Government wants to push privatization of airlines, post office and RTA | Despite “dialogues” negotiated with senators

Xavier Miley’s government had anticipated this Will by any means go ahead with the sale of those government companies that were left out of the privatisation list yesterday Negotiated with opposition senators to obtain approval of the Base Law.

“We are going to push for the privatization of Aerolineas Argentinas, Correo Argentino, and so on.” The Chief of Staff said, Guillermo FrancosA few hours after the National Congress had agreed otherwise.

The statement of the chief of ministers shows this The government’s disloyalty to the areas of dialogue it agreed with Concessions and changes in the above omnibus law.

Francos clarified that although these companies were excluded from the list of privatizations included in the Basis Law, The ruling party will try to sell them by other means in whole or in part.

“It is one thing that privatization is not approved in this law”But that doesn’t mean it can’t happen “Submit concrete projects on concession or privatization proposals”In a conversation with Radio Mitre, the official explained.

The privatisation move will be successful then new projects Who will try to gain the support of political partners and potential allies in the provinces.

Argentine Airlines, Argentine Mail, Argentine Radio and Television State Society They were the State to which La Libertad Avanza resigned from the list of companies to sell. Thus, those that will be privatized or concessioned by the Base Law will be AYSA, Intercargo, Corredores Viales, Belgrano Cargas, SOFSE and Energía Argentina.

“There were a few things left along the way that we’ll try to fix in the deputies.”

But this will not be the only issue on which the government will try to gain ground. Since the law will return to the deputies to definitively seal the changes included in the text approved last night, Francos speculates that the idea is also to reclaim land,

“There were a few things left along the way that we’ll try to fix in the deputies when the project comes back.”The Chief of Staff emphasized and cited as an example “Personal earnings and assets”,

Both taxes were also tools of bargaining with provincial senators, particularly with the Patagonians, who refused to vote in their favour until the government clearly relented.

According to Francos, when the income tax returns for workers excluded from that payment were voted on in the House of Deputies, “There were legislators who were confident in what they were doing”,

Francos will appeal again to the will, which denied that the Base Law is a “disestablished law”.

To do this, he anticipated, he would renegotiate among the deputies.”I’m a communicator who wants to buildBut to be able to do this together we have to abandon ideological positions with the desire to destroy everything,” he stressed.

For this reason and despite the amendments, Francos said the approval of the law was “still an impressive victory” for the government of Xavier Miley. “It is true that this law does not solve all of Argentina’s problems, but it is a tool that will allow us to move forward on pending issues”He accepted.
