Alejandro Alvarez stated that a law passed assigned funds outside of the Financial Administration Law and that, therefore, Article 5 of the Budget Execution Law 24.629 should be applied. He explained that this regulation establishes that laws authorizing expenditures must expressly indicate how they will be financed; otherwise, their execution remains suspended until the allocations are incorporated into the national budget. He also noted that the regulation requires budgetary backing for certain contracts and provides for asset liability for officials who authorize acts or contracts contrary to Law 24.156. Alvarez asserted that, in his opinion, this was how the Republic was protected: by studying and complying with all laws. #Ley #Presupuesto #Gobierno (translated)
