There has been two weeks of debate and no progress has been made, so he accepted changes in the RIGI and money laundering. The weight of the Patagonians in Profits and the incorporation of Villarruel to the negotiations
By David Cayon
Estela de Carlotto was in the Senate (Senate Communication)
The Senate of the Nation closes its second week of debate on the Base Law and the fiscal package with the frustration of the ruling party and the acceptance of a new schedule for the projects. The idea of an event on May 25 with Javier Milei with the approved laws was far away . As far as the comfortable victory in the Chamber of Deputies.
Around 11, the General Legislation commissions - headed by the libertarian Bartolomé Abdala -; Budget and Treasury; and Constitutional Affairs of the Senate began the debate, where LLA sought to finish listening to speakers and, with the greatest expectations, try to pass the opinion to the signature. After 8 pm the exhibitors continued, but expectations had disappeared.
Throughout the day, businessmen, former officials, film directors, scientists and members of civil society were speaking , mostly invited by the Unión por la Patria and the UCR bloc, the sectors that present the greatest criticism of the libertarian laws. .
In the middle of this debate, the Chamber was revolutionized because the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos, and the Deputy Chief of Staff, José Rolandi, appeared in Victoria Villarruel 's office . The two Executive negotiators met with the Vice President to join her in the conversation . The rules are bogged down in the Upper House and Villarruel, who managed to build bridges with different sectors of the opposition, was not taken into account by the Casa Rosada for the talks. Starting today, she joins the table in search of speeding up the processes and getting the votes that the ruling party needs to enact the laws.

In this scheme, the ruling party has already accepted that the rule, if approved, will be made with changes and the depth of those changes and the number of votes they have in the chamber are fundamental for the future of the initiatives when they return to Deputies.

What the ruling party seeks, and what legislators from the dialogue sectors hope that LLA understands, is that a rejection of some central article could mean that the law falls. “If the 13 radicals vote against you, plus the 33 from UP, plus someone from another bloc, you could have 48 or more votes against and that would make it impossible for you to replace it in the Deputies,” they noted.
The reasoning is simple. If something is voted with a simple majority in the Senate, Deputies can insist on the original text with the same simple majority. If it is rejected by two-thirds, the ruling party would have to get the same amount in the Lower House, something that seems impossible today.
Another point that worries the ruling party is the weight of the Patagonian legislators. All of them - regardless of the bloc they belong to - oppose the modifications of Profits and the privatization of Aerolíneas Argentinas and Correo Argentino . Likewise, the mining provinces look askance at the Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI). “If all Patagonians vote for you together, you will lose. They are 25% of the Chamber, if you add the rest of the legislators of Unión por la Patria they will add a number of votes that is irreversible in Deputies," explained a source from the upper House who closely follows the "poroteo" .
The fiscal package was intended to be debated today afternoon, but the duration of the presentations was extended during the last few days, so the senators determined that this debate would take place next week at the Budget Committee meeting. and Treasury .
In this way, the list of speakers who analyzed different aspects of the Base Law will conclude this day, after three days of exchange between specialists and legislators.
