The deputy of the Frente de Todos Eduardo Valdés highlighted the unanimity with which an opinion was given to a series of projects focused on international issues that were discussed this Tuesday in the Foreign Relations Committee of the Lower House and considered that the accompaniment of both the ruling bloc as the opposition bloc should be read as “a political example, in a very difficult context”.
“I am very proud to have approved all the items on the agenda with this degree of agreement, for which we worked very well with Vice President Soher El Sukaria,” Valdés remarked, referring to the PRO deputy for the province of Córdoba.
The legislator of the ruling party valued the agreement reached between his FdT peers with the members of the Together for Change interblock and other party spaces to give an opinion on “agreements that guarantee rights”, among them “the collection of the alimony when the obligated parent is outside the country”.
And he added that an opinion was also granted to the project to give constitutional status to the Inter-American Convention for the Protection of the Human Rights of Older Persons, adopted by the OAS in June 2015 and approved in the Argentine Congress through Law 27,360 of 2017.
“At this political moment, having given a unanimous opinion to these twelve projects, some of the extension of rights, others of guarantee of rights, is a demonstration of wanting to find a path other than that of division and crack. This happened today in the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Chamber of Deputies,” said the legislator in statements to Télam and through a statement.
In addition, Valdés reported that there was one step to approve an Agreement for the elimination of the collection of Roaming charges international to the end users of Mercosur, an agreement concluded in 2019.
The Agreement to eliminate Roaming expenses within Mercosur “seeks to establish the guidelines for international roaming service among telecommunications providers that provide mobile telephony, messaging and mobile data services in the states that are part of Mercosur.”
Other projects that achieved the signature were the recognition for the 40 years of the Christian Alliance of the Churches evangelical, extradition treaties with Romania, Brazil and the Czech Republic, air transport agreements between Argentina and the Netherlands and Portugal, and a project of interest to the Korean community in the country and its gastronomy.
Valdés, deputy of the FdT for CABA, chairs the Foreign Relations Commission of the Lower House; next to him El Sukaria, from Together for Change, is the 1st vice president.
