The
Radical Civic Union (UCR)
requested this Monday through
a letter
to the president of the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation,
Martín Menem
, to appoint
"urgently and without further delay
" the members of the bicameral commission of Necessity Decrees and Urgency, in an advance to deal with the DNU of President Javier Milei.
“If
the previous government took advantage
of its majority to block the operation of the Commission for two years,
today we are witnessing a new institutional degradation
in which
this government does not even constitute it
,” the radical legislators argued in the text.
Furthermore, the radicals warned that
"if the dilatory attitude persists"
they will act with
"all the legal tools"
they have at their disposal to comply with the mandate of the Constitution.
For the legislative treatment of Milei's DNU on economic deregulation issued last December, the bicameral commission that has not yet been defined must be confirmed.
In accordance with Law 26,122,
the bicameral commission is made up of eight deputies and eight senators
, appointed by the president of their respective Chambers at the proposal of the parliamentary blocs, respecting the proportion of political representations.
The UCR note was signed by the president of the National Committee,
Martín Lousteau;
the head of the Block of National Deputies,
Rodrigo De Loredo
;
the vice president of the Block of Deputies,
Karina Banfi
;
the president of the Senators Block,
Eduardo Vischi
;
the vice president of the Senators Block,
Pablo Blanco
;
the first vice president of the Committee,
Inés Brizuela y Doria
, and the second vice president,
Luis Naidenoff
.
The radicals demand that Martín Menem appoint the bicameral.
This request to Martín Menem is made a few days after the Government frustrated the vote on the Omnibus Law in the National Congress due to the refusal of deputies to approve key sections in the document for the deregulation of the State.
Radicalism, against "uncontrolled power" by Javier Milei
The radicals affirm that if the bicameral system is not formed,
the President will be granted "uncontrolled power
that is absolutely
incompatible with the republican
government regime provided for in the Constitution."
"The omission to establish the commission that exercises parliamentary control over this action
has already lasted for more than two months
, unconstitutionally depriving this body of the tools that the Constitution grants it to control that the fate of Argentines is not tied to the designs of the citizen who temporarily holds the position of President of the Nation," the UCR representatives continued in the document.
They also assure that "the decision not to appoint the representatives of the Chamber of Deputies
constitutes an unconstitutional omission
that threatens the division of powers and the republican government regime."
The UCR has come to cross President Milei for his
scrache against the deputies
who voted in particular against articles of the Omnibus Law.
Specifically, Milei, after the vote was frustrated, called the opponents
criminals
and reproduced on their networks a post with photos of legislators under the label of "
traitors and extortioners
of the Argentine people."
"
The incitement to violence
against those who think differently must end," radicalism demanded through a public statement in which they targeted the President for leading a "generalized incitement to violence against those who think differently."
The UCR stated that Milei "took charge of an
operation loaded with disqualifications
and grievances against the deputies who did not support some articles of the vote in particular in the treatment of the Omnibus Law."
