Deputies: unexpected short circuits and unprecedented agreements in the last week of sessions

The period of ordinary sessions in Congress and the possibility of a call to extraordinary that does not have the project Budget 2025 in your agenda. The last call was to treat Clean Sheet. To understand your lack of quorum we must refer to Tuesday, when The heads of all parliamentary blocs met to present his agenda of priorities. Among libertarian interests, the renewal of Martin Menem as president of deputies. It was there that Union for the Homeland, majority bench by breadth, saw an opportunity.

Freedom Advances He knew both his need for votes for the reelection of the presidency and the interests of other spaces for the position. Even his own Menem shared a meeting with Miguel Pichetto and Emilio Monzówhose desire was for it to remain in the hands of some member of Federal Meeting. However, the pact was finally sealed between Peronists and libertarians. Given this, another member of that block, Nicolas Massotcriticized on his social networks the “clear government agreement with the K to achieve the re-election of Menem” and pointed out against “the complicity of the LLA so that there is no quorum.” Massot did not go to the venue this Thursday and did not facilitate the quorum either.

Despite having accompanied the project’s opinion, The sanction of the Clean Record was not a priority for libertarians. Peronism accuses lawfare and points out the arbitrariness of establishing that the initiative is applied to second instance rulingssomething that happened with Cristina Kirchner this same month. They even point to intervention in the premises of Juan Manuel López (Civic Coalition)who interpreted that from Casa Rosada “They want to confront Cristina Kirchner and want her as a candidate”. Finally, the project seemed to have a first and last name.

The PRO did not consider the ten absences of La Libertad Avanza. One of those absent alleged massive poisoning. Allies ask to observe movements of proximity between those who have to renew benches and Karina Mileimain libertarian shipowner. Beyond the escrache promises to the benches that did not provide a quorum, the PRO did not lose the intention of building a coalition future with La Libertad Avanza, for which they see a promising future in 2025.

“Was the project of interest to the PRO or to Lospennato?”they asked from Peronism, pointing to the legislator who was the author of the project and one of the most mobilized by her loss of parliamentary status. “It’s not going to be like this for the citizens, who are going to look closely at who those who did not come to the premises today,” said Lospennato, in what was his first intervention after the session ended. For the third time this week, The call had the objective of the principle of revelation.

Both radical blocs expressed even greater vehemence than the PRO, mainly from the UCR. An influential member of the bench stated for this medium: “I preferred Milei, who was a bit strange but who said things straight.”. The coreligionists of Democracy Forever They sought to keep the assets of the institutions, polarizing with the ruling party and Peronism. “Be careful about reaching Kirchnerism through the shortcut that Milei offers you,” said the head of the bench, Pablo Juliano. “They are both populists,” considered Facundo Manes.

Extraordinary, a latent possibility

The pro-government deputies consulted by Scope They did not confirm the certainty of a call for extraordinary sessions, but one of them was concrete: “We are only going to call if we are sure that the projects come out”. In this framework, they maintain doubts about the possibility of including the elimination of elections Primary, Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory (PASO)where personal opinions converge with current interests that, in the current scenario, correspond to the needs of the allies of Freedom Advances.

PRO UCR Deputies

The PRO and the UCR failed to advance their parliamentary projects this week.

Although the provincialist representatives (from Jujuy, Salta, Misiones, Río Negro and Tucumán) once again expressed their disagreement with their absences from the premises, Budget 2025 seems far from discussion. Even the governors are beginning to prioritize the fight for the distribution of the Provincial Development Trust Fund before the co-participation of the National Treasury Contributions. So far, everything would indicate that the 2023 Budget is postponed for one more year. “ Extraordinaries without a Budget is a scandal“, they repeat from Unión por la Patria.

For an eventual call, then, the inclusion of the privatization of Aerolíneas Argentinas and the sheets of the Supreme Court of Justicewhich reflects how the negotiations between Peronists and libertarians extend to the Senate. In addition, reforms of the Code of Procedure and Criminal Procedurewhich are part of the agenda of Patricia Bullrichas a demonstration of the ascendancy that the minister has in the Executive and her fluidity with the libertarian leadership. Trial in absentia and trial by jury, recidivism and repetition, tax penalties and self-defense These are the topics with the possibility of reaching the venue.
