With a large majority opinion, the provincialisms They managed to twist the arm of the Government and the dialogue opposition and imposed their own weight in the discussion so that the project from the Senate that eliminates the “complete list” option is sustained.
As he knew Scope, The block heads held a meeting in the office of the president of Deputies, Martin Menem, where the provincialists of Federal Innovation They turned the balance with a clear message towards the ruling party and the allies: they warned that they would not provide a quorum if the text from the Senate.
Given the risk of the session falling apart, it was agreed to move forward with the modification approved in the Upper House on September 12. This Tuesday’s session is scheduled to begin at 11:30 and it is expected that the project will be approved with more votes than the minimum required.
With the contribution of Together for Change, LaLibertadAvanza and Federal Innovation, the text could receive 145 affirmatives. The rejection of the Left Front (FIT) and of Union for the Homeland (UP)at least in general.
The BUPamong other changes, eliminates in principle the carryover effect in the categories of national positions, a challenge that especially challenges Freedom Advances that until now depended on the surname “Milei” on the ballot to push an almost unknown group of national legislators.
But it also avoids ballot theft between groups in the dark room in addition to having the benefit of only having to print a single “set” of ballots whose quantity is linked to that of the total number of voters, equipped with a security mechanism that prevents their reproduction.
The Senate has just modified the project approved in 2022 in Deputies and excluded the complete ballot button, under an agreement between the Government and the Rio Negro senator Mónica Silva and the governor of that province, Alberto Weretilneck. The missionaries of the Concord Front, who also have no national representation, joined that pact and now defend tooth and nail the Senate version.
Deputies vs. Senate
But he president of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menemand the head of the libertarian caucus, Gabriel Bornoroni, maintains an agreement with the PRO, the UCR, Encuentro Federal and the Civic Coalition to the detriment of the provincial forces with which the Government had agreed in the Senate.
In front are the provincial parties grouped in the Federal Innovation Blockwhich has representatives from Misiones, Río Negro and Salta, and who refused to include the “complete ballot” box that would harm them by not having candidates in the national categories.
In that scenario, Union for the Homelandthe largest bench with 99 members, would have a decisive role in the final resolution of the BUP format. Although in the general vote, the bloc chaired by Germán Martínez will lean towards rejection, in the particular vote it could tip the balance in favor of the full list button.
Single ticket on agenda
The Chamber of DeputyIt will also debate two security projects: one that seeks to fight organized crime and another for the regularization of weapons possession and voluntary surrender of weapons. The special session was requested for this Tuesday at noon by the president of the La Libertad Avanza (LLA) bloc, Gabriel Bornoroni, and the heads of the UCR benches, Rodrigo de Loredo; of Federal Meeting, Miguel Ángel Pichetto, and the Civic Coalition, Juan Manuel López.
As happens in all deliberations of the plenary session of the body, it will begin with a section dedicated to issues of privilege, tributes and requests for preference, an instance that is used by legislators to present their political positions. Subsequently, a series of agreements will be approved in a single vote, including an agreement with China on Cooperation for the Prevention and Fight against Illicit Trafficking and the Restitution of Cultural Property Illegally Transferred, Appropriated, Imported or Exported.
