Deputies gathered at the venue yesterday afternoon/Ivan Campos
Yesterday afternoon, the Buenos Aires House of Representatives met to give parliamentary status to the budget, finance and tax law projects and applications for authorization of debt assumption worth $1.99 billion sent to Congress by the state executive branch.
The initiative is scheduled to be debated next week in the State House of Representatives’ Budget and Taxation Committee, chaired by Christian deputy Juan Pablo de Jesús and accompanied by radical Maria Silvina Vacarezza as vice president.
The commission told EL DIA that it would like to discuss Governor Aksel Kisilov’s economic policies in the last week of November.
As of December 10, there are 37 members from the Patria Union (UxP) and 13 from the PRO. Freedom Advance 12. UCR + 9th place on the Federal Exchange. 6 songs from We Are Buenos Aires. six more from Union and Liberty; 3 people from Nuevos Aires. 3 people from Citizens Union. Two from the left and one from the right. Approving the initiative requires a vote of 62 members of the ruling party, who are sitting on the floor due to debt, with two-thirds of them in favor.
But beyond negotiations with the opposition bloc (which has already called on the Kisilov government to “cooperate” with positions in constitutional bodies and the Supreme Court), other discussions are taking place within the UxP bloc. Here, of the 37 members of parliament, La Campora and Massismo together make up to 20 members, which is more than the number of MPs supporting Xylofismo.
To overcome suspicions between Fundamentally Christian and the governor’s allies, the faction’s Facundo Tignanelli, then chairman of the UxP bloc, announced this week: “We will work to get this budget passed, and we hope that we can achieve it.” “What we’ve gotten from the opposition is a willingness to start refining the standards to make this happen,” he said.
Lawmakers from Aksel Kisilov’s Movement for the Future hope they can prove their Christian sincerity by encouraging approval of the state government’s economic policies. Only a few days remain until Maximo Kirchner’s term as state PJ president expires on December 10th.
budget, taxes, debt
The 2026 state budget projects total spending of $43 billion, compared to the $36 billion disbursed this year. And it details $3.2 trillion in capital spending, $1.7 trillion in social assistance, $1.7 trillion in health care, $1.3 trillion in education, and $1.4 trillion in security and prison services.
In the tax chapter, the economic official who prepared it said that the rate of integrated income tax (IIBB) will remain unchanged. 75% of vehicles in the PBA will see a “nominal reduction” in tolls, and the mechanism for setting tolls for urban (residential and vacant land) or rural properties will also remain unchanged.
But arguably the governor’s most focused effort is his request for authorization to assume $1.99 billion worth of debt. “We specifically need financing legislation to ensure that we can maintain normal operations next year,” the governor said during the official presentation of the economic initiative at the Governor’s Office.
An important aspect of the budget discussion is the financial resources available from local governments. The state executive makes these funds conditional on the approval of debt as provided in the Finance Act sent to Congress. this
In the framework of a regular press conference held at the government building, Government Minister Carlos Bianco made it clear to reporters present that “the state needs this debt to strengthen its coffers, from which it can allocate part of it to local governments as planned.”
