The senator from La Libertad Advances Francisco Paolotroni He spoke about the arrival of the Base Law in the Senate and was optimistic. Despite the fact that the official bloc is a minority in the lower house and that Peronism has 33 seats, the man from Formosa maintained that he is convinced that the project has a chance of being approved: “Unión por la Patria is closer to losing some votes than adding four more“he declared.
“The law should come out of common sense, because it is a benefit for all Argentines, for all the provinces, for the needs and interests of the governors,” said Paoltroni and added: “I believe that some of those who make up the bloc of the 33 would be accompanying”.

The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That is why it bothers those who believe they are the owners of the truth.
The senator was convinced that in the Union for the Homeland bloc there will be different positions. According to Paoltroni, three groups coexist in space today that are not necessarily going to coincide because “they think very differently and have very different interests.” “One group is Cristina Kirchner. Another group are the orphans who do not obey her and who lost their relationship with her governor because he lost the last election. And then you have the senators who do respond to the governors. There, especially those who come from mountainous provinces, How can they not support this law, since the only thing it will bring them are benefits?“, he analyzed in statements to “La Mañana de CNN”.
Paoltroni gave the mountain provinces as an example because, from his point of view, the Base Law will be a great boost for activities such as mining. In this sense, when asked about the economic recovery that some leaders of the ruling party are beginning to talk about – including President Javier Milei -, Paoltroni said that “it is already happening” and assured that the Base Law will boost these strategic sectors.

Even though he acknowledged that “There are things that are not liked by the majority of Argentines and those who have supported this project, such as the Income Tax“He maintained that there are issues that could not be resolved until conditions improve. “This law comes to pull the rug out from under and it does so with large investments that are going to launch activities that have not even been launched in Argentina, such as the mining sector. Chile, with whom we share a mountain range, has copper as its first exportable product. We have a brand new mountain range. What happened? We lost twenty years, but that’s it. We have to get to work so that we can be a power once and for all.
Regarding the impact of the recovery on the microeconomy and on citizens’ pockets, Paoltroni assured: “The worst and most expensive of all the taxes we are paying is the inflation tax and it is the one that is falling by the hour, not by day. Close the deficit, close the gap in financial dollars, lower the interest rate, the country risk… These are all the consequences of an economic plan whose results are beginning to be seen. I never doubted, but the results are beginning to be seen in the micro. You find a lot of products in the supermarket for which the price begins to drop, there are some banks that begin to offer mortgage loans, which no longer existed in Argentina. “We are moving towards a healthy economy.”

In any case, Paoltroni acknowledged that a readjustment of the economy will be necessary. “Everything is becoming normal, everything is being corrected. You have to look for prices. Suddenly you ask for a bolillero in a store and they tell you 12 thousand pesos and you look for it in Mercado Libre and it appears for 4 thousand. It’s quite an arrangement. Many merchants They have been left with stock and they resist that loss even though they have more money in dollars than before. The peso is more beautiful every day and everyone wants it,” he stressed.
In addition, he highlighted that there are banks that are offering mortgage loans. “I think the worst was March. April was a pivotal month and from now on it will be all good news for Argentines,” he said.
Official expectations with the schedule of the Bases Law in the Senate
The objective of the ruling party is to sanction the Base Law and the fiscal package before the May Pact. Although the times are tight, Paoltroni was expectant and said that It is likely that the project will be discussed in the venue on Thursday, May 16.
“On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week it is discussed in committees. Suppose that the favorable opinion is issued on Thursday of next week. There you have to wait seven days and it is discussed on Thursday the 16th in the chamber. There can be law“, held.

While some opposition leaders expressed criticism regarding the lack of time to discuss some aspects of the law, the senator from Formosa insisted that the rule was highly debated. “This is a reduced version of the law that was sent in January,” he said, adding: “It took four and a half months of debate. All the water that ran under the bridge is no small thing.”
In this sense, he rejected that large modifications could be made in the Senate and maintained that in the event that small changes are proposed and it must return to the Lower House, it will not alter the objective of the national Executive. “We don’t have to be alarmed because the Deputies say ‘yes, we agree with this modification’ and it’s over.”
