“I am sure that we are on track so that next week the law we are debating will have half a sanction,” he said Ritondo after the meeting. The agreement with the PRO reaches 95%, as explained to this medium.
Deputies of the UCR and We Make the Federal Coalition
After this first meeting with the PRO, the Government representatives received Rodrigo de Loredo, head of the the UCR. Then the representatives of the block We make the Federal Coalition, led by Miguel Ángel Pichetto, entered.
Rodrigo de Loredo explained that Francos and Caputo arrived with a draft with a “thick line” stippling of all the changes that the Government accepted.

On the other hand, the Government agreed to shorten the list of emergencies and reduce the delegated powers requested by the Executive Branch to a period of one year to be able to skip Congress.
Regarding privatizations, the libertarians asked to maintain the list that includes 40 state companies that could be sold. They would only remove, at the request of the opposition, YPF. In addition, the final wording would include a clause that obliges the Executive to send to Congress the specifications for privatization. This would allow the opposition to have the power to stop the process in a particular case.
Although the articles were not worked on in detail, they indicated to Infobae that substantial changes were made in the chapters of Culture, Environment, Education, Health, Security and Justice. “We have to look at the final text,” they said from radicalism.

They only showed marked differences regarding privatizations: HCF announced that it does not agree with the privatization of six companies (among which stand out YPF, ARSAT, Nucleoeléctrica, Banco Nación and YMAD) and proposes a partial privatization scheme while retaining state control.
Like the radicals, they announced that they are waiting for the final draft of the text, which will arrive between Sunday and Monday, but they were optimistic. Everything is aimed at the Omnibus Law being discussed next Thursday.
