The new pension moratorium was approved in Congress by 134 votes in favor and 107 against.
Once the initiative promoted by La Cámpora was accepted, the celebration by the Kirchner deputies took place as in a field:
with applause, jumps and shouts they sang the Peronist march in the middle of the venue
.
Something that generated enormous repudiation from the opposition.
Seconds after the screen showed the results with the advantage for the approval of the law, the triumph was celebrated with relief by the ruling party that together with the guests who were on the platters of the venue sang the Peronist march.
Thus, standing, shouting and with their fingers in a V, the deputies celebrated with a more tribune style.
Almost like being in a football stadium.
For this reason, from the opposition, incredulous, they tried to stop something that was getting louder and louder.
"Go out and celebrate the deficit outside
," the PRO deputy, Silvia Lospennato, rebuked, unsuccessfully.
For her part, Cecilia Moreau, president of the Chamber of Deputies, tried, albeit vaguely, to stop the songs and festivities.
"Please, please", she asked, although without much intention of achieving it.
On the other hand, he did chicane another deputy, Hernán Lombardi, from PRO, who asked him to stop the shouting: "Well, what do you want me to do? Throw the deputies out of the compound. Tell those of your block that they know you
, who sing it under their breath
, "he launched.
On social networks, the opponents began to share what was experienced inside the compound with criticism of the song of the march.
One of them was
Martín Tetaz
: "They mortgage the future of Argentina with a moratorium that will be paid with fewer retirements than what they contributed and more fiscal deficit financed with inflationary issuance; yes, singing the Peronist march."
Then Cristian Ritondo
joined
: "Kirchnerism celebrates misery for today and hunger for tomorrow."
And also the radical Danya Tavela: "When inflation in February reaches 6%, when you can't buy school supplies for your children, remember who made this political act!!!"
True to his ironic style,
Fernando Iglesias
was another of those who showed his anger on the networks: "Approved the umpteenth retirement patch to be paid by those who contributed all their lives, by Argentines with inflation and by the next government. The Peronist march
sounds , inflation and poverty rises. Long live Perón! Don't falter, comrades
!"
For his part, the liberal José Luis Espert expressed his discomfort: "Peronist march from the stands to vote for
a new social security moratorium so that retirees continue to starve
. Stockholm syndrome for all"
This was the vote for the new pension moratorium
The session began after 11, with 129 legislators present.
For that, the 118 of the Frente de Todos had perfect attendance.
They were joined by legislators from the Left Front, the United Provinces bloc -missionaries and Rio Negros- and the Federal Interbloc: the two socialists from Santa Fe, Alejandro "Topo" Rodríguez and Graciela Camaño.
They had already advanced that if the agenda was of consensus, they were willing to accompany.
The approval was achieved with those same actors, plus the three people from Cordoba who report to Governor Juan Schiaretti who did not give a quorum but later voted in favor.
Faithful to their strategy, of not giving a quorum or supporting any initiative in rejection of the Impeachment Trial against the Supreme Court, the deputies of Together for Change did not go down to the premises until the ruling party achieved the necessary number to start the debate.
But at the same time they flatly rejected the project, which they considered a "patch" to the "detriment of all retirees."
It was finally approved by 134 votes in favor and 107 against.
The initiative promoted by senators from La Cámpora, together with the head of ANSES, Fernanda Raverta, proposes a payment system so that people who are old enough but do not meet the necessary years of contributions can access retirement.
It is estimated that it will benefit 800 thousand people.
