Just over a week away Preparatory sessionIn which the new representatives will take the oath and the powers will be renewed and begin to be determined Disagreement over the formation of committeesThe ruling party seeks to continue growing to consolidate its position The first minority of Chamber and Peronism contains possible leaks to retain this condition. The distance between the Advanced Freedom and Union for the Fatherland blocs has shrunk to a level that was unimaginable in the run-up to the October elections.
Martin Menem, the Speaker of Parliament, called the preparatory session on Wednesday, December 3. After the inauguration of 127 elected legislators, the Rioja native will be re-elected to office. The government’s victory weakened the movements aimed at forcibly displacing them. The discussion will take place during the committee meeting, which is the main area where projects are discussed as a pre-location step.
In its first two years, with unprecedented parliamentary weakness, Javier Miley’s ruling party He took advantage of chairing the most relevant committees to linger as long as possible – Developing projects that the government resists. With José Luis Espert at the helm of the budget and Nicolas Mayoraz in constitutional affairs, the opposition blocs were forced to request sessions to summon the work of these committees, which led to a slowdown in processing.
However, the Union for the Fatherland, the Federal Alliance, the Democracy for Stability, and the Left, with other blocs that eventually joined, were able to approve initiatives that the government rejected, even insisting on a veto by Miley. And committee chairs as well Key to break the tie (As happened with Bertie Benegas Lynch’s double signature in the budget opinion), Time management and control of discussionsBoth projects and when executives attend to provide clarifications.
The status of the first minority, in addition to its symbolic importance from a political point of view, will also affect the distributive advantage. And when it is known as proportionality, who is supposed to do so in this sense? He will have another place Which can be crucial in some cases. Before that battle was resolved, References from La Libertad Avanza and Unión por la Patria maintained the connections.
As the careful discussion continues, the idea will be that the two blocs (far from the main blocs, with approximately 200 MPs between them) Stay with a similar number of members In every committee. The ruling party will retain the presidency of the most important of them (in addition to the budget, constitutional affairs, foreign relations, general legislation, accountability, etc.) and the Union for the Homeland of some of them, such as health and disability, which the government has been disturbed by.
With the inclusion of former Macristas who respond to Patricia Bullrich and the so-called borrowed radicals, La Libertad will have an Avanza 91 deputies of legislative change. The Union for the Homeland Party, which currently has 98 seats, was in a position to retain this number according to the results of the October 26 elections.
However, in Peronism alarms were raised because The possibility of the deputies escaping After defeat. The first to confirm that he would not go to the bloc led by German Martínez was Javier Nogueira of Tucumán, who will join the seat of independence indicated by Governor Osvaldo Galdo, in good harmony with Casa Rosada.
Catamarca President Raúl Jalil, whose deputies were already cooperating with the ruling party, decided to form a separate bloc with the four representatives of that district. Another person generating uncertainty is Jorge Gato Fernández, who belongs to the Pontano group allied with Alberto Rodríguez Sá.
In the remaining days until high school, La Libertad Avanza will look to continue increasing its numbers with Alejandro Bongiovanni and Veronica Razzini from Santa Fe. In the bench headed by Gabriele Bornoroni, they are confident that, between their additions and Peronism’s deletions, the ruling party will reach the first minority, a condition that few could have imagined just a month ago.
