From this increase, Deputies will receive more than $2.2 million. The legislators earned $1.2 million per month and requested an update in their allowances, mainly those from the provinces who argued the need for cover hotel and rental expenses in the city of Buenos Aires during session days. Martín Menem approved the increase and established that it be paid in three installments.
Who confirmed and gave endorsement for that deputies earn almost double their current salary He was the owner of that chamber, Martin Menemwhose decision could open a new internal storm front in the ruling party as It occurred when Vice President Victoria Villarruel authorized an increase for national senators.
According to what was agreed, the increase will be paid in three installments over the next three months and does not include legislative staff, whose joint participation is negotiated through a parallel track.
Although since Casa Rosada insists on freezing the assets of the parliamentary bodyand in gestures they propose initiatives to roll back the increases that are ultimately not addressed in the legislative sphere, the lack of regulations that establish parameters for salary increases ends up enabling the discretionary items agreed upon by the deputies and? Martin Menempresident of that Chamber, would authorize by resolution to avoid a vote in the chamber.
Therefore, the resolution will bear the signature of Menem alone, after the head of the La Libertad Avanza bloc, Gabriel Bornoroni, would refuse to endorse the increase.
