Highlights: Miguel Ángel Pichetto, deputy of Hacemos Coalión Federal, criticized Kirchnerism for not voting on the delegation of powers to the President. “There is a lack of understanding of what was done before,” he insisted, for the emergencies voted to K governments and, especially, to Alberto Fernández. The former president "was expanded in his powers with the health emergency, an issue that must not be forgotten where anyone was made," he said.


The deputy maintained that the UxP bloc “should have had a slightly more flexible attitude and recognize what they did before,” given their position on the Omnibus Law. “There is a lack of understanding of what was done before,” he insisted, for the emergencies voted to K governments and, especially, to Alberto Fernández.


The deputy of Hacemos Coalión Federal,

Miguel Ángel Pichetto

, pointed out

against Kirchnerism

, within the framework of the debate on the Omnibus Law project in Congress for

“denying the past”

due to the criticism of the K block to the delegation of powers to Javier Milei and the declaration of the emergency in different areas.

In dialogue with

Radio Millenium

, he recalled that

Alberto Fernández

was given these tools “

ten times more

than what we are giving to this government.”

The historic leader of Peronism, who knew how to be Cristina Kirchner's strong sword in the Senate and then jumped into the ranks of the PRO, considered that "Kirchnerism and Peronism

should have given the emergency

and the powers (delegated) to Milei" .

“The economic crisis and inflation hit very hard and

the President needs quick,

exceptional tools, which

are not as exceptional as those that Alberto

(Fernández) had,” he added while underlining the double standard that, he understands, Kirchnerism applies.

He recalled, in that sense, that the former president "was expanded in his powers with the health emergency, an issue that must not be forgotten where

anyone was made

, bought, sold, everything is a direct purchase."

Regarding the mega session in the Lower House that took place last week, and that will continue this Tuesday with the debate in particular of the Omnibus Law, he criticized the

“dogmatic rigidity in the speeches”

of legislators K.

“There is a lack of understanding

of what was done before,

he emphasized.

Along these lines, he pointed out that "many of those who speak, especially of Peronism, Kirchnerism,

took this as an encroachment

on democracy." He recalled that a representative spoke of article 29 of the National Constitution, which refers to the delegation of powers , and expressed that it would imply

“a violation and betrayal of the country”

if approved for Milei.

“An excess,”

Pichetto concluded about the K speeches at the venue and said that “when one goes back to 2019 and sees the economic emergency and

the delegations that Alberto Fernández had, it is impressive,

from an entity

ten times greater

than what was expected. we are giving to this Government.”

For the historic leader, the K deputies “should have had

a slightly more flexible attitude

, without prejudice to voting no,

and recognizing what they did before.”

“You can't deny the past, the past exists,” he insisted.

"If you don't analyze what you voted four years ago, that you gave an emergency and a delegation of powers to the former president that was extraordinary... He

even installed taxes by decree

," Pichetto reproached the Unión por la Patria bench.

And he continued: “

He eliminated the pension formula by decree

and retirees lost 40% of their salaries.

Today's pension salary crisis has to do with the Fernández formula because they did not incorporate the inflation item.

Pichetto maintained that in this initial stage of Milei's government

"we must collaborate, help,

try to get Argentina to reestablish dialogue."

In turn, he expressed himself in favor of “the Government being able to

build a positive path with the governors

, a fiscal agreement that gives predictability to the provinces.”

Argentina needs changes

, a modern, intelligent capitalist vision, but

it also needs peace

, dialogue, construction.

The Government needs to build a more stable majority, not only for this law,” he added.

However, he clarified that there are issues contemplated in the Omnibus Law that should be discussed, "such as the privatization model."

"I believe that there are strategic companies for the country

such as nuclear, satellite,

which is Argentine accumulated scientific knowledge, I believe that

Banco Nación is a tool of the state

that has to be efficient, it could even be a public limited company that is listed on the stock market. ", he exemplified.

Pichetto denied the rumors that placed him with a position in Milei's cabinet

On the other hand, the historic Peronist leader denied rumors about his

possible landing

with a position in

Javier Mile

i's cabinet.

“I have been elected as a national deputy, I am fulfilling the role, we have

put together a bloc with people with talent

, capacity, autonomy, we try to combine visions,” he said about We Make the Federal Coalition, a split from Together for Change.

At the same time,

not without some mischief

due to the few troops of his own that Milei has in the Deputies, he highlighted the work carried out in recent weeks together with the PRO and the UCR to “give the Government and

La Libertad Avanza, which is a small space

in the Chamber of Deputies, the number so that he would have the tools to govern.”

He considered in that sense that it would have been

“very negative if the law did not pass

. ”

“We are going to make an effort so that the main structure of the law that the Government has submitted in the particular debate also has a favorable response,” Pichetto concluded.
