Simplify the divorce
process
, charge foreigners who want to study in Argentine
universities
and eliminate
Simultaneous and Mandatory Open Primaries (PASO)
.
While politics - the ruling party and the opposition - focuses the discussion in Congress over the Omnibus Law on economic issues, the greatest support from public opinion is achieved by these three measures listed at the beginning of the note, about which much less was heard. in the parliamentary debate.
The data is provided by a
new national survey
by the
University of San Andrés (Udesa)
, in preparation for the
first month of Javier Milei's administration as president
in January .
The results of the study, of 1,007 cases throughout the country, were presented with +/- 3.15% margin of error.
Clarín
already advanced part of the report, which passed through the people's filter
12 key officials
of the Libertarian Cabinet and conspicuously left Diana Mondino as leader.
The chancellor was the only one of the leaders evaluated who achieved more positive than negative image.
The new crack
A general look at the work of
Udesa
allows a first conclusion:
a new crack seems to be forming
around the figure of Milei and his way of managing.
The
first data
of the study presented is
very particular
.
It is
bad and good at the same time for the new management
.
People are asked how
satisfied or dissatisfied
they are with the
"general state of things
. "
Only
26%
say they are
"satisfied" (bad)
, but it is
more than double
the number who were satisfied in
Alberto Fernández's last month (good).
When the approval/disapproval of the Milei government is requested, the polarization is total: 48% for each side (plus 4% for "ns/nc").
Regarding
public policies
, the three with
the highest approval
are
security (40%), foreign affairs (37%) and defense (37%)
;
and the three with
the lowest
,
public works (31%), energy (30%) and health (30%)
.
In the first case, the change in discourse is clear with the arrivals of ministers Patricia Bullrich, Diana Mondino and Luis Petri;
The second could be influenced by the interruption of works, and increases in rates and prepayments.
Among the main concerns, inflation remains, which thus becomes a transversal problem: it was at the top with Mauricio Macri, Alberto Fernández and Milei.
The first measures and the omnibus law under the magnifying glass
A kind of crack also forms when asked about the
"economic measures of the Government since it took office
. "
45
%
"agree"
(
19% "very" and 26% "somewhat") and
49
%
"disagree"
(38% "very" and 11% "somewhat").
More forceful is the support for the anti-picketing protocol, which prevents these groups from making total cuts and which provides for severe sanctions for those who do not comply. 60% agree, against 35% who oppose.
Regarding the mega
Omnibus Law
project , which proposes a profound reform of the State, in the economic, judicial, political and even environmental spheres, two proposals are made.
One general and another with several of the main proposals.
In the first case, a fairly proportional crack arises again, with
38% support and 40% rejection
.
But more interesting, perhaps, is when the articles are broken down.
As explained at the beginning of the note,
several of the measures most supported
by respondents
are probably left out of the debate or are not at the center of the current discussion
, because they are not the core of the economic reforms.

Agreement/disagreement with the omnibus law

Thus, the change that achieves
the most agreement (61%)
is the one that proposes
simplifying the divorce process
.
The second, with
60 points of support
, is more controversial and is the one that wants
to pay fees for foreign students at Argentine universities
.
One
step further down
there are two topics that could be left for future debates and removed from the current discussion so as not to hinder the progress of other articles.
One is the
elimination of the PASO (56% agree)
and the other is the
implementation of the single ballot (55%).
The
other proposals
that obtain
more than 50 points
are: the one that proposes that there be an
exam
for students
when they finish secondary school
and the one that proposes
alleviating penalties
for those who act in
self-defense
against a crime.
At the other end, those with the greatest disagreement, economic issues that are sensitive to parliamentary discussion do appear.
Examples?
Permission to the Executive to take on foreign debt: 8%
support.
Suspension of pension mobility
: barely
10%
.
Increase in withholdings
:
14%
.
Delegation of powers to the Executive
: 14%.
