Ernesto Sanz, head of the UCR Radical Party, said today that the federal budget will be "widely disputed" next year. He also pointed out the importance of tomorrow's session in which the Bicameral will review DNU emergency decrees.

"Even though next year will be be economically better, the government will defend federal resources, since they are a key element for their politics," he added.

Sanz explained that the government "will protect the reserves", but he assured that the oposition "will fight against this because provinces can't afford to pay wages nor Christmas bonuses."

Therefore, he said he considered tomorrow's meeting to be "a very determining, serious commitment."

"We won't be able to pick a president for the Comission. Voting is divided, it's eight votes for the Kirchner government, and eight votes against it. We'll have to see if the government is able to call extraordinary sessions, if not they will have to be postponed until March, when Congress reopens," he added.

The Bicameral comission will meet tomorrow for the first time ever since the new lawmakers took office, in the Upper House's Illia Room to study the validity of decrees signed by Cristina Kirchner regarding the Bicentennial Fund and partial vetoes to reforms made on the Electoral Law.
