DNU Reform Question

[Yuyo]

Hey all,

Just saw a headline about the DNU reform bill possibly moving on to the lower house for voting.
I was curious to hear everyone's speculation about it since there have been so many decrees in the last two years.

*IF*, the reform goes through and they raise the burden for executive decrees to take force, would all the prior decrees be nullified? Or would it just open the door for easy legislative nullification by vote?

Wouldn't mind seeing the newer citizenship decree requirement nixed. I feel like they effectively killed the chance of any average immigrant ever making it to voting member of society with the "can't leave for a day" requirement.

Long way out, but fun to speculate.

The idea is to nullify all the decrees made by Milei in one move.

Based on personal experience, permanent residents can (and by law are required to?) vote in provincial, but not in national (presidential) elections, and, although the recent decree made attaining permanent residency more difficult, if I understand correctly, the requirement to stay in the country for two years without leaving only applies to citizenship.

While a "compelling case" can be made that the presidential election is far more important than provincial elections, permanent residency does make it possible for an immigrant to stay out of the country for up to 364 days of the year without losing their permanent residency or their right (if not legal obligation) to participate in provincial elections as a "voting member of society" at a regional level.

If the decree of May 29th (which, as far as I know, is the only "decree" that applies to immigrants since the DNU of 2017) changed this, I have not yet heard or read about it.

It's also worth noting that becoming a permanent resident does not entail staying in the country without leaving for two years, only three prior years of temporary residency, which only requires being in the country for six months of the year, and I don't think that those six months must be uninterrupted.
