Is the law perfect? No, but in politics nothing is..

And the time we have to do this is not infinite.“, added the former president.

After three weeks of debate in committees, the expectation is that this coming week the senators will reach a consensus to debate the matter in the Chamber, although the lack of negotiations on the part of the libertarians has allowed changes to the articles of the law.

Some changes were accepted, but new complaints arose due to words excluded in the section referring to the powers delegated to the Executive and their impact on the public sector. It remains to be seen what he will say. Javier Mileithe first time (last February) that the project was highly modified, he preferred to withdraw it.

At PRO we have always been in favor of these changes. We have long said that it is necessary to encourage investment, modernize labor standards and eliminate the corporate State, even more so when these public companies are also recording losses.” he added Mauricio Macri in its publication.
