The ruling party and its allies imposed the scheme. UP wanted it to be debated article by article. The points in conflict are the reform of the State, the delegation of powers and the large investment regime

The session in the Chamber of Deputies to debate the Bases Law and the tax reform began as planned: shouts on the side of Unión por la Patria , agreement and request to vote on the Parliamentary Labor agreements carried out by the PRO, We Make the Federal Coalition and Freedom Advances.
After several shouts and some fiery speeches, where no libertarian deputy asked to speak to defend his position and that was left in the hands of HCF and the UCR, the chamber voted by show of hands but it was repeated because there was an agreement so that from that moment on everything be voted nominally : the ruling party and the dialogue blocks prevailed by 140 votes in favor against 109 votes against.
In this way, it was resolved that the session will be developed as follows: a joint debate will be held - this means that whoever takes the floor will speak for both laws -, which will be voted on by chapters, which in the case of the Base Law are 12, without opening the discussion article by article, something that generated a strong discussion among the presidents of the blocks.

In that same agreement it was established that there will be no intermediate quarters in the debate, so it is estimated that the session in which the debate on both laws will be carried out - one of them also includes the labor reform - is expected to not take less than 30 hours, which means that you could be voting tomorrow, Tuesday, afternoon. In the first estimates, legislators indicate that the general vote will be around 6 a.m. tomorrow, Tuesday.
Regarding the vote, in Parliamentary Labor it was established that even if the debate is carried out together, the laws will be voted on separately.
Once the session began, the reporting member of the Base Law for LLA was Santiago Santurio, who made a political speech but did not develop any point of what both bills establish. The other deputy who did the same for the ruling party was José Luis Espert.
“We deeply thank the Argentine people for their efforts to accompany the measures they are carrying out to channel the disaster that the previous administration left us,” Espert began by saying. With more parliamentary experience than his colleague Santurio, he asked permission to read - it is not allowed by regulation - and referred to different points of the tax reform project.

“Massa destroyed the Income Tax irresponsibly. She took it to the ninth basement and we are going to rebuild it,” Espert said and went on to explain in detail what the return of the tribute is intended to pursue.
Espert focused on Profits because it is one of the points where, if the ruling party manages to approve it, it will be “very finite” since there are many legislators who are not very comfortable with the return of the tax.
Something similar happens with the State Reform that establishes the Omnibus Law, which if approved would allow the Government to eliminate various organizations, where the Civic Coalition block requested that it be voted outside the chapter.
Along these lines, Unión por la Patria - which had perfect attendance and which asked to vote article by article - will ask to open the chapter of the Tax Regime for Large Investments which not only places a 0% tariff on imports that require these investments, "destroying to local SMEs” and in particular article 162 of the regime which establishes that any local norm that affects what is voted by the National Congress is “null of all nullity” legislating on the provinces, something that is not allowed .
Once the debate has begun, there are at least 30 years ahead in which Unión por la Patria will seek to add some will that is in doubt and the ruling party will do the same in search of adding votes that will ensure final approval. If this happens, finally and after almost five months of management and with extraordinary sessions, the ruling party would have the first parliamentary victory.
