Budget: the PRO will abstain in the vote in Deputies

The PRO bloc will abstain in the vote for the Budget that will be debated today in the Chamber of Deputies. The decision was confirmed by María Eugenia Vidal, legislator of the opposition space.” The process started very well, the Executive sent a text that had a greater recognition of reality, “said the former governor in dialogue with La Red radio. However, a series of modifications introduced in the closure of the commission, with which the opposition space does not agree, would have twisted a “dialogued and reasonable” process. Deputies will begin this noon the debate for the 2023 Budget, in a session that is expected to be marathon. The text prepared by the Economy Ministry projects, among its main points, a growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 2% and inflation of 60%.” The PRO bloc is going to abstain,” the legislator said. With criticism from the ruling party for cuts in sensitive areas, such as education, the “Law of Laws” also provokes differences among the opposition. It is that the abstention of the PRO is added to the rejection of the Civic Coalition and United Republicans. And all three differ from their allies in the UCR, who, at first, would approve the project. Background
The Frente de Todos negotiates with the rest of the blocs to avoid a repeat of what happened last December, when Deputies rejected the project drafted by the then Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán.Therefore, he negotiated with the opposition a series of modifications that were introduced during the debate in committee. But changes included at the last minute changed the position of the PRO, which will abstain, and the ruling party builds bridges with other blocs to gather the necessary votes to give half sanction to the “Law of laws.”
