The president Javier Milei He assured this Friday that if Congress achieves reform the DNU law In order to limit the discretionary capacity of the Executive Branch, he will veto it. In this way, the libertarian leader will use the same strategy as with the retirement reform and the University Financing Law.
Milei gave a speech in front of businessmen in Mar del Plata. At the end of said event, the President confirmed his decision if the bill advances in both legislative chambers: “If the DNU reform comes out, it is vetoed”he stated to C5N.
Javier Milei’s decision on the project that regulates the Decrees of Necessity and Urgency
The discussion about this management tool reached Congress after the president issued 39 DNUs in the first 10 months of his Government. They affected a wide number of regulations from the rental law to the declaration of Aerolíneas Argentinas subject to privatization.
In this framework, the opposition seeks to limit this tool of the President to, in turn, limit Milei’s power over Congress. When asked about the bill, the President assured that, if it comes out, “is vetoed“the reform of the DNU.”What they are trying to do is a coup d’état“.
“They are wanting change the rules of the game midway. Does that seem normal to you?” responded the President. Furthermore, when asked about his relationship with former President Mauricio Macri, Milei insisted that they maintain a dialogue “very deep“.
Deputies seek to reform the DNU law
One of the main points that the opposition questions is that to repeal a DNU the approval of Deputies and Senators. Furthermore, among the 16 projects that are promoted – with the call to political scientists and jurists to make the reform more effective -, the expansion of the Bicameral Legislative Procedure Commission (which reviews the DNU); that the Legislative Branch has a time limit to ratify the decrees and not to revoke them; and clarify the definition of need and urgencyamong different proposals that the multiple editorial offices have.
According to a report from the Faculty of Law of the Universidad Austral, Javier Milei is the fourth president with the highest number of DNUs in his first nine months in officebehind Eduardo Duhalde (78), Alberto Fernández (60) and Néstor Kirchner (51). Likewise, he was the first president to have a DNU repealed by both chambers of the National Congress: 656/24, of funds reserved for the Intelligence Service.
“Is It is unacceptable that a decree has more value than a law, because we ask that there be two chambers to sanction a law and with the signature of the Executive Branch we already have a law in operation with the same hierarchy,” denounced the deputy Oscar Agost Carreño who observed that “if the President has the power of partial veto, how can it be that Congress does not have a similar power in mirror.” “Let’s get ahead of a possible ruling by the Court due to lack of policy resolution“added Juan Manuel López.
The DNUs of Javier Milei
Among the 39 DNUs issued by Milei, the one that generated the most debate was the 70/2023presented on national television just ten days after assuming the presidency. Its content included an enormous amount of regulations ranging from the repeal of the rental law, the liberalization of drug prices, modifications to the credit card regime, a labor reform, transformations to the land law, among others. changes that were later included in the debate of the Bases law.
After this law was approved, the President decreed measures that he could not obtain through parliament, such as the free exchange of debt or the privatization of Aerolíneas Argentinas. Previously, he had already established the retirement system through DNU.
Despite the approval of the majority of the DNU, there are two decrees that went through strong controversies. The first was the 656/24, which gave him $100,000 million of extra funds reserved for the Intelligence Servicewhich had been renovated weeks before. Another was the limitation to requests for access to public informationwhose main authority in the Executive Branch itself expressed its complete disagreement and claimed not to have been consulted.
