In this way, the president of the lower house, Martin Menemis now in a position to send the texts to the Constitutional Affairs, Budget and Finance and General Legislation commissions.
Both bills underwent substantial modifications as they passed through the Senate. For example, the Bases law had significant cuts in the chapter referring to Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI).
At the same time, in privatizations the Government gave in with the exclusion of Argentine Airlines, Correo Argentina and RTA. He also had to cancel the entire pension chapter.
On the fiscal package side, the ruling party had important defeats such as in the restitution of the fourth category of the tax on Profits and in the reduction of the rate of Personal property.
