It had not been a good political week for Javier Milei: In the Chamber of Deputies he had eaten a 12 voting win and had advanced key projects that the opposition pushes and put it in an uncomfortable place: Have to face public universities or Garraham, among other sectors. AND The president decided to finish it, Friday night, with a national chain that has more discursive effects than real. A chasski boom chain.
It is that, beyond repeating that the fiscal surplus does not negotiate and that it will continue to veto any law that threatens that, announced two measures: the first, to instruct the Ministry of Economy for the prohibition that the Treasury finance the primary expenditure with monetary issuance. The second, Send to Congress a bill to penalize the approval of national budgets with fiscal deficit.
His idea has several skinny points. The first deficiency is practical: How to make deputies and senators approve a project that would punish them? The same Congress, in addition, that it has just been demonstrated to Milei that freedom progresses is in the inferior conditions inside both enclosures.
The second weakness is in the alleged unconstitutionality of the bill that the president wants to send, according to several specialists in the subject. “The immunity of parliamentary expression that crystallizes each time a legislator votes a law and The independence of the Legislative Power Covering democratic deliberation, ”said Law Doctor Andrés Gil Domínguez. Constitutionalist Félix Lonigro added: “A congress or legislature has its own powers, assigned by the Constitution. This was what Montesquieu thought, in ‘The spirit of laws’. Permanently denosting Congress is the full proof that these ‘limits’ bother, which is very dangerous. ”
For experts, Milei was a national chain for the tribune. His militancy celebrated him, despite the fact that the chances of law are almost null. But at Casa Rosada there was an underlying intention: the president spoke on Friday night to avoid an immediate reaction in the market, but the road ratified them: the surplus is not negotiated, even when the most vulnerable sectors in the country are in front.
