He Government promotes treatment in Congress of a new legislative project. It is about the Leaflitter law promoted by the Minister of Deregulation and Transformation of the State, Frederick Sturzenegger. In the last few hours, the official gave new details of the regulations that he will seek to repeal.
Sturzenegger announced last Friday that the president Javier Milei sent to Congress the project that aims to eliminate around 70 laws considered “useless, obsolete or that restrict our freedoms.”
The official highlighted on social networks that the project aims to deregulate and simplify the current regulatory framework, indicating that the analysis carried out identified the validity of regulations dating from previous presidencies.
This Sunday the minister gave details about some of the regulations to be repealed. “The more laws, the worse a society is. In hell you will find nothing but laws”he wrote, in a quote from the American jurist Grant Gilmore.
Hojarasca Law: the regulations that the Government will seek to repeal
Among the laws that the government will eliminate, 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.”
According to a shared graph, the laws to be repealed are distributed as follows:
- Isabel Perón (1974-1976): 5 laws
- Alejandro Agustín Lanusse (1971-1973): 5 laws
- Reynaldo Benito Bignone (1982-1983): 5 laws
- Héctor José Cámpora (1973): 3 laws
- Juan Carlos Onganía (1966-1970): 3 laws
- Carlos Menem (1989-1999): 3 laws
- Raúl Alberto Lastiri (1973): 3 laws
- Jorge Rafael Videla (1976-1981): 5 laws
- Arturo Frondizi (1958-1962): 3 laws
- Néstor Kirchner (2003-2007): 3 laws
The Government’s arguments to promote the Hojarasca Law
From the portfolio led by Federico Sturzenegger, they indicated that the Milei Government carried out “a detailed analysis of Argentine laws and found six reasons for the repeal of different norms”:
- Laws that limit individual freedom and restrict the right to property.
- Laws that eliminate useless and meaningless procedures.
- Laws that were surpassed, updated and improved by other later laws.
- Laws that are currently obsolete due to technological changes.
- Laws that ceased to make sense because they defined obligations for institutions that ceased to exist.
- Laws that create publicly funded organizations when they should be self-sustaining.
