“A judge can declare that some point is worthless, but not the entire decree”

The brand new Treasury Attorney and former Supreme Court judge, Rodolfo Barra admitted this Tuesday that Justice may cancel out some of the points of the mega DNU that the president signed Javier MillaAnd now the bicameral commission of Congress will discuss.

“We think that the challenges will not succeed in the courts. For now, what we know is that they are contesting the necessity and urgency, that there is no emergency situation here replacing the normal activity of Congress. I think there is, we are suffering from it,” Barra highlighted this Tuesday, in defense of the decree of necessity and urgency with economic deregulation measures.

“We are seeking to eliminate all issues that have a cost impact on the global economy of society,” added the Treasury Attorney in dialogue with the “Things Happened” program on Radio With You.

Barra began to be consulted about some of the points of the decree, such as the fines for obstacles that do not pay charges: “The fine is in favor of the State and not for the employee. It generates costs in the engineering of those who have prepared this, who have taken the economy as a closed system that feeds itself and we discover unnecessary costs that make economic activity more expensive.”

When asked about the need and urgency of the SAD, he said: “A judge can declare that this has no value, that point but not the entire decree“Thus, he admitted for the first time that Justice would block part of the decree.

“The philosophy of the decree is that each of these points is accumulating unnecessary costs, especially in regulatory matters. Interests will begin to influence the entire decree, the collateral State has kept the powerful,” Barra argued.

And he described the State as “prisoner” of high-wealth sectors.

“The State is trapped in the hands of economic sectors, it is a State prisoner of sectors of economic interest. that they are not the poor but they are the rich. The rich increasingly impoverish the poor in a closed economy, which increases costs and causes inflation and has led us to a terminal disaster with inflation that this month may reach 30%, with poverty that is close to 50% . of the population and indigence that is at 10%,” Barra reviewed.

On the other hand, regarding the criticism that the DNU evades the parliamentary discussionBarra stated that, in reality, the situation is the opposite.

“You don’t skip Congress, forces him to intervene. Under normal conditions, Congress could deal with this in five years, and under these conditions Congress is forced to deal with it now,” said the former Supreme Court judge.

“The explanation that the President has given is very clear about the situation in the country, especially for lower-income people, who are below the poverty line,” Barra highlighted.

He evaluated the state of the situation with a rhetorical question: “If this does not justify necessity and urgency, what does?”

“Trying to justify that we are in an emergency situation is something that seems banal, I can’t believe we are discussing this. We are discussing the sex of angels when people are starving.. “They have left us a monstrous legacy,” said Barra.

“The decree can be repealed. If we do not agree, Congress can repeal it. They know that we are discussing a Byzantine issue, what happens is that they want to get dirty,” he said in the interview with Tennessee.
