In sectors of the moderate opposition
they predicted
that if negotiations with the Government are underway between this Monday and this Tuesday,
the approval in particular
of Javier Milei's reform law
would be assured and quite quickly.
What's more: it was said that in the session called for this Tuesday at 2 p.m. to move forward with the treatment of the
fine print
of the initiative, there was
consensus
between the ruling party and the dialogue opposition blocks that the vote would be done by chapters. and not by articles.
“Kirchnerism and the Left are going to object with a regulatory issue, but this way we can move forward faster,” they explained in La Libertad Avanza.
But on Sunday night, unexpectedly, from the top of the ruling party they showed
great caution
.
“On Tuesday we will start the treatment.
It's going to be long
.
It can easily be extended to Wednesday and Thursday as well,”
a key actor in the ruling party told
Clarín .
As it turned out, the plan would be to start this Tuesday's session at 2 p.m. and go to another four intermission at midnight.
And on Wednesday do something similar.
If necessary, they would continue another day.
The general discussion already consumed another three days.

The extension in the treatment period would be due to
discussions in articles of the Omnibus Law that remain open
and are still being negotiated between the Executive Branch, deputies from opposition blocs and provincial governors.
From a review made by this newspaper, it appears that at least 7 axes remain open:
# Privatizations of public companies.
The We Make Federal Coalition bloc, chaired by Miguel Pichetto, made a proposal to the ruling party.
It contemplates giving play to the bicameral privatization committee, which can control but not block, except in the event of a scandal, the process of selling a public company.
Three lists circulate with the companies to be privatized, according to different categories and relevance.
“The idea is not to privatize in the style of the 90s. In addition, there are companies that are not going to be sold no matter how much you put a bright sign on them.
We will have to think about schemes so that provinces with a surplus and even the workers of the companies themselves can participate in the privatization processes,” said an opposition legislator who is in favor of selling many public firms but not those that he considers strategic.
# The delegation of legislative powers
to the Executive Branch and the declaration of emergencies.
Sectors of the UCR and the Civic Coalition raise great objections.
#
Modification in the Glacier Law
to enable economic activities in the periglacial zone.
# Changes in the area of Culture.
# Extension of jurisdiction
to New York courts for dispute cases.
# The chapter of modifications to the Penal Code.
# That in the article referring to the ANSeS
Sustainability Guarantee Fund, a mechanism is established that guarantees funds to the provincial pension funds.
If they cannot advance on this path, the opposition blocs and governors could seek co-participation of the PAIS Tax.
Confidence of the ruling party
“We are going to pass the law, I think we are very close to having the opportunity to give the Government the tool to start a program of structural changes in some things.
We did not give in, we have agreed on a lot of points,” Oscar Zago
, head of the Libertad Avanza block of the lower house,
told Clarín.
And he completed: “For many years all governments have been given delegations of powers to the President, it cannot be that they are not given here.”

In the bloc chaired by
Miguel Ángel Pichetto,
they maintain that “from a symbolic point of view, the Government will take an important victory” from Deputies.
They understand that if an agreement is only closed in the Lower House, it will finally be replicated in the Senate, so the initiative would not encounter major obstacles to its sanction.
