Manuel Adorni: "At some point the law will become a reality"
The presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni , assured today that the Government does not rule out calling a plebiscite or resorting to presidential decrees to stop the Omnibus Law , which finally returned to commission after the ruling party did not obtain the votes to approve it in the discussion in particular. Furthermore, within the framework of his usual press conference, he defended the publication of a list with the deputies who voted for and against yesterday.
“All the constitutional tools are being evaluated and the decision will be made to follow the path that we believe is most correct and that has the greatest speed,” Adorni said in the Casa Rosada when asked about the possibility of President Javier Milei resorting to those tools.
“We are evaluating it. “We are not going to allow them to stop the Argentina of the future,” she insisted.
Yesterday, after the ruling party did not receive the support of the blocks to approve articles that they consider key, it was decided by majority to adjourn the session and return the initiative to the legislative commission. The Government's decision was subsequently accompanied by harsh criticism of the deputies of the so-called "dialogue opposition" who, despite their support during the general vote, did not approve some of the articles in particular considered key by the Cassa Rosada.
As Adorni said today, this outcome was not a surprise to the Government, since they were aware that it could happen. “The president is calm,” the spokesperson said. In any case, he continued the criticism for the legislators who voted against.
“We were struck by the applause when this happened, we did not understand if they were applauding that 6 out of 10 kids are poor in Argentina, if they were amused that an employer cannot hire employees in Argentina. We didn't quite understand what they were laughing at. Apparently they laughed at wanting to stay in the past, in a stagnant and decadent Argentina ,” Adorni said.
In addition to ratifying the statements of Minister Luis Caputo that what happened with the Omnibus Law did not affect the Government's economic plan, Adorni defended the publication that was made from the social network account X of the Presidency Office with a list of how each deputy voted, pointing to those who did not accompany.
“ There was some discomfort regarding the mention of the deputies who voted against. I would like to clarify that the information that was provided is public information, you can see it on the website of the Chamber of Deputies. And the president always said that he was going to expose the lies, that his commitment is to the people and that he was always going to defend the truth and moral honesty . All that was done was to expose public information. “Everyone will be able to make their own guesses,” explained Adorni.
“Everything is necessary and urgent, so this thing about me voting for this thing and not that… There are 144 legislators who voted in favor of the law in general. Each of the Argentines can go to review the list of what happened to each of them in the particular vote. Furthermore, many of those legislators who modified their intention to change were legislators who were voted for the change a few months ago,” the spokesperson insisted.
Beyond the list published last night, President Javier Milei harshly criticized the deputies in recent hours. From Israel, he vented his anger with adjectives such as “criminals, traitors and enemies of Argentina . ” Even on social media he shared lists and photos of each of them.
Adorni referred to that situation: “Of course, a pre-session agreement to move forward with the vote in particular was broken. Review the list of votes and you will realize who acted in bad faith or against what the people want. When we talk about bad faith, betrayal, or caste, the truth is that we do not speak for ourselves. "We came to govern for all Argentines and we feel that the betrayal of those who changed their minds regarding what led them to the bank gives the impression that they betrayed us all."
Asked about how the negotiation with the governors will continue regarding the fiscal issue, Adorni was forceful: “ What we had said was that after approving the law, we were going to discuss the economic chapter. If the law is not approved, we will see how the events arise.”
