Buenos Aires Lawmaker Seeks ‘Anti‑Moyano’ Bill Vote to Block City Severance Payouts

The fast‑track proposal would pin severance costs on waste contractors to shield city finances.

Overview

  • Legislator Facundo Del Gaiso will ask to take up his “anti‑Moyano” bill on November 27 during the Budget session.
  • The draft specifies that severance obligations fall solely on SPHU concessionaires and bars non‑paying firms from future city contracts.
  • Del Gaiso cites an estimated US$200 million exposure for roughly 6,000 workers if the public sector covered the payouts.
  • City officials say no indemnities are owed because waste contracts were extended to 2028, while Camioneros is pressing for partial “on account” payments that companies call inviable.
  • Legislative sources report backing from Finance Minister Gustavo Arengo Piragine, and floor treatment would require about 40 votes from multiple blocs.
