Milei's government has announced that it will take the session to court and veto illegal laws.

Kirchnerism is promoting an institutional coup through an illegal session in the Senate

The Chief of Cabinet of the Nation, Guillermo Francos, confirmed this Thursday that Javier Milei's government will not recognize the validity of the illegal session promoted by Kirchnerism in the Senate, and that, in addition to vetoing any law arising from that irregular procedure, it will proceed with an immediate judicialization due to its lack of institutional legitimacy.

In radio statements, Francos anticipated: “If they send the laws, the Executive Branch will veto them and will also challenge their legitimacy in court.” The warning comes amid a strong climate of political and institutional tension, following the attempt by opposition sectors to move forward illegally with projects that would destroy the fiscal surplus achieved by the libertarian administration.

The session was convened without the signature of the president of the Senate, Victoria Villarruel, and without the special quorum of two-thirds required by the regulations to address these initiatives and change the internal functioning of the Chamber. In addition, the lack of valid committee reports was reported, as well as the inclusion of topics that require special treatment, such as the modification of the provisional presidency of the Senate, which Kirchnerism seeks to control.

The maneuver represents an attempt at an institutional coup, not only because of the economic content of the projects, which would represent an expenditure of 2.5 points of GDP, but also because of the attempt to advance a change in the presidential line of succession, removing the current provisional president, Bartolomé Abdala, from La Libertad Avanza.

Francos, aligned with President Milei's firm stance, reiterated that the government will not allow illegal laws arising from an irregular parliamentary process to be imposed.

The administration's strategy includes both an immediate presidential veto and the filing of legal actions to declare the nullity of what was done in the chamber, based on the rules that regulate the functioning of Congress and the separation of powers.

Thus, Milei's government is preparing to wage a legal and institutional battle against an assault on democratic rules and a desperate attempt by Kirchnerism to regain the power lost at the polls, at the expense of the country's economic stability and constitutional order.
