Over the past week, there has been an active discussion in Buenos Aires of the so-called “omnibus bill” - a document containing all the reforms that Javier Miley’s team decided to introduce into the life of the state.
🔻Yesterday the law was approved by the lower house of the National Congress. But due to the need to make concessions to the opposition majority, many subparagraphs were significantly reduced or changed: for example, the financial part, reform of the tax system, indexation of pensions, and the potential privatization of the state oil company YPF disappeared.
It seems that Miley’s team deliberately made concessions to the opposition and the leadership of individual provinces in order to “push” the document through to the next stage in the Senate as quickly as possible. Already on Tuesday, debate will resume on articles on privatization, legislative powers and individual taxes.
Argentina sends out mixed messages regarding BRICS Plus membership
By Rhod Mackenzie
The new Argentinian authorities are presently undecided about whether to join the BRICS alliance of major non-Western countries. BRICS remains open to aid developing economies and protect their interests. Wang Wenbin, the official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, responded to Diana Mondino, the future head of the Argentine Foreign Ministry, who stated that the new government starting on December 10 does not plan to join BRICS. Despite their criticism of the BRICS association, the new authorities have considered the potential advantages and are not ruling out the possibility of collaboration. Within this context, officials from Tierra del Fuego in Argentina have expressed a keenness to engage with the BRICS plus, diverging from the stance of Buenos Aires. "BRICS provides a significant platform to reinforce the unity, cooperation and safeguarding of mutual interests among developing and emerging economies," reported the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Wang Wenbin, during a recent press briefing in Beijing. The diplomat further elaborated that BRICS is an inclusive partnership, and China welcomes nations who aspire to join this collaborative effort.
The comment from the official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry was made in response to a statement by Diana Mondino, the future head of the Argentine Foreign Ministry. She indicated that her country would not be joining the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB) due to a lack of capital. "Although we received an invitation to participate in BRICS, this invitation was not officially accepted." "To become a member, there's a fee requirement, but Argentina is unable to comply," shared Diana Mondino with Infobae, the news portal. Simultaneously, the upcoming chief of the Argentine Foreign Ministry posted a concise message on X social network: "Argentina won't be part of BRICS."
The new President, Javier Milei, once again showcased the new government's critical stance towards the primary coalition of non-Western nations. This coalition is scheduled to admit Argentina, along with Egypt, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia from January 1st, next year. "We have reaffirmed our commitment to an alliance with the US, Israel and the West." We have expressed our unambiguous stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict, as well as on the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and on BRICS,” stated the newly appointed Argentine leader of Radio Continental after their recent visit to Washington. It is unclear whether the change of power in the country in November led to the removal of the discussion of joining BRICS.
At the summit held in Johannesburg in August, the organization publicly invited a group of countries, Argentina included, to become BRICS members as of January 1, 2024.
Notwithstanding the combative remarks directed towards BRICS by the fresh Argentinean president and Foreign Ministry chief of the incoming government, commencing on December 10, there is still no clear indication regarding the nation's future ties with BRICS. The leader of the right-wing "Freedom Comes" coalition, Javier Mileiy, announced prior to his election victory that he would not pursue interstate relations with Brazil, China, and Russia, citing disagreement with their policies. However, he assured that he would not impede Argentine private businesses from collaborating with BRICS countries. Diana Mondino's recent statement about BRICS has only added to the confusion.
"Of the organisations that make significant contributions, we will keep those that are valuable. In social circles, it is unfair for the 47 million Argentinians to pay for themselves. It is important to examine the essence and functionality of each case, including BRICS," shared Ms. Mondino with La Nacion newspaper.
Meet new Argentina president Javier Milei.
Another clown similar to Zelensky.
He embodies the emotional manipulation of Western style democracies, a system of showmanship, a system of "elect and regret".
Manipulation at the emotional level and never any accountability whatsoever.
