The national authorities want the project to have the greatest possible support from the opposition to prevent it from being rejected again in the Chamber of Deputies. The articles that continue to generate conflict
By Galligani Federico
The Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos, tries to reach the latest agreements (NA)
Last Monday night, under the torrential rain that fell in the City of Buenos Aires, a small group of opposition leaders led by the governor of Catamarca, Raúl Jalil , stopped by the Casa Rosada to meet with the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos , before heading to the annual dinner of the Center for the Implementation of Public Policies for Equity and Growth (CIPPEC).
The provincial leader took advantage of his visit to the capital to continue with the latest negotiations regarding the Base Law before it is formally discussed in the plenary session of commissions, where the final changes will be made to the text prior to the vote in the chamber.
Although all parties agree that the new reform package is already more worked out and has greater consensus than its original version, presented at the end of last December, there are still some articles that generate some conflict.
The national authorities do not want the project to continue to drag on over time and that is why, in addition to receiving governors, heads of different blocks of the Chamber of Deputies and union leaders, they accepted several of the modifications proposed by the "dialogue" opposition. ”.
Raúl Jalil demands some modifications to the Bases Law (Franco Fafasuli)
The objective remains that the initiative reaches the chamber as soon as possible and with the necessary votes to be approved in its entirety, so the ruling party decided to leave out all the issues that could hinder the law, to debate them in the future. with another legislative composition.
However, some governors still demand from the Casa Rosada certain measures that are not in the draft that circulated this week and that, in part, was what determined the postponement of the debate in the plenary session of commissions.
The idea of La Libertad Avanza was that the discussion would begin this Tuesday or Wednesday, at the latest, but in the end this did not happen, although the Secretary of Parliamentary Relations, Omar de Marchi, took the opportunity to send the fiscal package.
The ruling party intends for both projects to be discussed and voted on at the same time, but for them to be approved there are still pending negotiations, since some sectors, for example, ask that the co-participation of the Income tax, renamed as personal income, be increased.
This was precisely one of the concerns that Jalil conveyed to Francos in their meeting on Monday, since the Catamarca president considers that his province, where several mining companies operate, for example, is harmed by the current scheme.
For his part, his counterpart from Santa Fe, Maximiliano Pullaro , requests that the floor from which one can enter the Large Investment Incentive Regime (RIGI) be lowered, one of the main initiatives promoted by President Javier Milei in the Base Law.
Pullaro also raised objections to the Government's initiative
However, the Government considers that the requirements already established in the draft should not be modified, because, if the amount is reduced, the benefit would reach very minor investments and it would then be "a tax reform rather than a new regime”, which goes against the spirit of the measure.
The Minister of the Interior is also in permanent telephone communication with governors and this Wednesday, in fact, the conversation with those of Misiones, Hugo Passalacqua , and Salta, Gustavo Sáenz , delayed the meeting with the deputies of the Federal Innovation bloc.
The space responds to those two provinces (Pamela Calletti, Pablo Outes, Yolanda Vega, for Salta, and Alberto Arrua, Carlos Fernandez, Yamila Ruiz, Daniel Vancsik, for Misiones), but also has a Rionegrino, Agustín Domingo.
While in the Casa Rosada the deputies were listened to by Francos, in the capital of Salta, the general secretary of the Presidency, Karina Milei , and the head of the lower house, Martín Menem , got a photo with Sáenz himself, who received them to talk “about the current situation and the main needs of the province and the country,” as specified in his X account.

The Federal Innovation bloc raised concerns with the official about the tobacco chapter , which was part of the first omnibus bill that the Executive had sent, but which was removed from the new version.
The Radical Civic Union (UCR) has already pressed for this part of the package, which establishes that all cigarette companies pay the same taxes, be reincorporated and the issue threatens to be placed on the agenda, although the national authorities insist with their position of address the issue in a separate project and later.
In the same way, the UCR incorporated in its labor reform proposal the elimination of mandatory solidarity contributions, which bothered the unions and the ruling party would remove it from the final text in the plenary session of commissions.
All these differences are what the Government, mainly with the help of Francos, is trying to solve before next Tuesday, when both the Base Law and the fiscal package are scheduled to begin to be debated, so it is not ruled out that continue meetings with the opposition.
