Today, MID deputy Oscar Zago was elected as the president of the Permanent Bicameral Commission for Legislative Procedure, succeeding libertarian senator Juan Carlos Pagotto. Zago assumed this position in the commission responsible for addressing the DNU related to the IMF, after the proposals from Kirchnerism, which supported Nicolas Massot, and from the ruling party, which backed Pagotto's reelection, were tied.
In a contested vote, Oscar Zago obtained the necessary support to lead the commission, displacing Pagotto from his position. This change in the presidency reflects a shift in the direction of the Bicameral Commission, which will play a crucial role in the treatment of the DNU in question. In this regard, Zago commented: "It is an honor to take on this responsibility and work together to address legislative issues of great relevance such as the agreement with the IMF."
Zago's election as president marks a new chapter in the functioning of the Permanent Bicameral Commission for Legislative Procedure, presenting a scenario that will require dialogue and consensus among the various political forces represented in Congress. Undoubtedly, the task of addressing the DNU with significant financial implications will test the capability of the new president and the members of the commission to reach agreements for the benefit of the country.
