Unión por la Patria, Encuentro Federal and Democracia para Siempre requested a special session to discuss the decree and hope to achieve the necessary quorum to advance the debate.
As tension grows between the Government and its allied blocs at the negotiating table for the Budget 2025increase the probability that the session requested by Union for the Homeland, Federal Meeting, and Democracy Forever to debate the repeal of the debt exchange decree have a quorum.
That session was requested by the head of the UP bench, Germán Martínez, along with the EF legislators, Emilio Monzo and Nicolás Massot, and the radical dissidents of Democracia para Siempre, Pablo Juliano, Carla Carrizo, and Dayna Tavela, among others. . The expectation is that the support that was missing in the last call (from Catamarca, Santiago del Estero and Córdoba) this time they join, along with autonomous legislators.
The special session is to discuss the rejection of the decree 846/2024 published last September, which retouched article 11 of Decree 331/2022 of the Frente de Todos. This establishes that future debt exchanges had to be made with species of the same currency. Instead, Milei’s decree says that, from Now, it will be indistinct: the Government will be able to receive bonds in dollars and deliver papers in pesos, or vice versa.
The opposition seeks to reach a quorum to debate the repeal of the DNU debt exchange
So far UP says that it can contribute between 90 and 94 legislators, the left 5, Federal Meeting 12 of 16, Democracy Forever 12, which would reach 123.
On November 12, the ruling party managed to collapse the session called by the opposition. UP did not have the presence of four people from Catamarca who report to Raúl Jalil, two people from Santiago who report to Gerardo Zamora, Tanya Bertoldi from Neuquén, and Adolfo Bermejo and Liliana Paponet from Mendoza.
Within the opposition front that called the session, Ricardo López Murphy, Jorge “Loma” Ávila from Chubut, and Francisco Morchio from Entre Rios (who answers to Governor Rogelio Frigerio) and at least Carlos Gutiérrez and Ignacio García Aresca from Córdoba were not going to attend either.
