the keys to the 3 projects that the government will send to Congress

President Mauricio Macri confirmed that in the short term he will forward several projects to Congress with a new law of public ethics, an updated regulatory framework for the protection of personal data and another for the reform of the National Institute of Statistics and Counts (INDEC)

In this connection, the presentation of the preliminary draft of the Penal Code will be postponed until the end of the year, since the government has not yet determined whether the abortion will decriminalize for women who practice it as for the doctors who perform the intervention.

By participating in the annual meeting of the Argentine Business Association (AEA), where he praised the progress of different laws during his term of office, Macri expressed his wish that "Soon Congress passed the law of extinction of domain good so that we can restore what belongs to everyone. "

The projects that will reach the Act Ativo will arise in the coming days as a result of the work of various agencies, which have open consultations to listen to the positions of various organizations linked to every theme.

Public ethics

The preliminary draft was drafted by the Anti-Corruption Agency and promotes a comprehensive reform of the law that not only reaches government officials and legislators but also trade unions and sectors of the judiciary.

The text prohibits "the appointment in the field of National Public Administration of the spouses, cohabitants or relatives in a straight line or collateral to the second degree " of the president, vice, cabinet chief and ministers.

This prohibition applies to deputies and senators, magistrates of the Judiciary and the Public Prosecution Service, although in these cases the impediment will only be agreed within the same department.

of the legislators is understood that the scope is the congress. There will be one exception for those who have been designated by public tender background.

Items to indicate the "assets and / or funds involved in trusts" in which the declarant participates, in the country or abroad, to identify the trust and its parts "are added as items; and "the legal persons, trusts or any other contractual form of which the declarant proves to be the beneficiary or the ultimate owner."

A classification is also made of the parts of the affidavit that are public and that are "reserved" (accessible to the enforcement authority, the court or the public prosecution service).

This category includes, for example, personal data of the declarant; the precise identification of real estate, furniture and intangible assets; and the number of bank accounts, fixed deadlines or credit cards.

In the chapter relating to the donation system the prohibition on receiving gifts is maintained on occasion or during the performance of functions when these are greater than a "small value". This will be determined by the enforcement authority.

It is therefore prohibited to carry out activities in the field during the performance of the public function: private – in honor or paid form – and the provision of services to those who carry out these activities, on whom they are attributed as officials, regardless of whether they decide

The official is also prevented from directly or indirectly, personally or through third parties – to provide goods, services or works to the authority in which it exercises its authority or to the authorities or entities acting in its jurisdiction, even if it has no attributions on recruitment.
