The Senate illegally approved four laws that seek to destroy the Argentine economy

In an illegal session, driven by Kirchnerism and opposition sectors, the Senate of the Nation passed a package of laws on Thursday that destroys the fiscal surplus achieved by the government of Javier Milei.

The initiatives were approved in the context of a day that openly violated the internal regulations of the Upper House and without the qualified quorum required by law, representing an attempt at an institutional coup by Kirchnerism.

The enacted initiatives include a general increase in pensions, the reactivation of the pension moratorium, the declaration of a disability emergency, and the creation of an Emergency Fund for the floods in Bahía Blanca.

Nevertheless, far from seeking to help people, these Kirchnerist laws only aim to destroy the government's economic program and generate a new crisis.

The seriousness of what happened lies not only in the economic content of the laws, but also in the illegality of the parliamentary procedure used. The session was convened without the signature of the president of the Senate, Victoria Villarruel, an essential condition for its validity. In addition, the initiatives discussed required a special two-thirds quorum, something that was not reached. Furthermore, despite the complaints, Villarruel decided not to adjourn the session, acting as an accomplice to Kirchnerism.

Milei's government has already announced that it will veto the laws and will initiate legal actions to declare the session illegitimate and nullify all actions taken. The Chief of Cabinet, Guillermo Francos, was categorical: "If they send the laws, the Executive Branch will veto them and will also challenge their legitimacy in court."

The Kirchnerist maneuver is nothing more than a desperate attempt to impose uncontrolled spending and sabotage a successful macroeconomic stabilization program that, for the first time in decades, is delivering results.
