As expected, the Kirchnerism Regulatory and constitutional arguments have been raised against it Labor reform And questioned the composition of the working commissionwho will be the head of the treatment of the initiative sent by the Executive and will preside Patricia BullrichChairman of the Libertarian Caucus in the Senate.
“If they start a debate in this way that changes the labor laws of thousands of Argentines, it will end up straight in court,” he warned. Jose Mayans (Formosa), President of the Popular Interbloc, the new name given to the Kirchnerist Bank in the Upper House.
At the inaugural meeting of the Working Commission, Mayans highlighted the illegality of the decision made by the bloc leaders in a meeting held on Tuesday due to the lack of consent of the entire body, as stipulated in Article 14 of the Senate Rules.
In this sense, he emphasized that neither the President of the Chamber nor the Vice President Victoria Villarruelhad the powers delegated by the body to integrate the commissions.
“You’re coming with me an outrage based on a resolution of non-existent blocs, non-existent senators“, explained the chairman of the Kirchnerist faction, alluding to the decision of the body in December 2023, which, according to the bloc chaired by the Mayans, was invalid after the replacement of a third of the upper house on December 10.
The complaint of Kirchnerism fell on deaf ears. Bullrich spoke up and, with a fearless gesture, called on Parliamentary Secretary Agustín Giustinián to “do what we came to do”.
Such is the libertarian Bartolome Abdala (Saint Louis) took the floor and suggested Bullrich to take over the chairmanship of the commission. The motion was unanimously approved by the 12 named members with a show of hands – five vacant places awaiting the integration of Kirchnerism – allowing the former security minister to take over the leadership of the meeting.
At this moment the moment of greatest tension occurred. Mayas sat next to Bullrich at the teacher’s table and began shouting what Bullrich was saying over the microphone “You can’t do what you do.”regarding the fact that the Libertarian senator intended to chair the commission.
“They do whatever they want,” shouted the Mayans. at the moment of greatest anger. Bullrich did not shy away and called the labor commission at 11 a.m. to begin discussing the labor reform project.
Those invited to the 11 a.m. meeting to explain the ruling party’s bill include the Labor Minister, Julio Cordero; the Deputy Director General of Supervision of ARCA, Javier Rufailand the deputy general director of the institution, Agustin Rojoand the Undersecretary of State for Industrial Policy of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Daniela Ramos.
The same scandal was repeated at the constituent meeting of the Budget and Finance Commission. There, Kirchnerism also questioned the legality of the call and decision of the Presidium of the Upper House.
After the lawsuits, the non-Kirchnerist members of the commission finally ratified Ezequiel Adache (Jujuy) as president. This commission, together with the labor commission, will be responsible for the debate on labor reform.
