Buenos Aires, November 27 (NA) – Buenos Aires provincial deputy and La Cámpora leader Facundo Tignanelli today denied that his faction is blocking the laws sent by Governor Axel Kicillof to the Legislature. He attributed the delays in passing the Financing Law to the need for a special two-thirds majority, which requires opposition votes.
"There is no fight (with Kicillof), there is a working table that has been going on for 15 days, since the three laws sent by the governor entered the legislature," Tignanelli said, while assuring that "yesterday the two laws that do not require an aggravated majority were approved," as reported by the Argentine News Agency.
In an interview on the RPM program broadcast on Splendid AM 990, the legislator close to Máximo Kirchner reposted on his social media X a publication from the newspaper 'La Nación' that read 'La Cámpora threatens to leave Kicillof without funding' to which he responded: "Nonsense".
The Buenos Aires Executive Branch sent three priority laws to the legislature with urgent status: the 2026 Provincial Budget Law, the Tax Law, and the Financing Law. The latter is crucial as it allows the province to borrow up to $3,685 million to meet debt maturities.
According to what Argentine News Agency could learn, a working table of the provincial officialism was formed to advance these initiatives, composed of the Minister of Infrastructure, Gabriel Katopodis; the mayor of Almirante Brown, Mariano Cascallares; the president of the Budget Committee, Juan Pablo de Jesús; the head of the Union for the Patria bloc, Facundo Tignanelli; the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Alexis Guerra, and his vice, Alejandro Di Chiara.
"The newspapers say what they want, but there is no fight, I don't know where they get that from," Tignanelli assured, while explaining that "within Peronism there is an agreement on the basic criteria that the provincial financing law must have, but we need the opposition's agreement because we are a minority in both chambers".
The provincial La Cámpora leader said, by way of example, that yesterday the two laws, Budget and Tax, which require a simple majority, were approved, and the two radical blocs and the 'New Aires' bloc voted in favor.
He stated that the borrowing is necessary "to be able to reprogram payments that come from the administration of (former Governor María Eugenia) Vidal", during whose term the province took on "a very high dollar debt".
Likewise, he confirmed that as part of the negotiations to pass the Financing Law, "they are demanding positions in the provincial bank and in the education council" and also "ask for a fund for the municipalities".
"This is a province that today is being suffocated by the national government, so the governor says that the funds for the municipalities can be granted as the province takes on debt to meet its commitments," he stressed.
