President
Alberto Fernández
added a new chapter to the scandal that marked the session of the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday and affirmed that, because of the opposition, Congress could not approve an economic aid package for the tourism sector, which is hit by the pandemic.
Thus, he contradicted the ruling party itself that approved that law this morning, after carrying out the session despite the resistance of
Together for Change.
"The pandemic showed that solidarity exists. It also existed in the industry," he said at an event for Industry Day with the UIA.
"If the pandemic has seen a damaged sector, that is tourism.
Yesterday we had to discuss a law on tourism and we could not do it,
" he said.
Hours later, in the Government they evaluate if they finally consider valid the vote promoted by the ruling party.
Since 7 pm, the President with the head of the Chamber of Deputies,
Sergio Massa,
and the head of the Frente de Todos bench, Máximo Kirchner
, have been meeting at the Quinta de Olivos
.
"In a special session, the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation made into law the project of Sustaining and Productive Reactivation of the National Tourist Activity and gave a half sanction to the initiative of the Executive Power to reform the Fisheries Law, which aims to expand and update the fines for illegal fishing in the Argentine Sea, "the Deputies website had indicated this Wednesday.
The official gazette details that "the norm destined to reactivate tourism in the framework of the pandemic aims to implement measures for a period of 180 days, which may be extended by the Executive Power for the same term, if so necessary. The bill, with half approval from the Senate, obtained 127 affirmative votes and 2 abstentions and was converted into law.
