Milei could organise a referendum in favour of DNU

The President of Argentina, Javier Milei, assured that he will organize a popular consultation in case the Argentine Congress rejects the Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU), which eliminates numerous laws and regulations to deregulate the economy and allow the privatization of public companies.

“If they reject the DNU, I would call for a plebiscite or popular consultation,” he said in an interview with LaNación+ in which he asked congressmen to explain why they are “opposing something that benefits the people,” he said.

Milei believes that those who oppose it “are not aware of the seriousness of the situation”, arguing that those who protest against its measures “cannot accept that they lost” and that “the population chose something else”.

“This points to the corrupt who grab some business by negotiating some law,” said the far-right president, who has pointed out that the opposing legislators “cannot bite” more bribes.

While he has challenged his opponents to “try” to destabilize his administration, he said that “good Argentines are willing to make the effort” that his economic measures entail, even though he has confirmed that in the short term it will not raise the wages of public employees or benefit the self-employed.

The president said his announcements show that his party, La Libertad Avanza (LLA), is “consistent” with what was promised and said that “there is no time” and that “a shock of freedom and anti-caste” is required in the economy because “the situation is really complicated.”

Last weekend, Argentina’s second Federal Administrative Court, headed by Esteban Furnari, admitted an application for amparo requesting a declaration of unconstitutionality against the DNU, alleging that the rule implies a “misuse of power and an abuse of public law.”
