The president received members of the La Libertad Avanza bloc of the Lower House, in a meeting at the Government headquarters. The meeting took place before the start of the treatment of the mega law that has more than 660 articles, which includes extensive reforms.

The president Javier Milei received this morning the block of deputies from La Libertad Avanza, before the start of the debate in the lower house, before of the beginning of the debate on the so-called “omnibus law” and the DNU which promoted strong deregulations in the functioning of the economy, confirmed to Infobae official sources.

The ruling party has 38 legislators in Deputies and negotiates support for the reforms with sectors of Together for Change, mainly from the PRO, provincial parties, a sector of the Radical Civic Union and Peronist legislators.

Milei received a large delegation of national legislators along with the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos. Among those summoned were the president of the lower house, Martín Menem, and the president of the LLA bloc, Oscar Zago .

The Commissions of Budget and Finance, Constitutional Affairs, General Legislation, Foreign Relations and Impeachment will be established. The bill will be discussed in the first four. “Everything is fixed,” said an important official of the ruling party, who also anticipated that the idea is that “next week the project will begin to be discussed.”

However, these definitions are taken for now without dialogue or consensus with other political sectors. This dynamic has been generating discomfort in potentially allied blocs, which have not yet defined whether they will be in the discussion of the reforms announced by President Milei on the side of the libertarians or, perhaps, of Peronism, which has an openly critical position towards the administration that is It started last December 10.

From the Union for the Homeland (UP) bloc, the main opposition scheme, they let it be known that they did not reach any agreement with the ruling party and that they found out about the formation of the commissions through the media . “They believe that they can push everything away”, complained an important Peronist deputy.

The negotiation is focused on the so-called “omnibus law”, because the DNU that promoted strong deregulations in the economy is running on a different track. In the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate there are no majorities in either the commissions or the legislative bodies to push forward the debate. The law that was approved during Cristina Kirchner's government established that a decree of this type can only be repealed if both chambers, in full, vote against it.

“The DNU came into force on December 29 and is already in force. The institutions are functioning and Justice will analyze whether it is constitutional. In Congress they will discuss the law 'Bases and Starting Points for the Freedom of Argentines' and in the courts the decree of necessity and urgency. The institutions are working,” a source from the ruling party explained to Infobae.
