The promoters of this initiative, which should pass multiple filters Before the carrying out of a political judgment is actually approved, they cite the “economic genocide” – alluding to the harshness of the economic adjustment undertaken by the Executive Milei– as one of the causes.

This situation of “Brutal deprivation of a dignified life for growing sectors of people who are unable to access and satisfy their basic work needs in decent conditions, food, housing, health, medication and education (…)” It derives from the decree of necessity and urgency (DNU) 70/2023, signed by the president on December 20, ten days after assuming the Presidency.

Currently, most of the decree remains in effect in Argentinaalthough it was rejected by senators and must still pass through the Chamber of Deputies, it has received harsh criticism from civil society and is being studied in several legal processes.

Prosecutors consider it proven that “there was not there is no necessity and urgency that prevented the correct presentation of legislative proposals”, a consideration that had already been put on the table by jurists and experts.

“(Even taking into account its alleged procedural problems) We cannot fail to emphasize that the content violates, once again, the constitutional supremacy“, consider the signatories of the document.

In addition to DNUactivists accuse Basic Law and Starting Points for the Freedom of Argentines -better known as the “omnibus law”, the star project of Executive Milei which was rejected by the deputies of the Low camerawhere the president’s party is a minority.

They refer to this as “a pompously named mega law with constitutional reminiscences”and they harshly criticize the fact that it included the ratification of the decree of December 20th.

Furthermore, the signatories emphasize that Milei could commit “the crime of instigation to commit crimes”as in his recent harangue in favor of those who evade taxes in Argentinadone before a business forum.

Furthermore, they accuse the president of having made “apology for the crime” with the release of a revisionist video last Memorial Day for Truth and Justice and reduce the education financing or to combat poverty.
