On Friday, Diego Santilli will travel to Santiago del Estero to have lunch with Gerardo Zamora. In some sectors of the ruling party They are quick to write the man from Santiago on the list of post-Kirchner rulers Ready to order their legislators to flee from the Peronist blocs in Congress towards the small regional banks available to them Assist La Libertad Advances in projects that the government considers critical.
This enthusiasm is based on an incident that occurred last month, when Senate President Victoria Villarroel approved a request from Bloc K to run from The bench of the Judicial Council Zamora’s wife, Claudia Ledesma Abdallah, was replaced by Mendoza’s convoy Anabel Fernández Sagasti. The replacement was necessarily scheduled to take place this year, because Ledesma Abdallah is ending her term, but Zamora was surprised by the rush to formalize it, especially since it happened a few weeks before the legislative elections and two months after the new senators were sworn in, one of whom will be the current governor of Santiago. Zamora Maybe he thought the duty manager position belonged to himBut Cristina Kirchner decided otherwise from her imprisonment in San José in 1111.
For Zamora, one way to show this discomfort and keep the Kirchnerian blocs worried is to sit down for a while with Santelli. anyway, It excludes the best-informed government leaders The possibility that Zamora, his seven deputies and three senators (along with himself in the last novel) could end up in separate blocs of Kirchnerism, as Catamarca’s Raúl Jalil was about to do.
This final leap can happen now because the governor has been vindicated, so to speak, House facade. His wife, Silvana Ginocchio, finished her term as deputy. Ginocchio had recently become a convinced Christian who advocated the continuity of the Catamarca people in the Union for the Fatherland bloc. Without her presence in Congress, Jalil will have four representatives to negotiate with Casa Rosada.
The breakup hasn’t happened yet because Javier Maile has not yet ratified the hearing in Catamarca on the actions at the Aguas de Dionisio mine controlled by the national stateWho also serves as president of the company. The ruling party promised Jalil to change the ownership of the gold and silver mine, because in this way the citizen of Catamarca would have control over the project, which was revealed by journalist Hector Gambini in this newspaper. Judicial investigations are piling up for purchasing inputs at inflated prices as well as for selling gold bullion at lower prices than those on the market. Corruption comes and comes back too.
The government hopes to strengthen its blocs so that, after the change that occurred on December 10, it can advance in both chambers with a dual and perhaps very ambitious agenda.
In the representatives will try to give a quick new opinion of Budget 2026 – which was signed a few days ago, will lose its parliamentary status with the inauguration of new representatives and senators – as well as the “financial innocence” project so that people will be encouraged to Take the dollars out of the mattress Without paying fines. The most ambitious in the Cabinet says he can also make progress with Tax reformBut no one in Congress, not even pro-government representatives, saw the project’s message.
In the same period, the government will campaign in the Senate Ice law To encourage mining, in addition to tightening penalties Penal Code and Repair workIt is another project that to this day remains a mystery to Congress.
