The Government came out to cross the failed attempt by opposition deputies to discuss an "unconsultated" retirement reform project in Congress and the advance against the DNU in the Senate.
Javier Milei, through the Office of the President, stressed that both actions violate "the spirit of agreement" of the
May Pact
to which he convened governors, former presidents and leaders of political parties.
"They intend to advance with their own agenda without consultation, in order to hinder negotiations and dialogue between the different sectors of the political leadership," says the statement posted by the Office of the President.
The complete statement from the Government
Prior to the joint signing of the May Pact, convened by the Executive Branch with the objective of reconstituting the foundations of the Argentine Republic, the Office of the President expresses its concern about the unilateral decision of some sectors of the political class that intend to advance with its own agenda and without consultation, in order to hinder negotiations and dialogue between the different sectors of the political leadership.
Both the hasty treatment of DNU 70/23 and the initiative to promote a retirement formula without consensus violate the spirit of agreement promoted by the President in his call for the May Pact.
The potential rejection of the DNU, which is currently close to a definition by the Supreme Court of Justice, would entail a serious setback in the rights and needs of the Argentine people, implying, for example, the return of the Rental Law, the return to rigid system of union social works, the maintenance of the corrupt model of Automotive Registries, and the cancellation of the open skies policy, among others.

The National Government hopes that the Legislative Branch does not allow itself to be captivated by the siren song of those who intend to "score" short-term victories to the detriment of the future of the 45 million Argentines.
Finally, the President of the Nation thanks those legislators who, committed to the interests of the Homeland and the path of change, do not lend themselves to the perverse game of those who have deliberately decided to hinder the development of the Nation.
Regardless of any legislative result, the Executive Branch reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the 0% deficit, leaving behind the failed recipes of the political caste and moving decisively towards the path of prosperity and greatness of the Argentine Nation.
