Guillermo Francos announced when the Senate could approve the Bases Law

The Chief of Staff, Guillermo Francos, said on Sunday that the Bases Law could be approved in the Senate – with modifications – in mid-June, and then return to the House of Representatives, where it would be sanctioned in July. One learns from mistakes and tries to change, improve and understand the other,” reflected the coordinating minister and main liaison of the Casa Rosada with the governors on the extensive debate that the project is conducting. “The basic law is going to come out, it will come out of the Senate. I hope that the following week the chamber will probably approve the law and there will be no more modifications, and then it has to go back to the Deputies because of the modifications,” he said on LN+. Analyzing the extent of the debate in Congress, Francos acknowledged with some self-criticism: “Time has passed. It is a time when politics in general has had to digest this new political space that has appeared in Argentina. And maybe we didn’t understand from the outset that this treatment was going to be so complex, and maybe the law we presented at the beginning was much broader and maybe that’s why it led us to the failed attempt.” After several weeks of debate in committees after the half-sanction of Deputies, the Government’s flagship project obtained an opinion and next week it would be discussed in the hemicycle. Due to the modifications agreed with the dialogue opposition, the text will return to the Lower House, where another discussion is on the horizon to see if the body ratifies the modifications or insists on the original text. In the first scenario, the changes will be ratified with a single vote overall. If, on the other hand, the Chamber insists on the original half-sanction, the same or greater majority than that reached in the revising chamber would be needed.
