The Chamber of Deputies decided to suspend the treatment in particular of the bill Bases and Starting Points for the Freedom of Argentines, when the ruling party had lost the vote on articles and subsections that were considered the heart of the initiative and return to committee the majority opinion.
The Argentine Congress will conclude its special period of sessions without having so far approved any of the 14 legislative projects sent by the president, Javier Milei, including the controversial ‘omnibus law’. International treaties, the Single Paper Ballot and the profits law were also rejected.
After the tough defeat in the Chamber of Deputies, the Government focuses on revenge against those who did not support it. The elimination of the subsidy for inland groups as revenge for the governors was now followed by Javier Milei’s decision to remove the head of Anses, Alejandro Giordano, and the Secretary of Mining, Flavia Royon, from the Government.

It must be remembered that the head of the La Libertad Avanza (LLA) bloc of Deputies, Oscar Zago, already suffered a legislative setback that left the Government weakened, who indicated that the omnibus law will not be discussed, by decision of President Javier Milei. .
The fury that Milei poured out on his social networks thousands of kilometers from Buenos Aires echoed in the bowels of the Government. Front-line officials assure that rejection of the law “was a possible option.” They were waiting for him. They were aware of the proximity to failure.
“The law will not be treated again as it was sent to the National Congress. The President has made the determination. He said that for them to destroy the law is not worth it and we are not going to deal with it again,” Zago said
Milei said from Israel that he gave “the order to lift the bill” of the “Bases” law that the Chamber of Deputies returned to committee, after “the political caste began to dismember” the initiative.
