Javier Milei will send to Congress the DNU for deregulation of the economy despite the ruling that suspended the labor reform


The Government is preparing to give a new signal that it is not willing to give in with the DNU of deregulation of the economy after the setback who suffered yesterday with the precautionary measure of Justice against the section of the labor reform that the CGT resists a>decided to send the complete document to Congress, as he had initially planned, before that the maximum period dictated by the Constitution expires. In Government they appear unconcerned. They are convinced that the case will reach the Supreme Court and that they will be right in the last instance.Javier Milei . After announcing yesterday that he will appeal the ruling of the Labor Chamber.


December 5 - that is, tomorrow - expires the period set for the Chief of Staff to present the DNU published in the Official Gazette on December 20 beforeindistinctly. And yesterday afternoon, the President's political decision was to continue with the procedures to continue the controversial initiative regardless of the court ruling. “We are going to continue,” they said firmly at Balcarce 50, aware that turning back would be a calamitous sign of weakness. either of the two Chambers,



The document will be sent with all the original articles, including the labor chapter that the CGT managed to suspend after the presentation of an amparo before the Labor Chamber. The day before yesterday, the Labor Chamber enabled the fair to discuss the unions' request, and sent it to the attorney general, Juan Manuel Domínguez, who ruled that the conflict should be resolved by the Federal Administrative Litigation Chamber. However, two of the judges of the Fair Room decided to suspend the labor chapter of DNU 70/2023.


The administrative step takes on greater relevance after the adverse ruling and the Government reported that they will send it on time, although the opposition accuses them of postponing with tricks the formation of the permanent bicameral commission where the decree should be discussed.


The DNU is one of the Government's great bets, in which the President deposited a good part of his political capital. But from the beginning of the administration he knew that they faced two battle scenarios. One, political, which began with the first signs of resistance from the opposition in Congress, and with the announcement of the CGT strike. The second, political-judicial, which began yesterday, with the ruling of the Labor Chamber.

However, in the Casa Rosada they do not change. “It didn't surprise us. In fact, it took a long time,” said a trusted official of Javier Milei. “It will not be a problem. The precautionary measure applies only to the particular case, what the judge decided is wrong, and the issue will end up being absorbed for the Contentious. Furthermore, it defines the Court in the last resort,” she added, impassive. And he seemed confident that the highest court would agree with them. “It should be going well there,” they said in the Government.

Still, some libertarians admit concern. In addition to representing a political setback, the stop to the measure, they warn, leaves the Government in a bad position in the face of investors who strive to attract dollars to enter and reactivate the economy. “We are doing everything to show legal security, this is very bad for all of us,” they lamented. However, they swore that they will not make any type of underground intervention to influence Justice. “Obviously we are going to appeal, but we believe in a different Argentina, the operations are over,” said an official.

Starting today, a historical debate will be opened on the legal doctrine on the validity of the labor reform. The CGT will insist that the appeal on the precautionary measure does not disable the effect of suspension, while the Government will maintain that it remains effective after the appeal, and until the underlying issue is resolved.

While the obstacle of Justice was consolidated as the Government's main concern, in Balcarce 50 they have better prospects for legislative debate. They are based on the background and the demanding conditions required by the Constitution to do so, that is, the rejection of both chambers. And they hope that the formation of the Permanent Bicameral Commission, where the DNU must be discussed, will be postponed for a long time due to the differences with Kirchnerism over the number of members that correspond to each party (there are eight per chamber, which must reproduce the political representations of both bodies).

The former attribute the delay to Unión por la Patria's insistence on appointing four legislators, arguing that they hold the first minority. But Cristina Kirchner's bishops assure that the Government wants to manipulate the numbers to prevent it from being processed and going to the venue, where they could have problems approving it.

But, if the Bicameral were to be launched, the libertarians count on being able to manage the operation in their favor from the presidency, whose ownership alternates >.Juan Carlos Pagotto, close to the duo of Martín Menem and “Lule” Menem and this year it is a member of the upper house, where they will probably appoint the senator from Rioja

The Government had decided to refer the project to Congress from the beginning. Not so much out of civic responsibility, because they fight to ensure that it is not even discussed, but to respect certain forms. They want to prevent the political terrain from continuing to become muddied, where the opposition accuses him of trying to bypass the legislative body. Since yesterday, sending the complete project became a priority for the President.
