After the Omnibus Law fell, PRO deputy
Gerardo Milman
presented two projects to promote a popular consultation on
Javier Milei
's mega project .
However
, he did it on his own
, without endorsement from his block or from La Libertad Avanza.
These are
two projects
.
The first is in law format, so that Congress approves the call for a popular consultation.
The referendums requested by Parliament are
mandatory and binding.
"Let the citizens express themselves even though they already did so in November of last year. Let us trust and allow the citizens to express themselves, this way we will take the pulse of the citizen will and see if we legislators are up to
the
task or not.
circumstances that the emergency demands," says Milman, former partner of Patricia Bullrich, in the foundation of his project.
For it to be finalized, the text must be discussed in both Chambers and obtain an
absolute majority
- half plus one - of the votes: that is, 129 affirmative votes in the Deputies and 37 in the Senate.
Difficult considering that Milman presented it on his own, without even the endorsement of the PRO block that ignores it.
"
The PRO does not adhere, it does not share it.
It is a purely personal presentation," they reported from that bench.
In fact, they say that in the block meeting they had minutes after the session adjourned, this issue was discussed and the majority had agreed that it was not an option to follow.
Even because the cost generated by such a massive election goes against the course of zero fiscal deficit proposed by the Government.
The other is a draft declaration that requests President Javier Milei to call a popular consultation.
In that case, as would be
requested by the Executive, it cannot be binding.
That is, it is not obligatory to abide by the verdict of the people.
"The current government wins the elections by more than 14 million votes but has its own parliamentary strength of 10% of the national senators; and 15% of the national deputies. The contrast between the ideas supported by the Argentine people with the legislative capacity to issue norms in accordance with the popular will," Milman considers in a message addressed to the President.
But despite the public speeches, Milei's inner circle is also not convinced to call a plebiscite due to the risk that a defeat would entail, the time and the cost.
“All constitutional tools are being evaluated.
The decision will be made whether to go down the right path or one that takes greater speed,” Adorni said on Wednesday.
