Agreement with the IMF: they seek to issue an opinion and deal with it on Thursday in the Senate

The Frente de Todos left its legislators “free to act” to vote for or against the draft agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The idea in the upper house is to clear the unknown around the position of the sectors closest to Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and remove drama from the definition. All this, of course, counting on the fact that Together for Change will maintain the same position that it adopted during the debate in Deputies. This Tuesday, the National Table of the opposition front will meet and there a position will be defined in this regard. Meanwhile, the Senate Budget and Finance Committee will also meet today to move forward with the signing of the majority and sole opinion of the understanding with the international organization. The idea of the ruling front is to issue an opinion and debate the project this Thursday in the enclosure. In the last hours, the version emerged that the PRO would tie its support in the Senate to the Government not increasing the withholdings. However, its partners in the UCR and the Civic Coalition ruled out that both things are united. The Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán, asked on Monday that the upper house comply in a timely manner with the sanction of the law, since next Tuesday, March 22, the Government must face a maturity of capital with the agency for about 2,800 million dollars. Yesterday, the head of the Treasury Palace spoke with the Chief of Cabinet, Juan Manzur, and other officials of the economic team before the Budget and Finance Committee of the Upper House.
