It officially starts this Tuesday in the Senate battle for Javier Milei’s controversial labor reform law. The parliamentary working session will be called at 11 a.m. and you will be invited to it define the members of the Labor and Social Security Commission, which is responsible for processing the initiative. Only two things are clear in the preview: that the President of the Commission will be Patricia Bullrich – she is also the chairwoman of the La Libertad Avanza bank – and that it is the ruling party and its allies will guarantee the majority this Tuesday.
The first minority in the Senate corresponds to the Bank of the Unión por la Patria, which consists of 28 senators. Of the 17 members of the working commission, for example: Portion Peronism would have 6.6 members. What certainly won’t happen is that the cut will be made upwards and UxP will be left with 7 members. Most likely he has 6 or even 5.
So to the governing party, its most important allies PRO and UCR and to the other blocs would be between 11 and 12 Members of the Commission. The conformation is Notice because it determines the times for processing the project.
Bullrich accelerate and calls for an opinion from the Commission this week. His ultimate intention is that this Wednesday the Commission will meet for the first time and that the initiative will take place between Thursday and Friday get opinion. There is even talk of a possibility Meeting on Monday December 29th to approve labor reform in the Senate.
The plan sounds pretty good at the moment. ambitious. What’s more: the governing party believes it is pointless to invite experts, trade unions and employers’ chambers to the upper house to talk about the initiative.
“It has already been discussed in the May council. Will the UIA and the CGT come and say the same thing? The government has already listened to everyone.” “It makes no sense to continue wasting time on this discussion,” they claim in the Libertarian Caucus, referring to the advisory body created by Milei to discuss structural reforms. This council consists of a representative from the CGT, another representative from the UIA, a governor, a senator and a deputy.
In the Senate, however, there are some they contradict The official argument. “Does the May Council replace Congress? All of its members were also appointed by the President,” They interviewed allies of La Libertad Avanza.
Peronism aims to attract around 100 exhibitors, which – regardless of whether it would enrich the debate or not – will undoubtedly increase would expand a possible adoption of the law.
As soon as he received a copy of the project signed by the President, Bullrich did so circular in his bloc and his allies. The former security minister has already received some feedback and suggestions for adjustments that will be incorporated into the negotiations to ensure the verdict and votes in the chamber.
In LLA they seem confident: That’s what they say In principle, you have already secured 38 votes (Most are guaranteed at 37). Maybe it’s possible to come to a meeting at 38 too fair. One or the other turns back that day and the ruling party suffers a painful defeat.
Although Bullrich is working towards a quick approval, many rule out that there will be any setbacks. The most obvious is that the project includes 197 articles, is complex and any possible change may have consequences within the regulations themselves that must be taken into account.
However, without affecting the spirit or the more structural reforms, the leader of the Libertarian group accepts that there could be changes to the text in order to attract votes and ensure its half-approval.
With Luis Richterthe Libertarian caucus has 21 senators of its own. If we count the 3 from the PRO and the 10 from the UCR – the ruling party assumes that everyone will support the law, although some sectors have doubts – we come to 34.
The ruling party then strives for a rapprochement with the Tucumán Beatriz Avila -Play now agrees with the governor Osvaldo Jaldo-, the two missionaries from Carlos Rovira and the Neuquina, which answers the governor Rolando Figueroa. And it will also target the dissident Peronists Carlos “Camau” Espinola And Alejandra Vigo (Some doubt she supports the law), the Chubut native Edith Terenzi (President’s ally Ignacio Torres)the Saltena Flavia Royon and the Santacruceños José Maria Carambia And Natalia Gadano.
“There are many,” says a libertarian actor, pointing to the fact that negotiations will be very fragmented, potentially increasing complexity.
They joined together in the Unión por la Patria guarantee that its 28 senators will vote against the bill. In the ruling party they believe the same thing.
Meanwhile, Bullrich is trying to secure the votes: This Monday they saw the dissident Peronist “Camau” Spinola enters his office.
