La Derecha Diario Milei will address the nation in a televised broadcast following Congress’s rejection of his decrees.
The President will defend his reforms and will question the parliamentary decision to annul key DNUs
President Javier Milei will deliver a message tonight on national television. He will explain the Executive Branch's position after Congress rejected several key decrees from his government program. These included structural reforms and budget cuts.
Presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni confirmed the announcement. Earlier, Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos stated that the Government will maintain the reforms through resolutions, regulations, and other legal tools.
Criticism of the opposition and defense of the adjustment
Francos questioned why legislators who previously supported projects such as the Bases Law now voted with the opposition. "If they delegate to you and then reject you when you use the delegation, it's illogical," he remarked.
The official emphasized that a significant portion of the reforms has already had an effect. He mentioned the merger and reduction of agencies such as INTA and INTI, pointing to their "excessive bureaucracy."
According to Francos, the adjustment made it possible to move from a deficit to a fiscal surplus: 3.8% of GDP in 2024 and 2.4% in 2025. He also asserted that the decrease in inflation is a direct consequence of this balance.
State reform and rejection of new expenditures
The Chief of Cabinet defended Federico Sturzenegger's work in administrative simplification, which—he said—facilitates private activity and reduces bureaucratic obstacles.
He stated that Kirchnerism seeks to block these measures by promoting higher expenditures, which would put fiscal balance at risk.
Five key decrees rejected in the Chamber of Deputies
The lower house voted against five delegated decrees:
- 462/25: modifies technical agencies such as INTI and INTA.
- 345/25: dissolves the Theater Institute and CONABIP.
- 351/25: transforms the National Genetic Data Bank.
- 340/25: deregulates the Merchant Marine.
- 461/25: promotes the dissolution of the National Highway Administration.
Francos indicated that, even if the Senate confirms the rejection, the impact will be limited because the reforms have already been implemented.
Criticism of the history of delegations
The official accused Peronism and Kirchnerism of abusing the delegation of powers for years. He maintained that the current ruling party only requested one year and met the deadline.
"Those who now reject our decrees are the same ones who granted full powers to previous governments," Francos asserted.
