The debate continues today in Congress on the reform package of Javier Milei's government.

Representatives were in session yesterday for almost 12 hours until they agreed to adjourn until noon this Thursday.

The so-called "Omnibus Law" contemplates changes in labor, legal and financial matters and deregulates the areas of health, transportation, communications, among others.

The piece of legislation is fundamental for Milei's plan, which seeks to drastically reduce public spending and state presence in the economy.

To this end, the President also signed a decree to repeal more than 300 laws, the so-called "DNU", which his critics also reject.

For the Casa Rosada this is the way to solve a situation that includes an inflation rate of more than 150% per year, with more than 40% poverty.

Defending the initiative, pro-government lawmaker José Luis Espert affirmed: "the bill is controversial, but only for those who want to protect their privileges".

Part of the so-called "pro-dialogue" opposition wants to support the proposal but there are still differences regarding some chapters of the draft.

One of them is the extraordinary powers requested by the Executive Power and another one is the privatization of public companies.

Among the critics of the "Omnibus Law", Carlos Heller of the Peronist coalition Unión por la Patria spoke yesterday in the Lower House.

For the lawmaker, "the content of this project is contrary to the interests of the Argentine people".

Meanwhile, hundreds demonstrated in front of Parliament against the initiative.

There were some confrontations with the security forces, who fired tear gas.

The police arrested some demonstrators for blocking roads, according to the new "anti-picket protocol" of the Government.

Meanwhile Casa Rosada yesterday urged congresspeople to approve the law, whose real name is "Bases and Starting Points for the Freedom of the Argentine People".

In social networks, the President's Office expressed: "today politics has the opportunity to start reversing the damage it has caused to the Argentine people".

The message highlights that "the National Government has listened to every recommendation and objection".

And expresses that now, "it is the representatives' responsibility to promote the reforms that seek to free the productive forces of our Nation and recover our future".
