Overview
- On A Dos Voces (TN), senators Mariano Recalde and Francisco Paoltroni engaged in a heated exchange over the government's labor reform proposal.
- Recalde cited Superintendencia de Riesgos del Trabajo data claiming 21,981 companies closed since President Javier Milei took office and contrasted it with 220,000 firms and four million jobs created between 2003 and 2015.
- Paoltroni rejected those assertions and jabbed, “What companies did you create, the ones linked to Pablo Toviggino?”, while blaming prior policies for harming key productive sectors.
- Railway union chief Omar Maturano said unions were not consulted, announcing a march to Congress followed by a 48‑hour strike once the bill is taken up.
- A tense moment unfolded when Maturano told Paoltroni, “Don’t point at me,” as deputies Oscar Zago, Manuel Quintar and Nicolás del Caño also weighed in and Recalde criticized changes tied to the earlier Ley Bases.
