Jorge Macri sends a project to suspend the Buenos Aires PASO
The Buenos Aires chief will announce this Friday the sending to the Legislature of a project to modify another aspect of the 2025 electoral calendar: the Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory Primaries (PASO). The Buenos Aires initiative proposes to suspend its application during the next year. “It will just be a suspension,” they emphasized Scope.
Since it is a reform of the Electoral Code, The law requires a minimum of 40 votes for its sanctionas occurred with the debate that obtained Clean Sheet in the last session of the year. The project failed to be sanctioned by just one vote: the The final count showed 39 votes in favor, below the required number.
From City They assure that the suspension of the primaries would allow the electoral calendar to be alleviated for the people of Buenos Aires. To do this, they will have to resort to the support of allies and opponents in the Legislature. Within the libertarians they could find support taking into account that in November Pilar Ramírez presented a similar project that proposes eliminating internal ones, in line with Milei’s proposal in Congress. “We do not want there to be a STEP”he said at the time.
In the PRO bloc that responds to Bullrich, they were in favor of reforming the Electoral Code to modify the primaries, although they went for more. “We are in favor of eliminating them”they remarked. While the United Republicans legislator, Yamil Santoro, considered the project as “a success” given that “the parties have to resolve internal issues, internally.”
“The cost argument does not seem significant to me considering that, upon approval with the Single Paper Ballot and since the City votes with Electronic and Paper Ballotthe cost is not so substantial to alter the rules of the game based on that foundation. However, always in favor of efficiency and simplifying the lives of taxpayers,” Santoro added.
In any case, to approve the project, Macrismo would have to turn to tough opponents. Of the 60 votes in the Legislature, 18 belong to Union for the Homeland and three others at left. It would be enough for everyone to vote against to destroy the project. Therefore, to suspend them, the macrismo will have to fish in that fish tank.
The decision of Jorge Macri to unfold and suspend the PASSED It is a move that some governors are also analyzing at this time. Just as he told Scope, Some districts anticipated and took firm steps to annul the PASO. Jump, For example, he eliminated the primaries with the approval of both chambers of his Legislature.
Governor Gustavo Sáenz signed decree 689 by which he called provincial elections for May 4, 2025, as this media had anticipated. While his proposal to suppress the PASO achieved an overwhelming majority, since over 60 members in Deputies only four expressed themselves against.
