The President of Argentina, Javier Mileihas stated that it will organize a popular advice in the event that the Argentine Congress rejects the Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU). Numerous laws and regulations are being abolished to deregulate the economy and allow Privatization of public companies.
“If they reject the DNU, I would call for a referendum or referendum,” he explained in an interview with La Nación+ asked members of Congress to explain why they “reject something that benefits people.” reports the Télam news agency.
Milei believed that those who resist are “unaware of the seriousness of the situation” and claimed that those demonstrating against his measures “cannot accept that they have lost” and that the “population has something chose something else.”
“This speaks against the corrupt who get a deal by negotiating a law,” said the far-right president, who pointed out that opposing lawmakers “cannot get any more bribes.”
Good Argentinians are willing to make the effort
While he has called on his opponents to “try” to destabilize his government, he has assured that “good Argentines are ready to make the efforts” that his economic measures entail, even as he has confirmed that will not lead to an increase in the economy in the short term. It will not benefit the salaries of public employees nor will it benefit the self-employed.
The president has stated that his advertisements show that his party, La Libertad Avanza (LLA), has remained “in line” with what was promised, pointing out that there is “no time.” and what is required “a shock of freedom and caste hostility” in the economy because “the situation is really complicated.”
Last weekend, Argentina’s National Federal Administrative Court No. 2, led by Esteban Furnari, approved an appeal seeking a declaration of unconstitutionality against the DNU, arguing that the norm implies a “diversion of power and an abuse of public law.” “
The unions will mobilize against the decree
The General Confederation of Trade Unions (CGT) of Argentina, the country’s main union, and the State Workers Association (ATE), the largest union of public sector workers, will mobilize against the DNU this Wednesday.
The public workers’ union confirmed on Tuesday that it would join the mobilization called by the CGT since last Friday. The confirmation came yesterday after it was published in the Official Gazette The government will lay off 7,000 public administration employees.
This was the trigger for them to call for a “new national day of struggle” to defend public sector workers and against the attack “of this magnitude” on labor rights.
A cascade of lawsuits against his economic decree
Several social and trade union organizations have claimed the nullity of the DNU, since the emergency claimed by the executive to take these strict economic measures does not exist.
Since then, lawsuits and applications alleging that the Milei Decree is unconstitutional have been increasing.
Some of the complainants, such as the constitutional lawyer Andrés Gil Domínguez, assure this The president is trying to “replace the legislative function of Congress and violate the separation of powers.”
Other complainants have made similar comments, accusing the government of trying to “advance a strategy of destruction of Argentine society” and calling for the suspension of the DNU’s effect as “unconstitutional and undemocratic.”
For his part, Justice Minister Mariano Cúneo Libarona considered the economic deregulation decree “totally legitimate.”
“That there might be objections from the usual destructive people or from sectors that somehow feel their privilege has ended? I have no doubt,” admitted Cúneo in an interview with the Clarín newspaper.
The minister assured this Justice will be the one who must “impartially analyze” the DNUand reiterated that he was “not afraid of illegality.”
Currently, Complaints against the decree will be processed before the controversial administrative courtsalthough the decree may be sued in other courts in the country.
