Weekly agenda of Congress: Government presses to avoid a defeat at the end of the year

Once again, the opposition gathered its blocks to prevent Javier Milei from governing only by decrees.

When the management of Javier Milei had found a dynamic of governability, based on decree what could not be agreed upon and veto what could not be avoidedthe opposition alliance converged again in Congress to call a session that intends reform the DNUsbut whose background is a message to the Executive.

If the reform of Law 26,122 is approved, the rejection of one of the two chambers will be sufficient to revoke a DNU and these will have a validity period of up to 90 days. Thus, the Legislature will no longer have to vote for rejection but for approval. As happened with retirements and universities, they will come together again Peronism, dissident radicalism, left and provincialisms. Casa Rosada pressures the governors so that their parliamentary representatives do not support the project: for now, it achieved the silence of the PRO and the support of the most libertarian sector of the UCR, which will have a divided vote again.

Different paradoxes arise with this project. The most specific is the warning of Javier Mileiwhich if the reform is sanctioned would use the presidential veto precisely against an initiative that seeks to balance the distribution of powers. The other has to do with the antagonistic block postures to modify a law promoted by the government of Nestor Kirchner and the parliamentary negotiation of Cristina Kirchner -as senator- in 2006: Union for the Homeland will vote in favor of changing the DNU regime, while Freedom Advances will ratify the wording of Kirchnerism from two decades ago.

The Executive is not only bidding with the provinces for this proposal. In Tuesday’s session, they will also seek to veto another presidential decree (something that had never happened in history until September of this year), since the agenda includes DNU 846/2024 that relaxes the requirements for carrying out debt exchanges involving securities denominated in dollars with short-term maturities. Congress does not want to give extraordinary powers to the national administration in this negotiation, but it observes how suspicions regarding the Budget 2025: The ruling party no longer hides its lack of interest in approving it in order to be able to execute games at its discretion.

In the absence of a budget, security

The ruling party is building bridges with its allies to continue advancing with security proposals that will be active this week in both Deputies as well as in the Senate. This last venue concentrates the attention, given that projects that already have half a sanction are being debated in committees: a more bureaucratic one, such as the relaxation of gun registrationand another more sensitive one, like the project named Anti-mafia law. The Peronist opposition, which decided not to attend the last two meetings, would not be enough to prevent its approval. A discussion enters the Lower House with clear sponsorship from the Ministry of Security: the reform of the criminal concept of self defense.

With less stridency, and aligned on some agenda issues with the libertarian management, deputies referenced with the massism of Union for the Homeland push an agenda of current and urgent debates: the legislation for virtual bettingin addition to the regulatory framework of its advertising on sports platforms and broadcasts. On the same Wednesday, in a plenary session where members of five commissions will come together, a comprehensive strategy will begin to be discussed to address problematic consumption in the youth.

The bid between Pink House and the CGTwhich implied that Freedom Advances remove your support for radicalism for the reform of union democracythe Labor Legislation Commission continues with an agenda that is as conflictive at the union level as it is influential in the future of workers and employers: the modification of the articles of the Employment Contract law that addresses compensation.
