Despite the tensions that emerge in its exercise of power, the ruling party managed to retain part of the support that expressed discrepancies with its government plan in recent weeks. In addition to the known PRO accompaniment, Freedom Advances was supported by interior minister, Guillermo Francoswho made their offices nodes for building agreements, where the chaotic and confrontational logic of the libertarian paradigm does not enter.
Thus the votes of Oscar Zago and his new space, the MID; to the deputies who are governed by the influence of the governors Santa Fe, Córdoba and Entre Ríos; to the bench of Federal Innovation (who respond to the leaders of Salta, Río Negro and Misiones); and ratified the support of the space Independence, of Tucumans who broke up with Union for the Homeland. Those supports, which splash in We make the Federal Coalition and the UCR sector which continues to support the position of Rodrigo de Loredo as block president, are enough for the Bases law to be approved.

The resistance would come unanimously from Union for the Homeland, the Left Front and Por Santa Cruz. Self-employed workers would also join We make Federal Coalition (the socialists from Santa Fe and Natalia de la Sota) and the most radical critics, who blame members of their party for the fact that the Government did not respect the labor reform project that had been agreed upon with them weeks before and that was already being discussed in committees. However, there is no sum that is enough: if wills are not twisted and unless the unforeseen events that have become recurrent in the current administration occur, on Tuesday after an extensive debate the Bases law will obtain half a sanction.
DNU: Union for the Homeland requested a session to repeal it
With a document signed by the entire block of deputies, Union for the Homeland called a special session for Tuesday to discuss the DNU 70/2023 announced in December by national chain by Javier Milei and that, since that month, it came into force in the legislation of rentals, prepaid, credit cards and supply of gondolas, in other aspects. The decree has already obtained the Senate rejection but it requires a vote in the Lower House to consolidate its repeal.
On Friday night, the presidency of the House notified that the session request will be rescheduled so as not to interrupt the debate on the Bases law. The president of the Peronist bloc, German Martinezdenounced on social networks that “Menem wants to prevent the call by invoking a message he sent two hours later. Unusual and illegal“.
““We will wait for the planned procedure, respecting the actions of the Bicameral Commission,” they point out from radicalism.a fundamental bench if Union for the Homeland You want to avoid encountering a failed session again due to lack of quorum.

Unión por la Patria did not obtain a quorum in its last call for a special session.
The Bicameral Legislative Procedure Commission It met, indeed, last Thursday. At that meeting, he deliberated on 69 decrees in chronological order (67 from Alberto Fernández, 2 from Javier Milei, none of them 70/2023), whose deadlines have expired, given that by regulation they have up to ten days to rule after the promulgation of the DNU. Once the situation normalizes, the commission may have an impact, but its measures will not modify the position of the Lower House, which has passed up the possibility of discussing the presidential decree since March 15.
University budget is discussed with all blocks
Last week, the budget of the national universities motivated a massive mobilization and a subsequent special session in the Chamber of Deputies, which did not take place due to lack of quorum. Subsequently, the two largest blocs of the Acordista opposition, We make the Federal Coalition and the Radical Civic Unionrequested that projects linked to the public education financing will be discussed in committee next Thursday. The surprise? The signature of two deputies who did not provide a quorum, as Miguel Pichetto and Rodrigo de Loredo.
“Let’s get serious about university financing“De Loredo wrote on his social networks. The response was affirmative from the Union for the Homeland and the Left Frontthe two blocks that did go to the special session unanimously, although they will add one condition: include greater reforms. Romina del Plá (FIT)for example, requested the tripling of the educational budget and the declaration of the budget emergency for university social works.
“We demand that the president of the commission include the other projects that have thematic affinity because the call was made with a single project, so with the signature of several deputies we ask that it be incorporated National Teacher Incentive Fund“, he added Itai Hagman (Union for the Fatherland) for Ámbito, to which was added the testimony of Blanca Osuna: “They are issues that have to do with the educational financingbecause it is necessary to have comprehensive views both for universities and for mandatory levels of the system whose teachers are affected by the lack of payment of the FONID and the Salary Compensation Fund”. The ruling, until it reaches the floor, promises debates.
