Tomorrow, Carlos GubermanSecretary of the Treasury, and Pablo QuirnoSecretary of Finance, will present the Budget 2025 in Deputies after the governors’ rejection of the public works annex and Milei’s claim to apply a fiscal adjustment of US$60,000 million.
The Nation’s debts with the pension funds not transferred, the cutting of ATN shipments and items destined for transportation and education, added to the drop in collection in the districts due to the recession, complicate the negotiation of the Budget.
PRO under pressure from the Government
After meeting with Santiago Caputo last week, Mauricio Macri published, at the request of the Casa Rosada, a message on social networks in favor of the audits of the universities promoted by Javier Milei. There was no express mention of the veto or how the PRO legislators will vote.
The Macri bloc arrives virtually fractured ahead of tomorrow’s meeting where Macri tries to “order the troops” at the request of the presidential advisor who makes up the iron triangle with Karina Milei. Álvaro González has already announced that he will reject the veto. Diego Santilli will support him. Between absences, abstentions and crossed votes, the PRO is preparing to go down to the premises without a unified position.
Adding to the dispersion of the PRO is the key role that the deputies of Osvaldo Jaldo (Tucumán), Marcelo Orrego (San Juan) and Hugo Passalacqua (Misiones) will have. Quines add up to about 8 deputies who, if aligned with La Libertad Avanza, would end up shield Milei’s veto on universities. That path will begin to be explored today by Guillermo Francos when he receives at Casa Rosada the table of allies headed by Cristian Ritondo (PRO) and Oscar Zago (MID) with the aim of securing the support of at least a third of the deputies present next Wednesday in the session.
Meeting against the veto of educational financing
Today at 19 a virtual assembly of the CONADU will be held to define a new plan of struggle that includes the takeover of universities and the call for a new mobilization in Congress for Wednesday when the fate of the second presidential veto is defined in Deputies.
The university unions were also summoned by the Ministry of Education this afternoon at 17 to a new “technical” meeting with the undersecretary of university policies, Alejandro Álvarez, where they could receive an offer of salary improvement after the rejection of the 5.8% proposed last month by the government.
The debate in the Budget and Finance Commission, chaired by José Luis Espert, will be once a week while the ruling party continues negotiating to add at least 129 votes. If the debate in committee extends beyond November 30, the President will sign a call for extraordinary sessions.
Last night Luis Caputo He confirmed that he will not attend the commission chaired by José Luis Espert to defend the 2025 Budget project so as not to lend itself to the “staging” of the opposition and confirmed that the national government will appear in court if Congress finally rejects the veto the university financing law. “They are presenting an expense without compensation”, was the argument of the Minister of Economy.
“What the Financial Administration Law says is that Congress cannot present an expense without a financing counterpart that justifies it,” Caputo added in a television interview. “We will probably do it through justice or administrative means, always within the framework of the law, if it agrees with us,” he said.
