The work schedule was agreed upon by the representatives of La Libertad Avanza (LLA) Gabriel Bornoroni, president of the General Legislation commission; Nicolás Mayoraz, appointed as head of Constitutional Affairs, and José Luis Espert, who was in charge of Budget and Finance.

Today's schedule indicates the presence of both officials in the Chamber. However, Chirillo yesterday preferred virtuality to in-person when presenting at the public hearing on the price of gas. Although official sources assure that he will be present in the Congress Annex, doubt floats in the halls of Congress.

According to established by the authorities of the commissions, the meetings will be informative in nature , so the signing of opinions is not contemplated. This means that the project will be debated again in committees, most likely next week.

Something that aroused the anger of opposition deputies in general is that the presidency of The Chamber enabled the possibility that the officials who should go to the committees to defend their bill, which can do remotely. And not only that, but he also asked the blocks to advance the questions in writing. In addition, they incorporated a schedule -somewhat infrequent- to finalize the commissions. Chirillo will be there until 5:00 p.m. and Cúneo will be there until 8:00 p.m. from that moment on.

Among the legislators who criticized this strategy was Paula Oliveto, of the Civic Coalition-We Make Federal Coalition (HCF), who argued that “officials have to come to the Chamber to explain the Omnibus Law and answer questions. It's not because of Zoom. It is not without debate. It seems that they don't want things to go away. "It's not a matter of course," she concluded.

The extraordinary sessions are scheduled until January 31. According to the deadline schedule that La Libertad Avanza imposed in the Chamber of Deputies, the intention is to issue an opinion next Thursday, January 18, so that the mega law is ready to be debated in the chamber on Wednesday the 24th or Thursday the 25th. from January. If this is so, and there is no extension of the extraordinary sessions, the deadline would be enough for only the debate in the Deputies and the Senate will have to wait until March 1.
