The omnibus law that
Javier Milei
presented with more than 600 articles finally reaches the Chamber of Deputies - if there are no new changes in plans - this Wednesday
after a month of negotiation and with 300 fewer articles
.
The dialogue blocks promised to provide a quorum and approve it in general, but
tension continues over specific articles
that could fall in the vote in particular, such as privatization.
The session is scheduled for 10 a.m. and
is expected to last at least 35 hours
.
The ruling party proposed that there be a fourth intermission after the general vote
.
This was announced at the parliamentary work meeting chaired by
Martín Menem,
late this Tuesday night, with all the block heads.
However,
it will depend on what time that vote ends up taking place.
"It's for the deputies to go to sleep and come back in the morning. But if the general vote ends at 6, it doesn't make sense for them to leave and come back in three hours," said a legislator who participated in the meeting. of parliamentary work.

For now, it is known that there will be 22 privilege issues, which can consume more than an hour and a half of the session.
To avoid a meaningless discussion, before the debate on the law begins, the reporting member of La Libertad Avanza, Gabriel Bornoroni,
will announce all the articles that were suppressed,
among them, all those in the fiscal chapter, the change in the retirement formula and withholdings.
While before the vote they will announce all the modifications that were introduced to the articles.
If there is perfect attendance
, with the Libertad Avanza bench and the Carolina Píparo bloc (39), the PRO plus allies (39), the UCR (34), the bulk of the We Make Federal Coalition and Federal Innovation bloc (30) , the two from San Juan and the three from Tucumán who respond to Governor
Osvaldo Jaldo
,
the ruling party would comfortably exceed 140 votes.
The Frente de Todos (99), the Left (5) - which will mobilize Congress in rejection - the 2 Santa Cruz residents and the 2 Santa Fe socialists will vote against.
However, the vote in particular opens another story and
there are key articles that may end up falling.
There are still
open discussions on sensitive topics, such as the privatization article
.
Although the ruling party agreed to remove YPF from the list of 41 companies and that other companies, such as Arsat, Nucleoeléctrica and Banco Nación, should not be 100% privatized but rather could become mixed companies, there is still no agreement on the mechanism to approve privatizations for that
has the approval of Congress.
As it is,
this article is on the way to rejection if there are no modifications
, because the three groups are opposed, and even other allies close to LLA as well.
Other points of contention
It is not the only one, there
are still tensions over the article on external debt, fishing, environment, security and cold zones
, among others.
In the run-up to the session, the main groups expressed what their position will be regarding the vote.
The advanced and public positioning also responded to the threats of La Libertad Avanza.
As a result of the latest talks with delegates of the Executive, the dialogue groups do not rule out that the Government itself
will bring down the session if they do not agree on particular articles and want to blame them for that.
"Everything is ok here, but we don't know what order may come later from the Executive," said a legislator who participated in the negotiations at the close of this edition.
The head of the UCR bench
Rodrigo De Loredo
announced that the UCR - which had been divided when signing the opinion - will go together.
"From all radicalism we will provide a quorum to enable the parliamentary debate on the omnibus law tomorrow and we will generally support the Law. We understand the responsibility of the time and the emergencies of the country," he assured.
The same thing we do: "We are going to provide a quorum and support in general, but we will raise dissent in several articles."
