We don't forget how infamous laws against the people are passed. Buenos Aires, December 17 (NA) – The head of the national deputies' bloc of the Left Front, Myriam Bregman, set the tone this Wednesday and loudly complained about the alleged 'vote-buying' that the government would have practiced in the run-up to the session by 'extorting' provinces with the distribution of National Treasury Contributions (ATN). The PTS leader recalled the emblematic case of Edgardo Kueider, who was caught with thousands of dollars on the border with Paraguay on suspicion that he would have changed his vote on the Bases Law in exchange for a generous bribe. IP Kueider, the senator expelled for corruption who attributes his 'misfortune' to the Single Ballot 'We don't forget Kueider. I don't like votes being bought, I don't like ATN being used for extortion. I like that whoever comes here can decide and face up to what is being voted on,' she clamored. Meanwhile, deputy from the same bloc Néstor Pitrola considered it 'illegal and unconstitutional' to attempt to repeal permanent laws such as the university budget law, pediatric emergency law, and disability law through a norm whose legal effects have a limited validity of one year.
