Amidst the discomfort that the professional for the recent leaks from Deputies – and in particular for the entry of Gisela Scaglia into the bloc of United Provinces– confirmed the former lieutenant governor of Santa Fe will not leave the yellow party, Despite the internal pressure They are calling for his resignation. And in a chicane to the room that leads Mauricio Macri started: “I would hold the same standards to whoever wears the purple sweatshirt.”
Thus, the representative of Santa Fe recalled the picture that Cristian Ritondo, Diego Santilli and Guillermo Montenegro had presented with the President in La Matanza Javier Milei and part of the Buenos Aires Libertarian leadership during the campaign for the September 7 general elections in Buenos Aires Province. “There are people who dressed up as violets. I say this for those who dared so much that they put on a purple sweatshirt and today believe that they are representatives of Pro,” said Scaglia ironically in dialogue with LN+.
According to the MP, there is ambiguity on the part of the pro-leadership when it comes to supporting leaders within the space close to La Libertad Avanza (LLA) or even forming the executive (in the case of Santilli), and then criticizing their decision to assume the presidency of the United Provinces bloc in the MPs.
Scaglia was targeted shortly after he officially announced that he would join the federal bloc but retain the Pro presidency in his province. His decision sparked a number of questions within the ranks of the Yellow Party, with some even mentioning the possibility of his expulsion. This was the case of the legislature Martin Yezawho directly crossed it on social networks.
“If you are from the pros, you take responsibility for the pro block. It’s like saying ‘Yes, I swear,’ a simple task. If you say you are from the professionals, but not only do you not work in the professionals, but you also work against the professionals, you are not from the professionals. It would speak poorly of the professionals if they did not intervene in the provinces whose leaders have left,” attacked the deputy and supporter of Mauricio Macri in a post X
And addressing the former mayor of Pinamar, Scaglia replied: “I work in the pro and build from the pro. It seems to me that our party needs to think about how to grow and not shrink. And if that is the standard that some want to apply, I would ask the same of those wearing the purple sweatshirt.“.
In this way, Scaglia made it clear that she will not quit the Yellow Party and instead defined herself as a “pro-woman” who is a member of the United Provinces.
“Two months ago, the Pro gave all its leaders the opportunity to join different electoral fronts. I went to an electoral front called United Provinces and it was always clear to us that we came to build an alternative in Argentina,” he later explained.
“This alternative does not exist in LLA and we have to build it from another place. I want to do it with the provinces that make it up today. The witch hunt seems a little strange to me in times of democracy,” said Scaglia.
On the other hand, the MP referred to the budget and the Reforms that the government will try to advertise during the period of regular sessions in Congress, claiming that although his province is among those that have known how to build good relations with the Casa Rosada, a “formal” meeting with Santilli has not yet taken place and the channels of dialogue are today limited to calls or messages.
In this regard, Scaglia assured that his bloc would support the minority opinion on the budget that he represented during the regular period, but clarified that the meaning of the vote was still being discussed in the chamber. And in this context he concluded: “What we need to do or discuss are the issues that interest us, such as the pension fund, the debt that the nation has to the provinces and the public works that have to do with the concession of a waterway or the establishment of a national route.”
