The Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Melonipublished this Saturday morning (Argentine time) a photo with the president Javier Milei. The representative of the European right chose one in which they are both laughing and she is touching his arm, when she received the libertarian leader on the stage of the G7 yesterday.
To the image he added the typical Argentine phrase, “Long live freedom”written in Italian and with the flags of both countries.
Before, he had uploaded a video with his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modiwhich leads the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). “Hello friends, from #Melodi”, he noted. “Melodi” is the way in which the followers of both leaders name them, due to the union between Meloni and Modi.

As if they were two parallel universes, the Argentina of the almost permanent economic crisis coexists with an entrepreneurial ecosystem that does not stop growing and that continues to seduce international investors.
The resilience, technical training and global vocation of local entrepreneurs end up prevailing in an economic situation dominated by concern about country risk or the threat of a run, which explains why funds from the United States, Mexico or Brazil continue choosing Argentine talent, despite the fact that the global supply of startups is almost infinite (it is estimated that there are more than 600,000 emerging companies worldwide, and the majority are located in the United States and China).
In dialogue with THE NATION and within the framework of the Endeavor Buenos Aires Experience meeting that took place ten days ago, four of the investment funds that are betting the most in the region today explained what they see in Argentine entrepreneurs to finance their projects and why, Despite everything, Argentina continues to be seen outside as a land of unicorns.

The Minister of Human Capital, Sandra Pettovelloelected the former Macrista official as the new head of advisors, Lucas Fernandez Aparicio. The appointment of the official occurs after the resignation, on the last Friday of Fernando Szeresesky, Pettovello’s chief of staff since the beginning of his administration. The departure crowned weeks of extreme tension in the portfolio under which they were absorbed: Labor, Education, Culture and Social Development.
The reasons that convulsed the ministry ranged from the complaint about food stored close to expiration, which they were forced to distribute by justice; the incessant departures of officials and the portfolio’s own denunciation of Pablo de la Torrewho held the Secretary of Children and Family since last December, amid reports of irregularities in contracts with the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI).

Theoretical discussions about institutions usually remain in the background, overshadowed by practice and customs. But certain debates and unresolved differences can lead, in the case of Base Lawto subsequent problems regarding the constitutionality of its articles, so whether or not it will be authorized to make the Chamber of Deputies. The Magna Carta does not specify each particular situation and the law is not an exact science. Therefore, in recent days, faced with the approval in the Senatea heated dispute began between jurists, officials and legislators.
The main controversy revolves around what happens to the chapters that were completely discarded by the Senate (such as Profits or Personal Assets), which operated as a review chamber of the original project. It is of special importance in the face of this norm, which, although it is a complete project, has the characteristics of a compendium of laws as it deals with so many issues in different areas, although for the ruling party they are connected by the economic course that it intends to implement.
The debate is about the interpretation of the article 81 of the National Constitution. Firstly, it establishes that if the reviewing chamber makes “additions or corrections” to the original project, the chamber of origin has two options depending on whether it has been modified with an absolute or aggravated majority. To support the original articles, 50 percent plus one of those present or two-thirds would be required, depending on the vote in the reviewing chamber. If it achieves that same majority, it will be sent to the Executive Branch with the original wording. But, with the modified lyrics.

This week, in the Senate, something more than the fate of a law was at stake. Congress was the arena in which two opposing forces were measured. On the one hand, the will to change; on the other, the resistance to those winds to keep things as they are. Therefore, if the Base Law did not pass, not only would the Government have been faced with a serious problem. In some way, the failure of the official project would have meant the endorsement of the people’s representatives for the corporate homeland and the stagnation of the country, that is, another boost to a process of degradation that has been going on for a long time and seems to have no end. The law came out. Just by one vote, but it came out. By a hair’s breadth, hope for change prevailed.
It operated in Congress, behind the convictions or conveniences of the senators, a force that somehow surpasses them and they cannot ignore, except at a high cost. It is the mandate for change from an exhausted society that is making an unprecedented sacrifice to turn the helm in the direction of the country, convinced that it is unfeasible to continue as we were. This is not an ideological question. The moral and material damage of decades of populism, clientelism and “legalized” mafias to fleece the State is palpable. Enter through the senses. It is felt in the pocket, in the lack of work, in the poverty that is seen in the streets, in the children who are leaving.. There is an unprecedented recognition and maturity in society, a product of how much the fall hurt after the combined impact of the pandemic and the efforts of Kirchnerism, crowned by the blow of his fourth government. The majority of society wants, demands, needs a change. Which does not translate into unconditionally approving the project Javier Milei.
