by Fall of the Omnibus Law, the PRO deputy Gerardo Milman presented two projects to promote a popular consultation on the mega project of Javier Milei. Howeverhe did it on his ownwithout endorsement from his block or that of La Libertad Avanza.
Is about two projects. The first is in law format, so that Congress approves the call for a popular consultation. The referendums requested by Parliament are obligatory and binding.
“Let the citizens express themselves even though they already did so in November of last year. Let us trust and allow the citizens to express themselves, This way we will take the pulse of the citizen will and see if we legislators are up to the task or not. of the circumstances that the emergency demands,” says Milman, former partner of Patricia Bullrich, in the foundation of his project.
For it to be finalized, the text has to be discussed in both Chambers and obtain the approval absolute majority -half plus one- of the votes: that is, 129 affirmative in the Deputies and 37 in the Senate.
Difficult considering that Milman presented it on his own, without even the endorsement of the PRO block that ignores it. “The PRO does not adhere, it does not share it. “It is a purely personal presentation,” information from that bench.
In fact, they say that in the block meeting they had minutes after the session adjourned, this topic was discussed and the horrible one had agreed that it was not an option to follow. Even because the cost generated by such a massive election goes against the course of zero fiscal deficit proposed by the Government.
The other is a draft declaration that requests President Javier Milei to call a popular consultation. In that case, how would it be requested by the Executive cannot be binding. That is, it is not obligatory to abide by the verdict of the people.
“The current government wins the elections by more than 14 million votes but has its own parliamentary force of 10% of the national senators; and 15% of the national deputies. The contrast is evident between the ideas that supported the Argentine people with the legislative capacity to issue norms in accordance with the popular will,” Milman considers in a message addressed to the President.
But despite the public speeches, Milei’s inner circle is not convinced to call a plebiscite either due to the risk that a defeat would entail, the time and the cost.
“All constitutional tools are being evaluated. The decision will be made whether to go down the right path or one that takes greater speed,” Adorni said on Wednesday.
