Omnibus Law to be debated in the Argentine Congress

Debate will begin in the Chamber of Deputies of the omnibus law, the flagship project of the government of Javier Milei

This Thursday will begin the debate in the Chamber of Deputies of the omnibus law, the flagship project of the government of Javier Milei, which seeks a deep reform of the state with less state intervention. The ruling party achieved a majority opinion with the support of several opposition forces, albeit with partial dissent.

The omnibus law, which includes deregulation, modification and repeal of laws in various areas, generated controversy and rejection by some sectors, such as Peronism and the left. Milei’s goal is to achieve fiscal balance this year, but to do so it will have to face resistance on issues such as export duties and pensions.

The Chamber of Deputies will vote in the coming days on the omnibus law, the main project of the Milei government that seeks to reduce state intervention. In the last debate, a deputy from La Libertad Avanza defended the position of Milei, who has distanced himself from Congress: “Politics is not the solution, but the citizens. We want the State to let us work and enter into business.”

La Libertad Avanza, Milei’s far-right party, has only 38 deputies out of 257, but was backed by Juntos por el Cambio (center-right) and part of dissident Peronism. Patricia Bullrich and Luis Petri, former candidates of that coalition, are now part of Milei’s cabinet.
