The first call of the 2025 legislative cycle was in a plenary of the Constitutional Affairs, Justice and Budget and Finance Commissionswho discussed the “Reform Law for Electoral Strengthening”, Which in addition to the repeal of the Paso aims to limit the gratuity of the Proselitist propagandaexponentially increases the contribution that private ones can make (from a limit of 2% of the total electoral funds, passes to 35%) and hinders the conditions to become a national party.
In these last reforms, the ruling would not have the support of its main allies (PRO, MID)who did endorse the SUSPENSION OF THE STEPwhich would exclusively affect the Electoral calendar 2025. Radicalism had divided positions: Democracy forever did not present an opinion and the UCR He did not support in its entirety. Scope could know that the Cordoba government added its support to the libertarian intention, through its representatives on the bench of Federal Meeting.
That attitude had four replicas among the Peronist deputies of Santiago del Estero and Catamarca (Herreras, Dives, Ginocchio and Nóblega), that signed a minority opinion that made it possible to advance the project of Casa Rosada.
The ruling party needed 58 signatures in the debate to walk its proposal: He got 53 in favor with 3 in dissent (Nieri, Sánchez, Soledad Carrizo), while there was another opinion with 5 signatures (of the Peronist provincialists) that guaranteed the minimum number required in a commission to raise a project to the session. This will occur next Thursday and include security and justice reforms: Reiterance and judgment in absence.
During the debate, the Peronist deputy Germán Martínez He pointed out that freedom progresses was delaying the discussion because “They are making an infernal tightening about different deputies and deputies to gather the firms they need“. Libertarian deputies denied the accusation but they reserved the use of the word and, unpublished since their parliamentary baptism, had six consecutive speakers after three hours of debate.
The capture of the votes from the governorates were closed surgically. First they were announced from Cordova, while the Peronists agreed at a meeting that simultaneously had the Ministry of Economy and the Cabinet Headquarters with leaders or representatives of Catamarca, Salta, Jujuy, Misiones and Tucumán. From the Mendoza and Cordoba radicalism There were last -moment calls to their legislative referents, who added their rubric when the votes were already guaranteed.
Suspension of the step: debate in deputies
At the beginning of the Plenary, the Cordoba Gabriel Bornoroni (holder of the block of La Libertad advances) announced that the opinion was already circulating to gather signatures. His position was ratified by his benchmate, the Santa Fe Nicolás Mayorazwho argued that “There is an electoral urgency to treat it as soon as possible to bring certainty and transparency to the electoral process that we are going to have this year. “
They replied the Santa Fe Germán Martínezpresident of the block of Union for the Homelandwho stressed the lack of treatment of Budget 2025 And he analyzed that the true discussion of background is “whether or not there is political vocation, especially the sectors that are perceived from opponents, of validate and legitimize the agenda that the president of the Nation proposed for these extraordinary sessions“
Within that framework, he said that the true objective of the ruling is “guarantee the possibility of politically swallowing the opposition sectors in the ideological level to the national government and try to generate a process of division of the most remote opposition spaces. “

In turn, the Buenos Aires Silvana Giudici (Pro) -Who supported the suspension of the passage- made a comparison of the “cost” that had the votes of each partycalculating the state contribution to each group with respect to the percentage of support they had in the last elections. “In no way do you want to proscribe, but what is not necessary is for the electorate to be the one that ends in this scheme “he raised and added: “It is about improving the quality of life of the people, to efficient the resources of the State and to be able to discuss the rest of the rules that must be modified, both of financing and advertising.”
Minutes later, the Buenos Aires Juan Manuel López (Civic Coalition) He remarked that they would support the official suspension project of the passage through 2025 seen “The reset scenario of the Argentine political scheme and the obvious uselessness you will have”and asked that “not all the other aspects proposed by the Executive, Financing and Advertising.”
In turn, the Buenos Aires Fabio Quetglas (UCR) He considered that the electoral reform is not urgent and was explicit of the Radicalism Postures Division by stating that the official writing will not endorse: “I understand that it is a logical modification for the Executive because it makes things very easier for the political spaces that have the political spaces they have A political and exclusive leadership, and makes things difficult for the spaces that are in a deliberation process. “ “It is a conjunctural advantage and in two years it may not have this tool that would be a problem,” added.

In tune, the Buenos Aires Margarita Stolbizer (Federal Meeting) He also transparent the division into his bench when proposing “that we return this back to get an agreement”: “Submit this issue for the time that the debate must last, let’s call those who have to come to give their opinions. They do not force an opinion today to go 48 hours to the enclosure to get a mamarracho. “
Once the libertarian triumph, the Correntino Lisandro Almirón (La Libertad advances) acknowledged that “today we have discussed politics again, We are not arguing how the democratic system is more perfectible“
