Presidential spokesperson and elected deputy Manuel Adorni also spoke in strong terms: "The President of the Nation will veto each and every bill that implies breaking fiscal balance. Populism is no longer part of the path. End", he stated, closing ranks with the Executive's firm stance.
In an attempt to disguise the impact, deputy Nicolás Massot (Encuentro Federal) proposed a series of complementary articles to justify the spending, including the elimination of tax exemptions for company directors and mutual guarantee companies, as well as the reallocation of $32.616 billion from the SIDE's reserved budget. He also proposed using the funds the State saved thanks to the reduction of IMF surcharges and nationalizing resources from the motor vehicle registries (ACARA and CSA).
However, these sources are insufficient, irregular, or of dubious legality, according to technical experts from the ruling party. There is no guarantee that such revenues will be permanent or attainable, which would make sustaining the measure unfeasible in the medium term.
Meanwhile, the bill establishes that ANSES must automatically transfer to provinces not adhering to the national system a monthly advance equivalent to one-twelfth of what was transferred the previous year, a measure that would also imply an automatic increase in public spending without a corresponding increase in revenue.
