in second instance For “the crimes provided for in chapters VI – bribery and influence peddling, VII”. That includes malicious crimes linked to corruption as “Malversation of public flows, negotiations incompatible with the exercise of public functions, illegal accusations, illicit enrichment of officials and employees and cover -up”.

That is, they take out the ‘arbitrariness’ that the condemnatory double failure as a non -electoral year, ”they mentioned from the Democracy block forever, which brings together dissident radicals of the official block.
For that space he participated in that meeting Carla Carrizowho said: “We are going to wait for the new text of the first article that is now writing the Executive. We want a new text without arbitrariness such as the deadlines that the Executive had sent,” Carrizo said when leaving the meeting
However, there are also orders that arrive from other blocks. “The National Government insists on sanctioning its bill as it is: Clean file only in cases of corruption and crimes against public administration,” he told this media Pamela Calletti, head of the federal innovation blockbench with terminals in the governors of Salta, Misiones and Río Negro. “I am talking to several disputed to insist with my clean file project that I presented last year, which includes all kinds of malicious crime. Specifically, sexual crimes and drug trafficking as is currently in Salta, ”he added.
In addition to Salta, other provinces already have a clean record: Chubut, Mendoza, Jujuy, San Juan, Santa Fe, Río Negro and Córdoba. They are aimed at approving a similar mechanism Neuquén, Tucumán, Entre Ríos and the City of Buenos Aires.
