Manuel Adorni, presidential spokesperson, at the beginning of the commissions' treatment of the “omnibus law,” assured in a press conference that the market could “take its toll” if the reforms are not approved.
“Rumors about disagreements about the law caused financial dollars to jump from 900 to 1,200, in round numbers. We do our part and we need politics to do its part,” he had commented.
