The President expressed himself in very harsh terms after the norm was not supported in the Senate. “The time has come for the political class to decide which side of history they want to be on,” he stated.
Javier Miley
Javier Milei sent a strong message after the Senate rejected the Government's DNU that deregulates the economy. Although the rule will remain in force because to definitively annul it it requires that it also be rejected by the Chamber of Deputies, the President issued harsh warnings and aimed directly at the political arc.
The president announced that the vote of the upper house puts at risk the call for the May Pact that he made during the Legislative Assembly, but he went one step further in his message: “It is impossible to interpret this decision in any other way than as an attempt to undermine the May Pact, the National Government and the change chosen by the Argentines.”
“On March 1, 2024, the President of the Nation extended an invitation, in an unprecedented historical event, to all members of the political leadership, without party distinction, to sign the May Pact,” the statement begins. the official account Office of the President.
And he continues: “This pact constitutes a founding agreement aimed at establishing ten State policies that allow the construction of a new economic order, rescuing Argentina from the path of failure and reinserting it on the necessary path to once again be a world power. This agreement, long demanded by the political class for decades but which no one has dared to call, necessarily requires the good will of all sectors of national political life."
The statement from the Office of the President
For this reason, he then warns: “What happened today in the Senate of the Nation violates the call of the President. The same Chamber that has enabled almost 500 Decrees of Necessity and Urgency of Kirchnerism, has been responsible for rejecting the DNU of President Javier Milei just 3 months after his inauguration.
In line with this idea, Milei closed the letter with strong words towards the opposition: “It is impossible to interpret this decision in any other way than as an attempt to undermine the May Pact, the National Government and the change chosen by the Argentines. In his speech about the state of the Nation, the President proposed two alternatives: agreement or confrontation. “The time has come for the political class to decide which side of history they want to be on.”
This afternoon, the Senate of the Nation rejected the validity of the DNU that deregulates the economy and was a trigger for Javier Milei to confront the opposition again, in the midst of negotiations for the new Omnibus Law and the May Pact. The rule received 42 votes in favor, 25 against and four abstentions. For this, the Frente de Todos joined forces, legislators who respond to anti-K governors, some dissident and radical PJs. Now, for it to fall definitively, it must also be rejected in the Deputies, which starts from a base of 110 votes against the regulations.
As soon as it is informed of this Thursday's vote, the lower house will be able to debate it in the chamber, despite the fact that the ruling party's idea is to find a way out and extend the discussion through the bicameral Legislative Procedure, which analyzes this type of regulations. .
Hours after the first statement, the President's Office spoke again about the treatment of the decree in the Senate. “The President of the Nation wishes to highlight the work of the national senators of La Libertad Avanza , of the PRO , and especially of the absolute majority of the senators of the Radical Civic Union , who have fought today in defense of the freedom of the Argentines, despite knowing in advance the negative result," they noted and closed with the phrase: "When the Homeland is in danger, everything is allowed, except not defending it."
The treatment of the DNU in Congress also raised tension between the Executive and the head of the Senate, Victoria Villarruel , who was the one who paused the debate on the decree for more than a month and had to incorporate the treatment into the agenda for this Thursday's session. . This generated the fury of the Casa Rosada.
Likewise, at the beginning of the debate, the head of the La Libertad Avanza bench, Ezequiel Atauche , presented a motion to postpone the analysis of the measure. He was not successful, since the vote on his request resulted in 41 votes against and only 30 in favor. Thus, they moved forward with the vote and the Senate ended up rejecting the decree.
