Outspoken on the debate on the law: “Everything is practically closed”

A day after the approval of the “Bases” Law, promoted by President Javier Milei, in the Chamber of Deputies, the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos, assured that “practically everything is closed.” The law was generally approved, it was an important step and an achievement of the administration. There are still a few issues to be agreed upon in particular, but not many. It’s practically all pretty closed,” the minister first commented. Along these lines, through a dialogue with Radio Mitre, Francos highlighted the work of the blocs that are not part of the ruling party. “We must also recognize the work of PRO, the bloc of radicalism, and the one led by Pichetto – We Make Federal Coalition – which have collaborated with good intentions,” he said. We ask that they let us rule. The law is going to benefit the people a lot. Milei’s government is trying to attack the real cancer of Argentina, which is the cultural conception that you can spend anything without resources,” he added. The minister also remarked that “privatizations are being discussed” to respond to the claims, but “without deviating too far from the objectives of the law.” Regarding the questions about the delegation of powers, he indicated that “there are many delegations in the law, but they are reasonable in the emergency stage we are experiencing.” In this sense, Francos explained that “we do not have to make a world because these are faculties that have been assigned to all governments practically since we have been in a democracy.” On the other hand, he revealed that the bill presented by Milei is the first of a group that will seek to change policies in the long term to “advance on different issues over time,” with the aim of “concentrating all taxes into five or six total taxes that finance all public activity.” Regarding his dialogue with the governors of different provinces, Francos said that “the governors demand resources for their provinces,” and then stressed that the government “privileges resources for the nation in this moment of crisis, because it is the one that attends to the most urgent problems.”
