Time, or its absence, will be the key for the national government to avoid “contempt” for not complying with the recent ruling of the Supreme Court of Justice that obliges it to return part of the co-participation funds to the City of Buenos Aires . He will appeal arguing that, since there is already a Budget law issued by the National Congress, where the resources for 2023 were set, and because the new year is just around the corner, there is no longer room to modify that distribution. and that, therefore, the ruling is “impossible to comply.”
The presentation of the Government will be made through an “in extremis” revocation, a Praetorian challenge that is used in Justice for exceptional cases, that is, material errors and even essential, gross and obvious errors, which produce a serious injustice, and that must be articulated by the interested party.
As reported, the argumentation of the presentation will be focused on the interpretation of laws 23,982 and 11,672 in which, as they understand, it is contemplated that the sentences on payments with public funds must be contemplated by Congress and provided for in the National Budget.
In addition, according to sources close to the President, “in the event that the Budget corresponding to the financial year in which the conviction must be dealt with lacks sufficient budgetary credit to satisfy it, the Executive Power must make the necessary provisions in order to include it in the financial year.” Next”.
At these times, everything is tense in the inner circle of Alberto Fernández, who is working against the clock on this replacement, which has an expiration date, while, based on legal deadlines, the Government has three business days to make the presentation.
If it is taken into account that the notification to return part of the co-participation to the Buenos Aires administration arrived last Wednesday, and taking into account last Friday’s holiday, the limit would be in the first two hours of tomorrow’s courts.
The Government’s idea is to buy a little more time and, in this way, be able to “justify the political decision not to increase the funds transferred to Rodríguez Larreta” avoiding being in contempt, which would unleash a serious institutional crisis.
It also transpired that the national government will challenge the four members of the Supreme Court for understanding that they have a marked “favoritism” over the City of Buenos Aires and, therefore, for their “marked opposition stance.” From La Rosada, they assure that they are not “judicial rulings but political ones.”
Last Wednesday the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation ordered the National Government to pay the City of Buenos Aires (CABA) 2.95 percent of the mass of co-participating taxes.
The head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, said that in case of recovering the resources that had been taken from CABA, he would reduce taxes. There was talk of 1.2 percent of stamps on credit cards issued in the City of Buenos Aires; and to reduce the tax on Gross Income that is charged to banks for the interest of the Leliq.
