The president of the Chamber of Deputies was cautious about the possibility of discussing the tribute in Congress. The future of the Omnibus Law in the face of the May Pact
The president of Deputies, Martín Menem (Nicolas Stulberg)
The president of the Chamber of Deputies, the libertarian Martín Menem (La Rioja), stated this Sunday that the restitution of the Income Tax “will go into another stage” and will not be tied to the debate on the shortened Omnibus Law , which is still delayed. Executive and Congress wait for the next few days.

“I think it will go to another stage,” said Menem when asked before entering the pre-affiliation event of La Libertad Avanza in the City of Buenos Aires, an event promoted by the general secretary of the Presidency and sister of the head of State, Javier Milei .
The legislator participated in the launch of the party with which the ruling party will seek to build an electoral team thinking about next year's legislative elections. Next to Menem was the president of La Libertad Avanza, Juan Pablo Scalese . The leaders had a brief exchange with the media who came to the bar, located in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo, where the membership campaign was officially launched. The objective is to strengthen the seal that contains President Milei's militancy.
In this context, Menem referred to the path that the Bases Law will follow in this new stage of legislative discussion. In effect, the president of the Chamber explained that it is the same project that was already rejected in the Deputies, but that on this occasion he will be able to find a different opinion that modifies its content, thus making its approval possible this time.
On the other hand, he clarified again that the fiscal package - as the government calls the set of tax reforms that the law initially included - will be treated separately. The same fate will have, according to the Riojan, the restitution of the Income Tax, an issue that is required by some political spaces in the face of the drop in revenue.
In this way, the head of the Lower House added information on a topic that the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos , had already referred to, who earlier told about the advanced negotiations with provincial leaders of the former Together for Change to reinstate the tribute via Congress, with a floor of between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000 .
According to the ruling party's calculations, which began to come into question in recent days, the renewed "bases" law will seek to be approved at the end of the current month in Deputies, to then have a month of discussion in the Senate and be sanctioned before the eventual signing of the May Pact that Milei proposed to the governors. Despite the intentions, this goal is still far away.
One of the main concerns in official offices is the lack of synchronization with national officials who negotiate with self-proclaimed “dialogue” blocs with the Casa Rosada. Something similar happens in the Senate. There is even an alert for contradictions between the original initiative and the one sheared.

The debate in Congress
The mega DNU establishes, in its first article, the declaration of “the public emergency in economic, financial, fiscal, administrative, pension, tariff, health and social matters until December 31, 2025.” That is, eight. Meanwhile, the draft of the initiative - also called "bases" - imposes four: administrative, economic, financial and energy for a period of one year. The difference is that, regarding the latter, the Executive demands the delegation of powers, a vexing issue for some sectors that perceive themselves as “dialoguists . ”Another juicy topic that exposed part of the opposition, during the debate of the first law in Deputies, was that of trust funds . “It is understood that now they want to eliminate them. In this way, it would be avoided to repeat the mistake of the summer due to the interests that appeared in the middle of the venue. The problem is that it is not clear in the fifth article if they return to the Treasury. I would have to go to co-participation. If not, we will leave a mountain of money for the Executive to convert that into the new National Treasury Contributions (ATN) to negotiate with the provinces bilaterally. There are examples from recent years that were not seen by any of the previous administrations. And, about them, anything was done,” they expressed from another opposition bench.
As reported by this media over the weekend, article 71 of the new wording is “impossible to vote” for the members of We Make the Federal Coalition in the Lower House, because it is too broad and indeterminate . “The national Executive Branch is empowered to order the repeal or modification of regulations on private economic activity that lead to an increase in its costs, limit the exercise of the autonomy of will or cause a shortage of goods and services without sufficient justification of public interest.” ”says the text of the draft.
On the other hand, they made some points to the Incentive Regime for Large Investments . The “ RIGI ” implies tax benefits and also exceptions in exchange matters for investment projects in strategic areas. Investments developed within this framework will be considered of “national interest” to guarantee their protection.
