If Sergio Massa succeeds in relaunching the Congress, he will be able to advance one more box in his draft demonstrate that it is able to guarantee a certain control over legislative life. And at best, support the goal of being a presidential candidate, win or lose.
He comes from an important slap because his own bench approved, at the worst moment, the moratorium project for pensioners. Massa spread the news on the market that will try to work on the regulation of this law to delay its implementation and reduce its impact on public finances.
It must respond to the call for “prompt and determined measures to sustainably address the fiscal costs of the unexpected passage of the pension moratorium to secure fiscal targets for this year and next” (IMF statement).
It came from the Senate at the initiative of the extreme Christianity of Anabel Fernández Sagasti and Mariano Recalde. Massa asked Deputies that the approval be frozen to facilitate the latest renegotiation with the IMF. However, they approved it with the help of the Federal Compromise bench – line brighter, blackboard artist – which gave the quorum and votes for approval.
Maxi Kirchner, in Avellaneda’s speech, accused Alberto Fernández of delaying the promulgation of the law. The vice president’s scion – who preserves youth with the clothing of Chavo del Ocho – Summer denim shorts, only the suspenders are missing – embraced Massa, for whom this law is expensive and inappropriate in this moment of economic crisis.
Lest there be any doubts, a bulletin from “La Cámpora” doubled the pressure until the issue of the promulgation last Monday. The haste in this moratorium is attributed to electoral ends. Most of the 800,000 beneficiaries of this register live in the province of Buenos Aires and can be used as a patronage tool.
Attempt revenge on Congress
The government is using the economic agenda to test the revival of Congress, which is in a coma induced by dissent between the ruling party and the opposition.
The test flask is the bill for the reform of the money laundering control and repression regime. This project tightens penalties and expands the collection of information that commercial intermediaries have to provide. A plenary of committees gave it a boost last November.
The government included him in that cloud of illusions which was the list of projects for extraordinary sessions that existed only to blow up Massa’s pension fund. He doesn’t have an opinion, but the ruling party has already agreed to changes so he can come out of them without problems. There were disagreements over the opposition’s demand that the chairman of the body that monitors money laundering, the FIU, be appointed with the agreement of Congress.
A brake on the jubilee of spies
This Congress is unable to negotiate any agreement. That’s why there is no Attorney of the Nation, no Ombudsman or whatever. There have been complaints of lawyers who do not want to be reporting for transactions, such as accountants and notaries.
The ruling party has agreed to a clause protecting the confidentiality of financial information. Article 17 bis of the bill provides that “information originating from a similar foreign entity may be used only for the purposes or purposes for which it was provided. The FIU will not pass on information received from similar foreign bodies to third parties.
This clause seeks to prevent a repeat of the campaign that the ruling party unleashed in 2009 against Francisco de Narváez by making public the information that FINCEN (the United States’ FIU) had passed to Argentina on the businessman , candidate that year.
Following that event, the Washington government suspended the delivery of information to Argentina on the grounds that it could be used for party intent. The government has opened the Political Judgment Commission against the Court. The prosecutor seems to work online with espionage services, broadcast chats, report anecdotes about birthdays, friendships and clothing that only espionage can access. That project article puts a damper on politicians’ Creole fascination with poking their noses into other people’s lives.
Dilemma: having power without charge
Mauricio Macri sharpened the pencil a restore the format of the coalition Let’s change. The gestures continue to be those of those who do not want to leave, but are looking for the best place to continue to have the greatest influence with the least wear and tear.
The illusion of taking power without taking the government, as John Holloway proposes – from ideological antipodes – in the book “Changing the world without taking power”. Maybe from the opulent FIFA?
Macri’s return will reveal the crisis that could break the Coalition Together for Change. THE PRO’s alliance with CABA’s UCR is the glue that holds them together nationwide. Explains the tandem photos of Gerardo Morales with Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, who co-governs the city with the UCR with a promise of electoral loyalty for October: PRO and UCR will go to a STEP for the candidacy for head of government in which they would confront Martín Lousteau and a chosen PRO candidate until defeat. This would mean that the PRO would hand over the government of the only district in which it governs, the axis of the national party and Macri’s sanctuary of power.
But Neither the PRO nor Macri want to hand over the city government. They dedicated themselves to building pre-candidates to face Lousteau face to face with no desire to lose. Macri engraved Enrique Nosiglia’s judgment on his party on his forehead: the day we handed over the candidacy for head of government to Aníbal Ibarra, we lost the district and radicalism entered a twenty-year crisis.
a Darwinian struggle
The struggle between PRO and UCR in CABA is a Darwinian struggle where the survival of the species is at stake. AND a life-and-death struggle that will eventually moderate the electorate, who want them together. “The Covenant is in the people” Graciela Fernández Meijide taught at the time.
It is compounded because there is neither unified leadership nor direction to develop goals, vision and strategy on the natural differences of districts and candidates. Conversely, poll optimism fuels self-employment. The arrival of Macri, head of the PRO, will clarify many of these unknowns. One is whether he will go for a new presidential term or agree with Larreta, who feels like a co-founder of PRO and a natural successor.
larretta He is convinced that the candidacy of the coalition in partnership with the radicals will win, like Morales and Lousteau; that he will win the election and that when he is in power he will be able to repay all the sacrifices they have made along the way. Telling the milkmaid of the fable, they respond from the extreme macrism – Abrojos or Muerte line – that they don’t understand where the deal is that a team that has governed the city with efficiency and electoral success for 16 years, hands it over to a rookie like Lousteau, who has not held managerial positions, except for the Christian civil service that everyone knows how it ended.
Cristina, who has never looked down on him, chuckles at him in public when she’s in a good mood in Senate sessions: “That almost put the government under my hat,” she laughs, which is unusual for her.
Preparations for a future that has already arrived
This Monday Macri will reappear in a presentation of the book “For what” at the Fundación Libertad de Rosario. Comes from a long journey that served to put definitions on hold. They were waiting for him on Friday in Chile at the launch table of the Libertad y Democracia group. He couldn’t arrive with air connections, but he participated with zoom. He took the opportunity to take refuge for the weekend with his family.
This group will be a continental organization of conservative presidents and former presidents with an Ibero-American flavor, to lobby public opinion against the third party of the Puebla group. Politicians they really believe in the fantasy of the pendulum, as there is a mysterious physics that moves societies from right to left, at the same time, on the contrary, Saúl Ubaldini would say. Today there is a third party continental axis with Lula, López Obrador, Fernández, Evo, Boric, which could run out very soon. They want to be ready to step out of the channel when the pendulum strikes.
memories of the future
The Libertad y Democracia Group collects the impulse that Sebastián Piñera and the Colombian Iván Duque felt in 2019, together with Macri, Jair Bolsonaro and others with the ProSur seal, a club of countries with conservative administrations that wanted to become UNASUR against wheat .
They fit the old advice of a Jorge Asís character: “Turn on, there are trips.” There are politicians who caress their passport and experience a swelling of the spongy tissue. He has reconvened Piñera as a milestone in his launch for a third presidential term in 2026.
Among the first, the example of Lula spread in Brazil, recovered from defeat and prison. In politics there is a law written in stone: whoever was, always wants to be again. An inspiration for the decision that the Macri and Cristinas have to make. Personalities such as Duque, Mariano Rajoy, José María Aznar, Andrés Pastrana, Guillermo Lasso, Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga among others participate in that championship.
They animated a fine print interview: “Quo Vadis: Freedom and Democracy in Latin America”. they promise warm pronouncements to navigate the stormy sea of international politics. They know the Argentine government is negotiating their reinstatement at UNASUR, the tertiary league from which Macri withdrew Argentina in April 2019.
He accused her of pursuing an agenda of “high ideological content”. Some partners vetoed the appointment of José Bordón as secretary of that seal. That questionable decision was in solidarity with another precedent, also questionable, which was to freeze Argentina’s participation in Parlasur, canceling the payment of salaries to Argentina’s representatives and suspending elections which the government will now surely reinstate. Peronism entrenched itself in Parlasur in 2015 to oppose the Macri government. Now that he believes he will lose the elections, he tries to lock down the trenches of the resistance.
