Much was written and said, during these first two weeks of February, about President Milei and his megaDNU; about the attempt to legalize it through the so-called Omnibus Law; on his officials and interlocutors and, finally, on the constitutional decision taken by the majority of the National Congress, by returning the aforementioned project to Commissions. Like a capricious and inflexible dictator, this President, whose force has only 37 deputies and seven enadors, did not learn to add and subtract, nor did the Regulations of both Chambers, which provide for a quorum of 129, the first, and a quorum of 37, the second. . Nor does he know anything about the functioning of the State and, even less, about Federalism and the collection and sharing system, in a country in which none of the provinces manages to cover 50% of their expenditures with their own resources (what’s more: almost none cover 20%). And this is not due to massive incompetence of governors for decades, but to a national matrix designed from a unitary port vision, with the submissive accompaniment of provincial representatives in a systematic manner. The political position assumed by Governor Jaldo and instructed to his two deputies and his deputy (let it be understood clearly, they did not decide to represent the People of Tucumán, but rather the mandate of the provincial Executive Branch), was not innovative and disruptive, as some insist. promote, but quite the opposite: it was a position that defends the status quo of the unjust productive matrix of Tucumán (rich landowner businessmen and poor laborers) and not because President Milei’s megaDNU was in the opposite direction to what was old known. Our Governor wasted the opportunity – in any case – to try to establish a regional Block instead of a provincial one, confirming that the trend continues to be individualism over the collective; the particular over the general; the unitary over the federal.
