Politics Omnibus Law: a chronology of an early end for failing to comply with the first Congressional mandate

[ArtmikeGG]

The "Omnibus" law, announced with enthusiasm by the Executive, had a bumpy ride in the Argentine Congress. In spite of its initial approval, it returned to commissions and remained stagnant. During its treatment, there were mistakes and inexperience on the part of the ruling party, as well as maneuvers by the opposition. The failure to comply with the first legislative commandment, i.e., to go to the chamber without the necessary votes, was evident.



The presence of Luis Caputo as an absent official in the presentations and the lack of clarity in the official version of the bill were some of the stumbling blocks. In spite of the debates in commissions, an opinion was reached which generated more problems than solutions, and several legislators were discredited.

The opposition, especially the pro-dialogue sectors, also had their share of responsibility for not being able to control their own legislators. Despite the pressures and last minute proposals, the vote in particular revealed discrepancies and anticipated defeats for the ruling party.



The future of the omnibus law is uncertain, especially with the absence of Milei and the need to negotiate with questioned ministers. Although the President continues to expose the opposition, his main challenge remains inflation.

The Government included Carolina Píparo in the list of "traitors" for rejecting a section of the omnibus law.


Congresswoman Carolina Píparo, who was a libertarian candidate for the governorship of Buenos Aires and shared the last campaign with Milei, was criticized by the national government for voting against the omnibus law. The President had considered her to head ANSES, but then opted for Giordano.

Píparo defended her vote against, arguing that she only opposed a modification on trusts and wished the government temperance to reassure Argentines. During the session, La Libertad Avanza achieved the approval of the first six articles of the law, but failed to obtain votes for the State reforms, which led to the decline of the session.

After the fourth intermission, the ruling party adjourned the session due to lack of agreement on the chapter on privatizations. Hours later, President Milei criticized the parliamentarians who voted against, calling them "traitors" and "enemies of a better Argentina".
