to Daniel “Altano” Angelesi Only the legislative branch remained to control the city’s three levels of jurisdiction. in May Jorge Macri He asked him to help him, after the electoral defeat, in rearranging the policy of the Buenos Aires government so that he could concentrate fully on administration.
Angelisi was the key: he was able to mediate the relationship between the mayor and his cousin, Mauricio Macri; He engaged himself in almost every field with the help of one of his most trusted men, a Buenos Aires lawyer and president of the city’s UCR, martin ocampo, He also suggested the names of officials to review various sensitive areas. Among them are urban development, public spaces and security, in the shopping area in particular. Yellow was added to this redesign Ezequiel Sabor and Ezekiel Jarvisfrom pure PRO, to politics; While the Prime Minister empowered the Chief of Staff in an unprecedented way, Gabriel Sanchez Zini.
However, Jorge Macri decided that it was time for the “Tanos” to also take control of the Buenos Aires legislature. He already controls the city’s justice with Al-Biruni Juan Manuel Olmos. In this sense, last week the former president of Boca asked the senator from Buenos Aires from PRO, Christian Gribaudo, Whoever leaves his seat on December 10 will assume the position of Administrative Secretary of the Legislature in Buenos Aires. This is a strategic position: he is the one who manages the resources of the House.
Authoritarians don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is an essential pillar of democracy. This is why it bothers those who believe they are the bearers of the truth.
From the outside, Ocampo, who has already been a legislator in Buenos Aires on multiple occasions and knows the corridors of Peru 160, will be a kind of outside controller.
The only debate remaining was who would fill the First Vice-President, which is the position of presiding over the sessions (in the absence of the Vice-President). Clara Muzio) and who is part of the institutional succession. The PRO legislator unexpectedly appeared at that place, Jimena VillafruelaWho has two assets and one responsibility.
Among her assets in the legislature, she is known to be very hardworking and also knowledgeable of the parliamentary corridors: before becoming a deputy she was the Director of Human Resources in the Parliament of Buenos Aires. The second principle: proximity to the Minister of Justice. Francisco Quintana (Former Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Council), an Anglesey man and historic yellow leader since his youth. The greatest responsibility that appears on a representative’s CV is the lack of experience in a sensitive position and in leading a complex parliamentary body.
In parallel, Silvia Lospinato She managed to be selected by Jorge Macri To head the ruling bloc Let’s go togetherwhich also incorporates “Lilito” Facundo del Gaisowho was preferred in that place Dario “Daro” Nietothe outgoing bloc president and former private secretary of Mauricio Macri.
Lospinato is a student of the parliamentary system and was elected in May after a 16% defeat from the Professional Party. But when he negotiated his candidacy, he requested the position of first vice president, and due to widespread resistance from the opposition blocs, this was ruled out. He insisted on heading the small yellow seat and accepted the Prime Minister’s seat.
The problem will be beyond this topic: whether among the liberals, especially the “President of Buenos Aires.” pilar ramirez, He hates it after the city campaign at the beginning of the year.
Something similar happens, or even worse Horacio Rodriguez Larretaformer senator Guadalupe Tagliaferri And the re-elected legislator Emanuele Ferrario: Lospinato played with all of them between 2022 and 2023 and when she was re-elected she forgot to follow the link. They don’t forget.
Thus, Angelisi trusted his own authority as well as that of his lieutenants to be able to pass laws to the city’s executive branch, regardless of Lospinato’s connections.
