Milei removes iron from the judicial blow to his decree: "The parties have 90 minutes"

The Chamber of Labor issues a second precautionary measure against the labor reform

The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, has downplayed the judicial and political obstacles to the reforms that he has already begun to undertake, including the decree that encourages economic deregulation, and has trusted that "everything will work out." regardless of short-term setbacks: "The games last 90 minutes, they don't end until the final whistle."

A day after the National Chamber of Labor suspended the part of the decree relating to labor reform and while doubts grow about the path of his proposals in Congress, Milei stated in a radio interview that "do nothing" or continue "doing the same thing" is "infinitely worse" for Argentina.

The president has promised to "work tirelessly to avoid the crisis." "I do not want an Argentina with 98 percent poor and half indigent," concluded Milei, who has nevertheless admitted that the results of his reforms will not be seen with immediate effect, but in 15 years, when he hopes that Argentina is one of the "richest countries in the world", reports the Télam agency.

The Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) promoted by Milei includes some 300 laws and seeks to deregulate the economy, apply a state of public and economic emergency until December 31, 2025, modify the labor market and health plans , repeal the rental law and privatize public companies, among other measures.

The same judges who adopted the precautionary measures on Wednesday to paralyze the labor reform have signed a second decision in this regard this Thursday, in this case in response to a request from the Central of Argentine Workers (CTA), pending that the text be thoroughly examined.

The Government already announced on Wednesday that it would appeal the precautionary measures and the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, has confirmed that they will present an extraordinary appeal before the Supreme Court of Justice, alleging reasons of "incompetence" because they consider that it corresponds to the contentious jurisdiction and not the labor jurisdiction. decide on this case.

"It was something we expected (...) Until today we were not notified of this ruling. When it is formalized, we will appeal," explained the spokesperson, who has once again defended the decree as an instrument to protect workers and has denied any type of internal dispute due to the battery of measures announced in recent weeks -- "it's all rumor," he noted.
