Kirchner speaks out against easing the Glaciers Law

National deputy Máximo Kirchner once again criticized the national government, this time through an Instagram post where he spoke out against a potential easing of the Glaciers Law and linked it to the Regime of Incentives for Large Investments (RIGI) amid political discussions about possible changes to environmental regulations. In his message, the Unión por la Patria leader asked: 'Why ease the Glaciers Law?' and immediately linked that possibility to the benefits granted to large investments. 'Why for types who are not going to contribute because the RIGI allows them to take the dollars out in 4 years without leaving anything in Argentina?', he stated, according to statements collected by the Noticias Argentinas agency. Kirchner also sought to distance his position from a personal confrontation with President Javier Milei and emphasized that the opposition rejection is based on the content of the measures. 'We are not opposing because the person who formulates the ideas is called Milei,' he affirmed. 'Because otherwise, we are not going to have a country,' Kirchner stated. Kirchner's statements came in the context of a public discussion on the Glaciers Law, amid versions and proposals in favor of a reform that, according to publications on the subject, would redefine protected areas and enable major changes for extractive activities. 'We oppose these ideas, whether Milei or Magoya formulate them,' he expressed. In closing the post, the lawmaker stated that the discussion goes beyond the political situation and presented it as a strategic debate for the country. 'This has to be understood. This is a discussion of a depth that our country needs to have.'
