The debate on the enclosure focused on disassemble Javier Milei’s speech that defends the adjustment with the premise of the “fiscal balance”.
Christian Castillo del Front of the Left He launched them “They don’t lie anymore! They are not worried about fiscal balance when personal property falls in favor of the richest, when they pay the IMF, they lower the withholdings to the field. They only remember the fiscal balance when you have to give money to retirees, disability, to the claw, or the universities.”
From Federal Meeting, Nicolás Massot He put on the table the silver mountain that the Milei government destined to intervene over the dollar. He questioned the ruling party “Do you know how many claws the boys are skipping that later celebrate in Fantino?”, In reference to the officials of the Ministry of Economy led by Luis Caputo.
Bertie Benegas de Lynch de la Libertad advances He proved several of those questions. He acknowledged that Milei’s goal is to “return power to the private sector that is the only one that generates wealth.” Exactly what Deputy Castillo marked about Minister Lugones when he said “since Lugones is Minister of Health, a private entrepreneur, he is pointing in the direction of favoring the resignation of the personnel trained to direct the private sector.” Esteban Paulón Federal meeting gave a blunt fact in this regard: “more professionals were in these 6 months than in 9 years” for hunger salaries.
Pablo Yedlin Union for the country warned that “the continuity of the Garrahan hospital is at risk and that puts the health of children in Argentina at risk. 355,000 children from the provinces, not from CABA, came in 2024 to this hospital. There is no other place to take care of them. There is no going back if this goes wrong.”
He approved text This Wednesday declares the emergency in pediatrics for one year. It means that the Government will be obliged to the priority and immediate allocation of budgetary resources and the immediate recomposition of the salaries of healthcare and non -care health personnel, including national residents. It also contains an article to repeal the resolution by which the health minister Mario Lugones changed the residences regime, degrading it to remove rights and are not recognized as professionals. The Left Front bench accompanied with its positive vote, while making its differences: its proposal included that there are concrete budget and salary increase numbers to prevent it from being at the discretion of the Executive Power.
Each step that Congress takes so that public resources go to workers, retirees, education or public health is shooting the presidential veto. The experience of these almost two years showed that, in the portage of the parliamentary thread, the government runs with advantage for negotiation. The rejection of Milei’s vetoes raised a new challenge to the street and the unions.
