Орси и Оддоне выступят с заключительным обращением к министрам по поводу ограничительного бюджета, но с «согласованным» кабинетом министров.

The limited scope for increasing spending and addressing the government's priority areas was the tone that marked the internal discussion within Yamandú Orsi's administration aimed at shaping the Five-Year Budget over the past few months—in a process that is always long and complex—whose draft and main guidelines will be presented this Thursday morning on the 11th floor of the Executive Tower to the entire cabinet. The scope for increasing spending has already been defined by the Minister of Economy and Finance, Gabriel Oddone, and is part of the daily conversations within the ruling party: USD 140 million. No more than that, despite the fact that many ministers insisted on their need for increased resources, something that tends to happen in every term. To organize the debate and consider all aspirations, Orsi has spent the last few days engaging in personal and direct dialogue with all his secretaries of state, which ended up “aligning the team” in the cabinet, sources in the Presidency told El País, who understand that if at any point there were ministers upset about the budget shortage, the president's ability to solve problems with “pico a pico y redondilla” —joked a member of the government— ended up dispelling any potential inconveniences —at least for now. The aim of this is to introduce “equitable conditions between capital gains that take place in national territory and capital gains that take place abroad.” In line with this, the government will also seek to “protect domestic trade from the Temu effect,” which has been the subject of complaints from domestic businesses. For this reason, the Executive will propose to Parliament that purchases made abroad via the Internet be subject to VAT, according to sources.
