Guillermo Francos, Minister of the Interior

Oscar Zago, president of the La Libertad Avanza bloc, targeted Kirchnerism for inflation and targeted Alberto Fernández.
“This Government - for many people - turns a deaf ear to social demands, it is authoritarian, it is slavery and denialist. It's the only thing they know how to say because 50 days ago President Javier Milei found himself with more than 1,000% inflation and they worry about whether gasoline increases 10%. While his president sails through Spain and enjoys the money he worked for,” he warned.
Finally, Zago highlighted: “We want to vote because we have been here for more than 30 hours, the problem is not us, the problem is the people who are watching us take six days to debate. More than 200 speakers said the same thing. It is a shame. "We have to be aware that there is a people who are having a bad time."

And he pointed out against the opposition: “The ruling party does not defend its project, the allies who vote today defend it. "They leveraged themselves on the frontal rejection of our political space, of our bloc, of this project in general and in particular and then went to negotiate."
“With the aggregate votes that we and other blocks that rejected this project contributed, they went and sat at the table of power to get things done. What you achieved was achieved with skill, but supported by the hundred or so votes that we are going to reject ,” he noted.

“We want a country where we can freely say what we think, where not everything is a trap of all kinds. Today those who are responsible spoke again. “Those who criticized Macri's debt should realize that they multiplied the plans, multiplied inflation, left more poor people and multiplied the debt,” he launched.

The crossing required Martín Menem to request order in the room. De Loredo, in the context of his speech and in the midst of his anger, continued: “I look at you because I am talking to you, Mr. Deputy,” he told Castagneto.
And he added: “If we are here it is because of what you did before, that is why I look at you. Because the other thing could have been a coincidence, a coincidence, as it happened, but if that happened it is your responsibility.”

However, just a few minutes after making that observation, he asked permission to read some data. “I'm going to read a little, do you let me read?” It is to be precise,” he asked Martín Menem.
His request caused complaints and boos. And it caused an immediate reaction from Pichetto who quickly challenged them: “You have to ask permission to read. Learn the regulations, you have to ask the president for permission to read. They can't come with a piece of paper and read. And sometimes they read wrong,” he concluded.

The Hacemos deputy apologized for his outburst yesterday, during which he became angry with those who applauded one of his interventions and described them as “idiots.” As he explained, that message was not directed at the legislators, but at the militants.
“Applause in the Senate in my time was prohibited, street conflicts and violent street speech cannot come here, I did not want to offend anyone, but those who were there should not be there,” he said in reference to deputies who were on the street yesterday afternoon in the midst of clashes between protesters and security forces.
At the same time, he asked to speed up the debate and blamed the ruling party in what seemed to be a response to Lemoine's previous intervention. “It is the ruling party that has to reduce the number of speakers to try to pass the law, let's try to prioritize this, because otherwise politics as a value and the representation of Congress will fall apart,” he shot.

Miguel Ángel Pichetto: “Today we are going to vote on the law”
The president of the We Make Federal Coalition bloc, Miguel Ángel Pichetto , anticipated that this Friday the Chamber of Deputies will give half a sanction to the Omnibus Law promoted by the national government.
“ Today it will be voted on and on Monday or Tuesday, whenever it is, we will finish the discussion in particular ,” Pichetto declared in a report given to journalist Eduardo Feinmann on radio Miter.
The legislator, who yesterday made an outburst in the middle of the session that today he attributed to the heat of the debate, said that there is a consensus regarding the powers that will be delegated to President Javier Milei and the list of companies that could be privatized. In this context, he proposed that various scenarios can occur with private intervention in state companies with different figures: concessions, partial privatizations, worker participation and others. The objective is to find the best framing for each situation. “What is clear is that the State cannot afford to lose 5 billion dollars a year,” he analyzed.
In addition, he raised a positive outlook for the future of Argentina, which aims to obtain fiscal balance in the short term and has the natural resources requested by the world. A strong increase in exports is also expected.

"Let it NOT be a law", the posters that the opposition posted on the premises
While the debate was going on, a group of deputies from Unión por la Patria handed out a poster to their colleagues on the bench with the phrase “Let it NOT be a law.” Many posted it on the front of their benches. Others tried to do it on the marble walls at the back of the room, which generated the anger of the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem, who asked them to take them out and only leave them at their desks.

Pichetto apologized for his insult and recommended accelerating the debate
The Hacemos deputy apologized for his outburst yesterday, during which he became angry with those who applauded one of his interventions and described them as “idiots.” As he explained, that message was not directed at the legislators, but at the militants.
“Applause in the Senate in my time was prohibited, street conflicts and violent street speech cannot come here, I did not want to offend anyone, but those who were there should not be there,” he said in reference to deputies who were on the street yesterday afternoon in the midst of clashes between protesters and security forces.
At the same time, he asked to speed up the debate and blamed the ruling party in what seemed to be a response to Lemoine's previous intervention. “It is the ruling party that has to reduce the number of speakers to try to pass the law, let's try to prioritize this, because otherwise politics as a value and the representation of Congress will fall apart,” he shot.

Miguel Ángel Pichetto: “Today we are going to vote on the law”
The president of the We Make Federal Coalition bloc, Miguel Ángel Pichetto , anticipated that this Friday the Chamber of Deputies will give half a sanction to the Omnibus Law promoted by the national government.
“ Today it will be voted on and on Monday or Tuesday, whenever it is, we will finish the discussion in particular ,” Pichetto declared in a report given to journalist Eduardo Feinmann on radio Miter.
The legislator, who yesterday made an outburst in the middle of the session that today he attributed to the heat of the debate, said that there is a consensus regarding the powers that will be delegated to President Javier Milei and the list of companies that could be privatized. In this context, he proposed that various scenarios can occur with private intervention in state companies with different figures: concessions, partial privatizations, worker participation and others. The objective is to find the best framing for each situation. “What is clear is that the State cannot afford to lose 5 billion dollars a year,” he analyzed.
In addition, he raised a positive outlook for the future of Argentina, which aims to obtain fiscal balance in the short term and has the natural resources requested by the world. A strong increase in exports is also expected.
