The Deputy Chief of Staff of the Nation, José Rolandi , today led a new round of negotiations with part of the dialogue opposition, which at this time hopes that the Government will make new changes to the Omnibus Law to reach greater consensus.
The Government envoy, who occupied the offices of the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem , first met with representatives of radicalism. On Tuesday in the plenary session of commissions the UCR voted divided: half signed the majority opinion with dissents, while the others decided not to support any office.
For radicalism, deputies Danya Tavela, Roxana Reyes, Soledad Carrizo, Lisandro Nieri and Pamela Verasay, and the parliamentary secretary of the bloc Alejandro Cacace, attended today.

Then it was the turn of Miguel Ángel Pichetto and other representatives of the diverse bloc We Make the Federal Coalition, which brings together non-K Peronists, former PRO, socialists from Santa Fe and Cordobans who respond to Governor Martín Llaryora.
As Infobae learned , the deputy chief of staff once again listened to the points on which there is no agreement, mainly withholdings, retirements, privatizations, FGS, money laundering and delegated powers. “We went to explain our arguments for requesting the changes, it was to explain why we are going to reject some articles if there are no changes,” explained a representative who participated in the meeting.
Along the same lines, another member of the bench led by Rodrigo de Loredo pointed out that "now the ball is on the Government's side, we have to listen to the feedback on what they are willing to modify."
“The government envoys do not have the capacity to negotiate, they took all the points, but we made no progress. If they want to advance they will have to come with alternative wordings; If not, the articles will be put to a vote,” they added.

The meeting with the Pichetto bloc was not more encouraging for the ruling party, since the deputies left tired with the lack of definition of the Government.
During these hours, the entire bloc seeks to unify criteria, around the minority opinion of the Civic Coalition , to directly go to the venue and “enforce the number of votes.”
Through social networks, deputy Juan Manuel López , of the CC, summarized the position of his space. “The opinion of the Civic Coalition is an alternative to the problems presented by the government: it preserves retirees from inflation, offers conditions of predictability for the countryside, makes it possible to end the fiscal deficit and respects the Constitution,” he published.
In relation to retirement mobility , the CC proposes “a formula that ensures that assets do not lose against inflation and are updated monthly from the enactment of the law, with an initial recomposition.”
“You cannot expect the field to make a greater effort than it has been doing for years. We want to set a deadline for export duties (withholdings) and for affected producers to be rewarded with Treasury bonds,” he continued.
They also insisted on helping to achieve zero deficit “without adjusting retirees, the countryside and workers” by eliminating tax benefits such as those of the Tierra del Fuego Regime to increase revenue by 2% of GDP.
“If they do not accept, everything will be voted against, for example in withholdings and retirement mobility,” they said from the block. When asked by Infobae , they did not consider the negotiations over as they clarified that if they are summoned by the ruling party they will go and listen. However, they are already working directly on the changes they are going to propose on the premises.
