On December 9, the new councilor published a detailed text on her official X account in which she spoke about her departure from the libertarian bloc: “For the serial operators, I say to you: I never went anywhere, always hand in hand with our president, our lion. Today I formed the REPUBLICAN FREEDOM ALLIANCE bloc in the Honorable Deliberative Council of La Matanza with one councilor from La Libertad Avanza and two from Pro. This determination is not a reaction to personal differences, but to a reality that is evident in the way teams function and are formed.”
And he added: “In the legislative field, respect, transparency and the freedom to work with the values that everyone represents must prevail.” In recent months it has become clear that it was not possible to fully develop legislative work Driving practices and modes have been imposed that I do not share and that made it difficult to advance projects, proposals and debates that were necessary for our neighbors.”
Gianni explained: “My calling is to work closely with people and with a construction logic that emphasizes concrete solutions rather than internal disputes. The decision to form a separate bloc has a precise goal: first guarantee that the voice of the people of Matanzas who embrace our President’s ideas of freedom is unconditionally developed and with complete freedom, always protecting the interests of the people of Matanzas. “I will continue to support any initiative that improves the quality of life for our neighbors.”
The councilor concluded her message by saying: “Plurality, dialogue and honest work are, for me, inalienable values and this new bloc will allow them to be maintained without restrictions. I thank those who accompany me on this journey and reaffirm my commitment to continue working harder than ever for La Matanza.” Following Javier Milei’s example, I value honesty and the non-negotiable defense of the ideas of freedom. My voice, my projects and my work will be available, without conditions, exclusively to the people of Matanzas.”
