The president of the Union for the Homeland bloc in the Chamber of Deputies, German Martinezquestioned the president of the legislative body, Martin Menemfor denying the request for a special session to discuss the DNU 70/23 that the opposition required. In addition, he said that they made an administrative presentation this Saturday for the head of the Lower House to reconsider his position.
“We are accustomed to these arbitrary and authoritarian practices in the Chamber of Deputies. Let us remember what happened in the Impeachment Commission with the appointment of the official representative herself. Marcela Pagano“said Martínez in AM750.
This morning, Martín Menem rejected the request for a special session to discuss DNU 70 that Unión por la Patria requested for next Tuesday, arguing that the treatment of the new bases bill called for Monday could be very long. According to the protagonists themselves, the new Executive regulations would have the necessary numbers to achieve a quorum and even approval.
“It seems to me that he is overreaching”warned the head of the majority opposition bloc in the chamber, and pointed out that Martín Menem fails to comply with the duties of a public official and articles 35 and 36 of the House regulations.
According to Martínez, there is no history of a similar situation and the Riojan would be obliged to call sessions if requested by a block of ten or more deputies, with a specific topic, on a specific day and time. “President (from the Chamber of Deputies) is obliged to do so, it is not an optional capacity”stated in Give and take.
The Santa Fe legislator’s complaint also extended to the rest of the “dialogue deputies” who for several months have claimed that Milei’s DNU is unconstitutional and that on Monday, one day before the – until now – denied treatment session of the mega DNU , will provide a quorum to the Executive to approve the Bases law. For the head of the block, both projects must be debated in parallel.
“Some say that the new project (Bases Law) It has fewer delegated powers than before, that is a half-truth because, since DNU 70/23 is in force, you have to take all the delegations that Milei has by the decree and all the ones it can have by law,” Martínez argued, and said that the ruling party’s new proposal ““It’s just as horrible as February.”.
The labor reform chapter
The project offered by the radical deputy of Córdoba Rodrigo De Loredo It was also the focus of criticism from the UxP legislator. On the one hand, he questioned whether the text appeared “From one day to another” and that there were no debates in the Labor Legislation Commission of the National Congress, nor were leaders of the labor movement or labor law specialists summoned.
“Neither (Albert) Flamarique in the year 2000 was encouraged to do so much“He was (Fernando) De La Rúa’s Minister of Labor at the time of the bribes in the Senate, and at least in Congress they allowed you to debate,” Martínez said ironically, and asked “who do those deputies play for?”
Finally, he considered that the text of labour reform “disarms” protections that the worker has and obligations of the employer that “They are going to put the worker in a greater state of vulnerability”.
