In view of the debate over Law Bases this Wednesday, UCR senator Víctor Zimmerman today rejected the opinion presented by the head of his party, Martin Lousteauand assured that his bloc will accompany the ruling party’s project.
“I am going to support the ruling that we already signed. From the UCR we are proactive. We proposed a countless number of modifications, several of them were incorporated and others were not as appropriate to whoever leads and is the official party,” explained the Chaco native.
In dialogue with Radio Splendid AM 990, Zimmermann considered that the Bases law “will have general support and will have a very intense debate in particular,” in reference to the chapters that still generate conflict between senators.
Regarding his vote, he maintained that he will support the official initiative because “hWe must give the president (Javier Milei) the instruments so that he can execute the policies he needsand give the instruments to the governors,” he said about the Law Bases and the fiscal package.
“Not only our governors are asking for the fiscal package. If you talk to Peronist governors, they also need the resources“explained the radical.
Martín Lousteau presented a minority opinion
The radical senator presented this Friday his minority opinion for the session next Wednesday at 10 in the Upper House. Lousteau is not assured of the treatment of his project, given that the wording agreed upon by the ruling party has voting priority as it is the majority.
However, in the same session the senators could reverse their support for the Government’s text and decide to approve the initiative of the president of the UCR. No matter how you vote, Deputies will define the future of a Bases law that will return very different from how it left that room.
Lousteau’s ruling includes a series of reforms to the Bases law and the fiscal package that the senators requested when signing the majority office in dissent.
