In key hours in the negotiations between the ruling party and the dialogue opponents for the omnibus law, the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos, considered this Sunday that they are
close to closing an agreement
that seals the support of these sectors for the reform of the State of Javier Milei.
Asked in dialogue with Radio Rivadavia about whether the Government and the opposition are close to a deal for changes in the law, he responded: "I think so,
we are moving forward, of course with differences."
In this sense, he added:
"I am optimistic because we have agreed on many aspects of the law.
I do not see that there is an insurmountable obstacle to advancing a majority opinion."
"We have spoken with the blocks that support the general policy of the Government and we have reconciled a series of aspects without moving away from the structure of the Government's proposal," Francos said, while negotiations continue.
The minister confided that the national administration aspires to
"approve the law this week"
in the Chamber of Deputies and "then pass it" to the Senate.
"Once we have a majority opinion, with that we guarantee that the number will be there. But let's still wait for that opinion to be signed, I am optimistic because we have agreed on many aspects of the law," he explained in reference to the meetings that the Last week, government leaders carried out with the presidents of opposition blocs.
Regarding Javier Milei's request for the approval of the law, he analyzed that
the President is "impatient"
for its sanction because "he feels that every day that passes is a day that we lose to generate this transformation in Argentina."
Regarding Milei's trip to the Global Economic Forum in Davos, in Switzerland, he confided that there he found "a very favorable reaction towards the guidelines followed by the Government" and highlighted that the approval of the law "is of interest to foreign investors." of the country who are looking at Argentina as a good opportunity".
"Everyone was asking when the law will be approved. The expectation in the world is incredible, like never before, in relation to the possibilities that Argentina offers. The world is waiting for us to put Argentina in a position to receive investment," Francos observed.
And he explained that the bill seeks to "deregulate, allow investment and the development of private activity," and evaluated that "with more freedom, Argentina will be able to get out of this depression of productive and economic activity that it has to become in a country where there is investment, development and more work.
Asked about the statements of the governor of Santa Fe, Maximiliano Pullaro, who anticipated that he
will not accompany the increase in withholdings
proposed in the project, responded that the provincial leader "is very focused", which is why he believes that they will "reach an agreement ".
"The President is not in favor of withholdings, the crisis means that he has to maintain them," said the official.
A message to the CGT
The Minister of the Interior also spoke about
the CGT strike this Wednesday
and considered that many Argentines are against this measure of force.
"Many people understand that Argentina has to change and say 'the same thing again, they are putting things in the wheel, confronting each other'. We continue with the old and Argentina has to think about the new," he said.
For Francos, "there are many workers in the formal and informal system who want the system to change."
"Let them take the measures they want, but also
think that there are many Argentines watching
, who want a change in the system," he concluded.

"Scioli is playing a relevant role for Argentina in its relationship with Brazil and because of his personality he can fulfill this function (that of secretary). He is one of those different personalities in political activity, and a man who generates a lot with very little" , he emphasized.
For Francos, "it is always an asset for Argentina that Daniel Scioli occupies relevant positions."
"I would never rule out the possibility of having a political leader like Daniel Scioli in the Government," he emphasized.
