This increase in salaries will not be applied while decree 782, which applies the veto of Javier Milei signed last Friday and published today in the Official Gazette.
Message to Deputies
“I am pleased to send you attached hereto the Original Message No. 45/2024, which communicates the issuance of Decree No. 782/2024, by which the Bill registered under No. 27,756 is fully observed and returned,” stated the National Executive Branch in the note addressed to the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem.
Now the total veto must be turned to the comissions in Social Security and Provision and Budget and Finance, which will be a difficult filter to overcome for the opposition because the latter commission is led by the libertarian José Luis Espert.
The Radical Party has already decided that the president of the Commission on Social Security and Welfare, Gabriela Brouwer, will summon the parliamentary body as soon as possible to issue an opinion in support of the law passed by Congress.
The problem is with the Budget Committee, so it is not ruled out that the opposition blocs will resort to a summons of both committees, a measure that can only be taken when there is a session of the legislative body.
Javier Milei’s strategy
Anyway, Javier Milei’s Freedom Advances is already working to ensure that the opposition does not gather two thirds: To do so, he must gather 86 votes, if all 257 legislators were present in the session hall.
In the recitals of the decree the Government stated that The project approved by Congress “clearly violates the current legal framework since it does not consider the fiscal impact of the measure nor determine the source of its financing.”
He also indicated that the Financial Administration Law is clear in expressly “requiring” that “any law authorizing expenditures not provided for in the general budget must specify the sources of the resources to be used for its financing.”
The government argued that if the law is applied, it will generate additional spending of 6 trillion pesos for 2024 and 15 trillion pesos for 2025, which “are equivalent to 1.02 percent of GDP estimated for the current year; and 1.64% of the GDP estimated for next year.”
He also noted that, if the law passed by the Government is applied, it will imply an increase of 18.5% in ANSES spending for 2024 and 29.2% for 2025.
