Fede Sturzenegger stated that a tweet from Flor Carignano about DNU 70/23 showed, in his opinion, that Kirchnerism was against the benefits that the norm had granted to Argentines. He described it as a force protecting the "elite" and claimed that its proposals would lead to stagnation and poverty. In defending the decree, Sturzenegger said that after the repeal of the Rental Law, four times more apartments were being published and that prices had dropped by more than 30% in real terms. He also stated that, since the DNU, the prices of medications had fallen by 20% in real terms; domestic tickets by 51%; and tourist packages by 40%. He added that in 2025 there were 33 million passengers and that international connections from cities in the interior increased by 70%. Regarding foreign trade, he attributed part of the 63% drop in appliance prices and the 43% drop in textiles to the changes in the decree. He also said that more than 750,000 satellite internet connections allowed access for almost 3 million people in the interior, and that tourism reforms had increased the number of agencies by almost 40% and employment in the sector by more than 10%. Sturzenegger pointed out that some labor and land provisions had been taken to Congress, while others had been challenged in court. He stated that the DNU had removed trade restrictions, reduced paperwork, and allowed contracts in the chosen currency, among other changes. He concluded that the debate about the decree should be kept in mind in the elections of the following year. #DNU70 #Kirchnerismo #Argentina (translated)

Leandro Ruschel stated that Edson Fachin was advocating for a reform of the Judiciary without altering guarantees, but he questioned which guarantees he was referring to. According to Ruschel, in recent years, the Federal Supreme Court had restricted constitutional rights such as free expression, association, and manifestation, in addition to the right to defense, the natural judge, and due process. He said this had occurred especially with people who did not align with what he called the court's leftism. Ruschel also criticized the defense that the reform should be made "with the Judiciary." According to him, it is up to the Legislative to draft laws, while the Judiciary should apply them and assess their compatibility with the Constitution. He added that courts can propose laws regarding their own organization, but the decision falls to Congress, and they cannot present constitutional amendments. For Ruschel, the expression used by Fachin would be a euphemism for the usurpation of Congress's powers. #Judiciário #Reforma #GarantiasCivis (translated)
