“There is no record since the return of democracy that in six months of government a president does not have an instrument to put together a road map,” Judge supported the President during the debate and added: “Then we will see if the instrument he chose works, if the economy is reactivated and the anguish is alleviated.”
Along the same lines, Senator Álvarez Rivero supported the official initiative and celebrated the sanction: “A great step for Córdoba and the country to have more investments, more work to train, more freedom,” she said after the approval of the Bases Law. And in the previous session, during the debate she highlighted: “Today the conditions – the framework – of Argentina do not attract investments. We want work, we want more investment. We have to free Argentina a little and those investments are going to rain.”
For her part, legislator Alejandra Vigo this Thursday, after the official victory for the project, indicated that the Bases law is a “tool” that is granted to the national government “for its management.”
