Carlos Ruckauf: 'Milei's laws are going to be approved because Kirchnerism is cornered'

The former vice president of the Nation, Carlos Ruckauf, analyzed the current legislative and political scenario. He assured that Javier Milei's administration will manage to pass the key laws it is pushing, since in Congress Kirchnerism has been cornered.

"The President is going to pass the laws", Ruckauf stated in a conversation with Las Mañanas con Andino. He explained that the ruling party has a sufficient majority to move forward, even if it must respect Parliament's own timing.

"With Parliament, being impatient is a problem, even if you have a good number of deputies and senators", he maintained. He stressed that Congress has its own dynamics that can't be forced.

Ruckauf highlighted the political work in the Upper House and pointed out that a coalition has been consolidated there that allows the administration to move forward. "Patricia Bullrich in the Senate, with a lot of organized work, has a coalition that is above 40 senators", he stated. Although not all of them will vote for every initiative, they will support the essential laws.

In that regard, he listed the bills that already have support: "It has a committee report on labor reform, it is going to have a committee report on the budget, there is the tax amnesty law, and there will be progress in the Penal Code." "That is to say, the laws are going to pass", he insisted.

For Ruckauf, the current balance of power has left Kirchnerism without real blocking capacity. "In the Senate and in the Chamber of Deputies there is the consensus of a majority that has cornered Kirchnerism", he stated.

He also maintained that the opposition camp itself makes mistakes that deepen that isolation. "Sometimes they make mistakes that corner them, because Mayans went to pick a fight, he put on a show for his own audience, and he could not even appoint his members to the committee".

He stressed that Patricia is the one who has the majority in the Senate, and that this is a power that must be used. "Power that is not used is lost", he sentenced.

Budget and labor reform: the administration's priorities

"What worries the administration the most, which is the budget and labor reform, has the numbers to pass", he assured.

He also explained that January will be a key month to continue negotiating with the governors. "You have a month like January to keep talking with the governors, who agree because they need these laws in their provinces".

At that point, he clarified that the support doesn't imply total political alignment. "That doesn't mean that they are going to vote for everything the administration says, they remain in opposition in an important part of reality."

Ruckauf insisted that the President will have to move forward while respecting institutional timing: "The President is going to pass the key laws he needs at the pace that Parliament can give him."

He also pointed out that a full own majority could only be achieved after a reelection. "To pass everything he wants, the President is going to have to wait to be reelected in 2027 and to have a majority in both houses", he said.

Buen augurio para el próximo año de gobierno de Milei

Economic optimism and support for Milei

On the economic front, Ruckauf was optimistic about the country's evolution and supported the administration's projections.

"Next year the country risk is going to be below 400 basis points and Argentina is going to be investment grade", he stated. He asked for this to be recorded so that it can be reviewed when this happens and his prediction can be remembered.

Regarding inflation, he pointed out: "The President spoke of zero inflation starting from the middle of the year," and he added that, although estimates speak of 10%, the trend is clearly downward.
