Governors of different political stripes with dialogue and agreements with the Casa Rosada They continue to give substance to the Base Law. Seven provincial leaders from different forces met with deputies in the Federal Investment Council (CFI) this Tuesday at noon to unify the legislative strategy for the sanction of the fiscal package and the omnibus law, which could be finalized this Thursday in the Lower House.
The Cordoban Martin Llaryora He was one of those who took the lead. The people from Entre Ríos were also there Rogelio Frigeriofrom PRO; the Sanjuanino Marcelo Orrego, former JxC; the radicals Maximiliano Pullarofrom Santa Fe, Alfredo Cornejo, from Mendoza; and Leandro Zderofrom Chaco and even the Peronist Raul Jalilfrom Catamarca, who was on Thursday met hand in hand with Javier Milei, but this time he preferred silence. Her presence was already eloquent enough.
In a 50-minute meeting with assembly overtones at times, according to the description of several of those present, they once again made explicit their support for sanctioning the Base Law and the fiscal package during Thursday’s session, with the modifications requested by the Government. “There was a leak and there should be no surprises,” they said from the radical bench.
remained option ruled out that motivated some of them to first secure the fiscal package and then sanction the basic law.
After the last excursion of the Deputy Chief of Staff José Rolandi, this Monday, to Congress, the Executive has already resigned and will not insist on the privatization of Aerolíneas Argentinas, the Correos and the public media that the ruling party negotiated to lower it to obtain half-sanction from the Senate.
On the other hand, they will insist – although it is a co-participatory tax – with the strong reduction of Personal Assets -to facilitate laundering- and with the return of the fourth category of Profits. Some of the legislators present at the meeting pointed out the paradox that Axel Kicillof would benefit from an increase in co-participation, but will not pay the political cost of supporting a higher tax burden.
Miguel Pichetto, president of the Podemos Federal Coalition block – where the Civic Coalition no longer participates – ordered the debate in which the radical also participated Rodrigo de Loredo and Emilio Monzó, among others. The absolute majority that the ruling party requires to insist on the articles that the Deputies approved and the Senate rejected is those present, which is practically equivalent to a simple majority. They imagine a short legislative process beyond the privilege issues that will lengthen the session.
The governors did not make bombastic statements of support at the conclusion of the meeting They didn’t even sign a document, but it wasn’t necessary either.. Several of them reiterated their support directly at the Casa Rosada, where they went to sign agreements with Guillermo Francos to rehabilitate public works that were paralyzedone of the keys that the Government to lubricate wills, in addition to the most selective ATN.
Among them were Pullaro – who last week had publicly complained to Milei for the lack of investment in works – and Orrego. “We want Profits to come out, it gives us certainty. The RIGI (the large investment promotion regime) is very important to us. There is a GDP and a half buried in the mountain range“explained the man from San Juan, who arrived in Buenos Aires in the morning along with a dozen of his peers to participate in the Federal Memory Meeting, organized by the AMIA.
Claudio Poggi, from San Luis, was not in the CFI but made his support explicit after signing the framework agreements with Francos in Balcarce 50. “I bet they insist on the project that came from Deputies, with Profits”. It is important for the Nation and for the provinces.
The provincial leader of San Luis will participate this Wednesday at 10 in the morning in a summit of JxC governors at the Buenos Aires government headquarters. The opposition coalition – broken in Congress – seeks to position itself without clear leadership. With the excuse of an agenda, Pullaro and Orrego announced that they will not be in the game, just like the man from Corrientes. Gustavo Valdesfocused on the provincial crisis in his province that triggered Loan’s disappearance.
Ignacio Torres, from Chubut – who was not at the CFI, because he was returning from a tour in Italy, where he met with Foreign Minister Diana Mondino – will be present at the meeting promoted by Jorge Macri. The president of Chubut supports the sanction of the Bases law but continues to express his rejection of the return of the fourth category of Profits, like the rest of the Patagonian governors.
