In a heated meeting, the ruling party is preparing for sanctions this Wednesday the 2026 budget and the other two laws which form the government’s economic package Martin Llaryora. Not before you get caught in the crossfire with the opposition Protest on the street of the state unions. The 6% (up to 4% for the fund + 2% for Apross) that the managing director can deduct from the assets has fueled the claim.
As is the case at the end of every year, the discussion becomes more heated due to the government’s stimulus package and last-minute political initiatives with high political costs. This time economic laws are added effective measures to curb pension fund losses. The projected operating deficit for 2026 is $821 billion.
The ruling party arrives at the meeting location with the necessary expression the UCR bank, which will generally accompany the 2026 budget, but at the time of special voteradicalism rwill throw away almost 50 items of the entire economic combination, including the controversial article authorizing the executive to increase “up to 4%” of public employees’ pension contributions to the pension fund. In addition, there is a discount of 2% more on the salaries of those working for Apross.

He Verdict and the rest of the opposition groups – including the libertarian Agustín Spaccesi – declared his complete rejection in the first reading of the economic laws. There would be no reason to change this vote. The protest by the unions is causing additional tension.
In this context, the PJ has the tight numbers at the time of fine agreement (especially). With her 35 votes (34 of her own plus that of her unconditional ally Karina Bruno), she can fall back on the decisive vote of the deputy governor Myrian Prunotto or the double vote of the provisional president. The other card that the ruling party retains for moments of narrow parity is the absence of a radical split Graciela Bisotto.
Amid the hustle and bustle of a series of committee meetings and the climate heated up by the explosive combination of the budget and pension funds, the ruling party released a statement yesterday afternoon send Majority of the three economic laws that are being discussed today. There are at least 20 changes in the budget and reform of the tax code.
In addition to fund rebates of up to 4%, the ruling party added a cut of up to 2% (in addition to the average 4.5% already paid) from the salaries of public servants for the Provincial Health Insurance Administration (Apross). This way, Llaryora will be empowered to increase the contributions of the Fund and Aprosse through the laws that the ruling party will pass.
“The project you had in the first reading raises concerns increasing the contributions of state employees from two to four. Something that had not been justified in the order and that we had denounced on site. Now it’s happening something similar regarding the apros. “If you don’t point it out, if you don’t criticize it, it’s not justified,” asked the radical Brenda Austin. “If it happens, it happens,” one official was heard saying out loud in a joke that drew angry grimaces from opponents.
““This government continues to repair, continues to treat the symptoms and not the disease.”expressed Alejandra Ferrero (UCR) at the time of the discussion opened in the plenary session of the Health, Labor and General Legislation Commissions the popular initiative of the pensioners group Promoting, among other things, the reimbursement of 82% of the furniture and the abolition of the deferral of pension benefits.
Under seven keys
The opposition was more cautious, as the ruling party is expected to vote under the umbrella of the popular initiative, which already has parliamentary status, on Wednesday morning Aim of a honeycomb project to remove the red from the caja. The PFY’s speech will focus on the need for those receiving pension benefits of more than 3 million to contribute more to benefit those at the bottom.
In the sea of versions, there is a strong rumor that the official initiative could be discussed in the same session today, although other voices claim that it will be debated in the plenary session on the 23rd. In any case, it is no coincidence that the plenary session of the commissions took place under the leadership of Silvina Jurich He entered an interim room to take office by 8:30 a.m. today the files that keep the pro-government swords under lock and key.
The game is clear. Under the protection of Project 45.015/L/25 (Popular Initiative), the PJ will push its initiative through the debate stimulated by the demands of provincial pensioners. ““They’re going to use the retired teachers’ demand to say, ‘We’re going to look to increase at the bottom and cut at the top.'”reasoned a parliamentary voice.

Opposition attack
“You’re talking about a deficit You have already reported the liabilities and the solidarity contribution that they discount, with which they collect 69 billion and with the assets (extraordinary deposit 4% which collect 196 billion) plus interest and financial commissions which bring in almost 30 billion. In other words: The deficit is borne by everyone, not just by those who make state transfers,” emphasized Ferrero in his sharp criticism.
“They stuff their mouths and talk about the highest pension in the country, when They stagnated at the minimum salary and paid a misleading, unpaid supplementwhich does not generate acquired rights,” said the Deloredista. “They had 25 years to fix it (the deficit) and now they claim that.” Retirees earn less and active people pay more“, he concluded.
Walter Nostrala (Frente Cívico) also used heavy artillery amid a dense climate that caused the onslaught of Facundo Torres against the opponents because they had “played politics” with the pensioners’ demands. “We are in the house of politics, we are legislators” of the opposition, said Judge Falke. “Ruled the province of Cordoba for 26 years. Who will they blame now?”he started.
“We got to this situation with pensioners and provincial employees because of the inefficiency, arrogance and inefficiency of the PJ in power,” Nostrala complained. “You have ruled for more than a quarter of a century and The only thing they did was worsen the situation of pensioners in Córdoba,” explained the leader of the opposition bench, who responded to Luis Juez, but rejected this The blame lies with the pensioners who earn 2 or 3 million pesos. “They have contributed to earning what they deserve. Nobody has the right to put their hand in their pocket,” he concluded.
Official criticism
The current acting president opened fire against the stock market hawks. “Some lawmakers The opposition is trying to engage in party politics. So let’s not say that we understand it as a legitimate claim, that we are looking for solutions, that we understand that we all have to work together, because it is a lie,” Torres said.
“It is used to achieve greater acceptance in elections and to have a little more influence in a media company,” accused the Peronist when he took aim at the hardliners of the “Together for Change” interbloc. “I don’t want to tarnish any legitimate claim with the game of politics.”explained the person who takes over the leadership of the official bloc today.
Immediately afterwards he faced the radicals the adjustment the Santa Fe governor had to make, Maximiliano Pullaro, given the poor situation of the pension fund in the neighboring province. Looking to the future, Torres noted, but without anticipating the measures that the executive will take: “We are sticking responsibly to the proposals that you put forward, which I consider to be legitimate,” he told the pensioners’ representatives, “but also.” also with the elimination of a deficit”.
One version
There is speculation about this among opponents The ruling party will use the popular initiative as support of pensioners to justify the adoption of unfriendly measures to maintain the pension system. This is not a limit as in Matías Chamorro’s project, but an additional discount of up to eight points for pension amounts exceeding 3 million pesos.
According to opposition voices, this is where the idea comes from, although in the ranks of the non-governmental groups everything is uncertain and is being put into the realm of speculation. “Anyone who earns more than 3 million will receive an 8 point discount.” And with that they will give a few compliments to the 5,000 who are at the base, but not as an increase, not as Chamorro says, of the 82% of the mobile forces, but as a complementary contribution,” added an interlocutor in his guess about the ruling party’s next moves.
The secret will be revealed this morning The PJ puts on the table the opinion that will open the controversy. And even more so if we want to move forward in the same session while the opposition is making its tough attack and the unions are protesting in the streets.
The tension increased since the last session when all opponents – with the exception of Spaccesi – left the premises not to validate the Prison Allocation Act. There is a lot of noise – quietly – about this situation, which has sparked a tough bill between opposition hawks and the pro-government swordsmen, with no small addition: strong unease on the part of Governor LLaryora.
