After questions from the opposition and the CGT, Martín Menem ratified his intention to accelerate the treatment of the omnibus law in Deputies. “If it has to be Saturday, it will be Saturday”the president of the lower house defined, bluntly, on one of the points of contention in the debate in Congress.
“I think that we are on trackI will do everything possible so that the opinion is signed this week,” said the former candidate for governor of La Rioja, who evaluated what the debate is leaving in the plenary session of the Deputies’ commissions, which this Wednesday brought together representatives of culture, retirees and the fight against climate change, in addition to legislators.
“If it has to be Saturday, it will be Saturday. My idea was to go to the venue this Saturday, It seems difficult, but not impossible. It seemed difficult to put together the commissions, we put them together, we had more than 40 hours of commissions, company participation and everyone contributed their part to enrich the project,” Menem took courage, in dialogue with TN.
One of the entities that most resists a meeting on Saturday is the CGT, which is preparing the general strike and mobilization for January 24. From the top they spoke of “obscurantism” due to meetings in a downtown hotel between legislators and representatives of the ruling party and issued a warning for the change of date.
Meanwhile, Menem once again stressed the urgency to pass the omnibus law as soon as possible. “Argentina is experiencing one of the most important crises of the last 100 years, a phenomenal decline. If we continue to insist with the same recipes we are going to end up with the same results. It is not easy, we must try to have the necessary consensus. We are still improving plus the project we already had. When you take alternatives that other political spaces give you, you do good for Argentina,” he noted.
Martín Menem, with Javier Milei, in the campaign. He now defends his omnibus bill.
“It is the desire of more than 70 percent of Argentines that this can be resolved as soon as possible,” Menem added.
He summarized his request to speed up treatment, almost with a campaign tone. “We are thinking about Argentina, not about La Libertad Avanza. “Argentina not only doesn’t have money, but it doesn’t have time,” remarked the president of Deputies.
Menem came to the crossroads of criticism: from the CGT strike to the claim for retirees
Furthermore, Martín Menem described as “unnecessary” the strike that the CGT will carry out and which will also consist of a mobilization to Congress. He also came to the crossroads of a specific question launched by sectors of radicalism and the Civic Coalition, which ask for protection for retirees.
“There will be more work, people’s entry to work is ironed out as a result of excess regulations and tax burdens. We believe that has to change,” Menem stressed about the possible impact of the omnibus law and the mega DNU of economic deregulation.
Immediately afterwards, he looked directly at the workers’ union: “I bet on a modernization of unionism. The strike is unnecessary, Argentina needs businessmen, workers and everyone working every day. Strikes harm the workers.”
Finally, he answered the question about retirees.
“We are working on a scheme that will surpass Alberto Fernández’s scheme. We want to stop the fall in their purchasing power, we want to destroy the previous formula to have another that benefits them,” said Menem.
