Milei's reforms bill RAE ARGENTINA TO THE WORLD

Omnibus Law Lower House debated on Wednesday

Government and opposition negotiate until the last minute changes in the reforms project of president Javier Milei, the so-called "Omnibus Law".

The initiative, whose real name is "Law for Bases and Starting Points for the Liberty of Argentines", will be debated tomorrow in the Lower House.

In the last hours, the Casa Rosada and the so-called "pro-dialogue opposition" have been trying to reach an agreement on the delegation of powers to the President.

Differences are also being ironed out on how to privatize dozens of state-owned companies.

It is worth remembering that the Milei administration had already removed more than 100 articles from the original text to facilitate the treatment of the bill in Congress.

The Omnibus Law aims at a broad structural reform of Argentina.

It includes hundreds of articles to deregulate the labor, health, transportation and energy markets, among other areas.

According to the government, it seeks to drastically reduce the participation of the State in the economy, in order to generate investment and private employment.

The initiative has the support of parties such as the PRO of former president Mauricio Macri and the UCR, although with specific differences that are being negotiated.

Meanwhile, most of Peronism, trade unions and social organizations, as well as some governors, are among the staunchest critics of the Omnibus Law.

They also reject the other important measure taken by President Milei in his first weeks in office: the repeal by decree of hundreds of laws.
