After taking the constitutional oath of the new legislators and with the special sessions that will begin on December 10, the representatives began their work. Fight for commissions.
The ruling parliamentary party is betting that during the period from 11 to 31 December this year, it will be able to give the green light to two projects in the House of Representatives: Budget 2026 and the Financial Innocence Initiative Which seeks Argentines to “get the dollars out of bed.”
They have little time to calculate that Christmas vacation begins this week. For this reason, although the government has included labor and criminal reforms on its agenda from the beginning, it does not believe it will be able to address them until mid-January or February.
While committees are assembled while discussing texts, In principle they will seek to integrate those Criminal legislation (which has 31 members and can continue to be led by Laura Rodriguez Machado of Cordoba, wife of Patricia Bullrich) and Budget (which has 49 members and will continue to be led by Alberto “Bertie” Viñegas Lynch, who replaced the resigned José Luis Espert).
But the main battle involves the number of members each group will include, and in that discussion Martin Menem has the final say. He added, “The dialogue will begin and will be determined by political agreements.”“Moneim confirmed Clarion While he was walking in one of the corridors of Congress.
In Wednesday’s ceremony, Menem was once again approved as president of the chamber Despite threats of rebellion, the Commission delegated powers to allocate places on committees.
As Clarin said, given that the authority to determine the composition of committees is in fact delegated by the Commission to the President, An agreement has been reached between the Union for the Homeland and the other blocs so that this delegation will not be voted on this time. The composition of each committee shall be put to a vote in the Council.
“Everything was closed but PRO and UCR came outsaid lawmakers from two different groups.
The fact is that on a Tuesday night between 7 and 10 p.m. There was a meeting in which the leaders of the Peronist, United Provinces, PRO, UCR and MID blocs participated. The blame for Menem has piled up on everyone: For blocking commissions, for not keeping his word, for breaking his blocks. They say that at that meeting they confirmed the commitment not to vote for delegations.
But it is also true that the government took action and Interior Minister Diego Santelli energized the meetings. At the moment of truth, the Union por la Patria had only the support of the United Provinces to advance with restrictions on Menem.
“Now garlic and water. He’ll put them together as he wants. Again. Because they let him that way,” one of the Byronians angrily rebuked as he left the session that day.
The issue is that the regulation does not stipulate a clear calculation, but only talks about proportionality and “political sectors.” It does not specify whether the mass or interfacial mass criterion should be taken.
Article 105 stipulates that “the representatives who will form the permanent or special committees shall be appointed, as far as possible, in a manner that enables the Council to Political sectors It is represented The same percentage as inside the room.
In the ruling party, they made some preliminary calculations of proportionality in the 31-member core committees, calculating 12 for La Libertad Avanza and 12 for Union por la Patria. Then three chairs for the third power and two chairs for the next two places.
But as Clarin reported, a strong fight broke out over who is the third force after the PRO and UCR formed an alliance to join a 22-member internal bloc, the United Provinces group that also allied in an internal bloc with Miguel Ángel Pichito’s body and the Civic Coalition.
