At least
three deputies who make up the Unión por la Patria bloc will not vote against the Omnibus Law
that President Javier Milei sent to Congress and that the ruling party seeks to give half a sanction after a frenetic negotiation that was carried out with sectors of the dialogue opposition. and that forced the Government to eliminate more than a hundred articles.
These are
three legislators who respond to the governor of Tucumán, Osvaldo Jaldo,
who traveled to Buenos Aires to support his deputies at a time when the law of "Bases and Starting Points for the Freedom of Argentines" is being discussed, better known as Omnibus Law, which this Tuesday obtained an opinion from the plenary session of the Constitutional Affairs, General Legislation, and Budget and Finance commissions.
Of the five deputies for Tucumán that make up the
Unión por la Patria bloc,
three respond directly to the governor.
These are
Elia Fernández, Agustin Fernández and Galdys Medina,
who are speculated to accompany the ruling party's proposal.
Even Agustín Fernández, who is a member of the Budget Commission, signed the majority opinion of La Libertad Avanza, along with a sector of the dialogue blocks that accompanied, although in dissent.
The news is not surprising if one takes into account that Jaldo had been negotiating with the Government to repeal article 59 of the bill, so that the validity of Law 25,715 on Sugar is maintained, which protects that sector and so that lemon and its derivatives do not pay export duties.
Jaldo justified his difference with the rest of the UxP bloc and recalled that with the elimination of the fourth category of the Income Tax
the province lost about $100,000 million.
Before traveling to Buenos Aires, the governor declared to the local press that "when the country is in danger, partisan and personal differences must be put aside."
"I took them out. That's why I'm going to defend the interests of the province,
no matter what it costs us; our deputies are going to vote for our regional economies," he anticipated.
For his part, Pablo Yedlin, also a deputy for Tucumán, warned that there is a "very complex" situation and explained that his colleagues on the bench somehow
responded to "the request they received from the governor of the province."
"We must understand the pressures to which the governors were subjected in these times," added the former senator.
