“Our first commitment of the deputies of Fuerza Patria is to fight to repeal DNU 70,” were the words of the candidate for deputy Itaí Hagman during his speech at the closing ceremony of Fuerza Patria’s campaign in CABA
Published on December 20, DNU 70/2023, better known as megadnu, It represented a strong attack on working people and was a clear attempt by Milei to concentrate more power through more than 300 articles and almost 100 modifications to various standards. was declared unconstitutional by the majority of constitutionalists and the left denounced from the beginning, along with its reactionary character, that 70/2023 had no “need” or “urgency.”
El mega DNU It was rejected in the Senate in March 2024 and sent to the Chamber of Deputies. But despite the proposals and insistences of the left, was never treated in order to be rejected and finally repealed.
The role of Peronism was key so that Milei’s mega DNU was not discussed in the Chamber of Deputies and remained in force to this day. Although many Peronist leaders publicly criticized the DNU, in fact their actions in Congress allowed the decree not to be rejected. This decision was essential for the Government to continue counting on this battery of regulations and modifications to continue advancing in its wild delivery and adjustment plan.
Several parliamentary agreements between the ruling party, Unión por la Patria, Federal Meeting and the Civic Coalition, among other blocks revolved around giving give way to other issues and leave the mega DNU out of the debate Only the left of Myriam Bregman, Nicolás del Caño and Christian Castillo insisted from the beginning on trying to reject it.
That is to say that despite having the first minority, with a block of 98 deputies and with the parliamentary capacity to form a quorum and majorities, As was seen during other votes where the Government was heavily defeated, Unión por la Patria did not “commit” to treating it to repeal it, as proposed after almost two years of validitythe candidate of that force for CABA, Itaí Hagman.
El DNU 70/2023 Since its validity, it implied a direct attack on the won rights of workers, retirees, students and popular sectors. He granted super powers to the police forces, ordered the emptying of state agencies and the delivery of resources to foreign capital. DNU 70 reinforced the repression and criminalization of social protest; limited the right to strike and union organization. This last chapter is suspended by labor justice. Through deregulations, it had a direct impact on the increase in the prices of medications, prepaid bills and rents, among others.
During all this time, Peronism let the DNU do its job, degrading the living conditions of the majority. Now he remembers and promises to “fight to repeal the DNU” in Congress? A “delay” that has been costing millions. Some misguided person could also interpret that his message is “vote for me if you want me to go against the mega DNU.”
It is worth noting that this action by Deputies to not overturn the DNU It had its correlation in the streets and workplaces. Peronism, with its important mobilization power, did not propose or organize any serious measures to confront the mega DNU or the Milei plan as a whole. Beyond some general strikes carried out, the Peronist centrals and unions never called for a true plan to fight against the mega DNU, the Bases Law, and the Milei adjustment plan as a whole. On the contrary, he let it happen, betting once again on the electoral process and letting it happen.
