The hours passed and the crucial meeting in the Chamber of Deputies approached, which would ultimately result in the libertarian bloc becoming the first minority in the new lower house. This is the time Eduardo Valdesveteran deputy, leader of the PJ of Buenos Aires and loyal assistant of the Department of San José 1111, where Cristina Kirchner When he served his sentence, he took his cell phone with him. It was about communicating with Raul JalilGovernor of Catamarca, and had already decided by that time that his legislators would leave the Unión por la Patria bloc and, through this move, give a big hand to the government of Catamarca Javier Milei.
Indiscreet sources say that Valdés tried to persuade the governor of Catamarca, although without using the nickname “traitor” with which several Peronists disqualify Jalil. He tried to persuade, but the always affable Catamarca boss was reluctant to change what would become a reality hours later: the resignation of the MPs. Fernanda Avila (former Minister of National Mines) Fernando Monguillot And Sebastian Noblegawhich formed the block I choose Catamarca and they left UP without the desired majority.
“If I fix it, I’m a traitor, if I don’t, the province will be damaged,” the man from Catamarca said in private conversations. Amid the verbal altercation, well-informed sources agree, Jalil raised with Valdés the need for a “change” in the leadership of the Kirchner bloc he led German Martinez. He even suggested that one of his own, Monguillot, could take this place, since Catamarca was the only district where the seal of the Fuerza Patria was introduced last October. The one who then became inflexible was Valdés, former ambassador to the Holy See during the second government of Cristina Kirchner. After the Peronists’ divorce was finalized, Jalil arrived at the Casa Rosada several times during these days, together with the chief of staff, Manuel Adorniand the Minister of the Interior, Diego Santillias the main interlocutor.
They say in the government of Catamarca that efforts are being made to ensure this State mining company Ymad into the hands of the province are “on the right track”, a wink to the governor who took the step and made Kirchnerism more difficult in his fight against the government.
of the soldier Raul Alfonsin in the seventies a soldier of Cristina Kirchner til today, Leopoldo Moreau He experienced well over half a century of political activity. In the Chamber of Deputies, the Kirchner bloc dismissed him with distinction, and at 79, the ever-energetic and often controversial Christian leader is already facing new directions. With one of his daughters, Cecilia MoreauWith the assumption of the legislative staff (she will be vice-president of the Chamber of Deputies from Wednesday), Moreau returns to her first love: journalism, which she practiced in the legendary newspaper La Opinión de in addition to her beginnings on the UCR Coordination Committee Jacobo Timermanamong other things.
Already assured that his target will be a radio station – which has not yet been defined – the people around the almost-ex-MP stand out. “He will continue where he is, but he will certainly continue to be active,” it is said close to Moreau. staunch defender of the former presidentand that in one of its final legislative actions, it approved the leadership of SIDE as a member of the Bicameral Intelligence Oversight Commission in 2023 and 2024.
From a country in the vast Arab world that he visits more and more frequently, Mauricio Macri This week he closely followed the alternatives of the session in the House of Representatives, where his Pro party formed a bloc with Radicalism to retain one of the vice-presidents of the House of Representatives and, in a way, pave the way for a government that does not seem to take this into account too much. “Mauricio had no other choice”said a source who spoke to the former president was distant and “disappointed” in him. Javier Milei and his recent cabinet changes, albeit in line with the general direction of management and willing to collaborate on “things done well.”
Like Milei, the current president of the FIFA Foundation He also did not attend the World Cup draw in Washington, although people close to him said that “it was never the plan” for him to be there, as if to dispel any rumor of an even greater distance between the former president and the current president.
The winter, harsh and sometimes cruel, passed quickly but left its mark on the Casa Rosada press room. He Air conditioning – which dates back to the golden age of Menemism – never worked, despite the vigorous efforts of the house’s master staff, and despite official promises, three ovens that were due to arrive soon never arrived. The Fan heaterbrought by the journalists themselves, became fashionable with the aim of avoiding winter illnesses and continuing to work.
High temperatures occurred and the claim was repeated. Just as the heating didn’t work, the cold doesn’t work either, and the first heat brought bad moods, discomfort and unnecessary stress, considering that there aren’t many offices in Balcarce 50 that lack the vital technical support to withstand the extreme heat.
Journalists have resigned themselves to believing in new promises, departures of officials loyal to the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Mileiwho are now promising a crowd of fans a summer that has everything. “Could it be that they don’t love us?”a pressman with many years in Government House asked himself ironically.
In times of libertarian hegemony, radicals seem to wander aimlessly. The organics spend their time searching for national leadership – the election for president of the National Committee takes place next Friday – while others practice the familiar “every man for himself,” defending their territory or going on the run.
In the middle of the debacle, however, there was a young mayor at the centennial celebration who joined in the celebration. It’s about Leonel ChiarellaMayor of Venado Tuerto, south of Santa Fe, the youngest in the province to accompany the governor Maximiliano Pullaro for years, and who was chosen by the Local Innovation Network (RIL) as one of the thirty innovative community leaders in Latin America.
To celebrate this recognition and in line with the government’s promises to reduce the tax burden, Chiarella proposed a significant reduction in 150 fees and taxes, which he presented this week. Thus, in this productive enclave in the south of Santa Fe, monotributistas will receive a reduction, taxi drivers will no longer pay taxes, rural sectors will experience a reduction in the road network and pensioners will do so every five years instead of having a procedure every year. “If you don’t steal, there’s enough money”says Chiarella with strict pullarist logic to someone who asks about his initiative.
