The swearing-in of the Senators of the Province of Buenos Aires last Monday brought to light another chapter in the internal affairs of Peronism of Buenos Aires, when the determination of the Vice-Presidents of the Upper House of the Province concerned which sector should occupy the presidencies of the authorities in the Senate, chaired by the Vice-Governor. Veronica Magario. The tension has not abated, quite the opposite, and an orderly exit is not on the menu of options today, at least in the short term.
As he realized InfobaeThe sector of the “Right to the Future” movement is less represented in the Senate of Buenos Aires than its partners within the Peronist bloc. There are five or six – it depends on the position of the senator. Marcelo Feliu– the lawmakers responding to Kicillof. From there, the provincial leader promotes the senator for the sixth term. Ayelen Duran. A lawmaker who left the La Cámpora program when the Buenos Aires Municipal Development Minister did the same, Andres “Cuervo” Larroque. “Ayelén has been Axel’s trusted senator for the past two years. The proposal responds to this. “Not on any other territorial thread or anything like that,” they explain. Durán is one of the senators who, along with others, are part of the “Right to the Future” movement Pedro Borghini, Fernando Coronel, German Lake And Jorge “Pitingo” Paredi and they form the Fuerza Patria bloc.

Meanwhile, Kirchnerism promotes the mayor of José C. Paz, Mario Ishii. The Peronist of the first electoral division is supported by former President Cristina Kirchner. In La Cámpora they propose that the idea of electing him as 1st Vice President be taken up a logic of openness within Peronismdue to his status as mayor; that this place was occupied Luis Vivonawho also corresponded to the interests of the mayors – he is an ally of the municipal leader of Malvinas Argentinas, Leonardo Nardini– and this is also agreed with the Frente Renovador de Sergio Massa. In this inaugural program they also promote the former provincial security minister, Sergio Bernias president of the bank. “They promote Berni because they know that he reacts to them, that he goes into the depths and does not come from La Cámpora. With the argument that they cannot control him, They will distance themselves from everything I do“, they propose from the MDF about the strategy of Kirchnerism to challenge the presidency of the Peronist bloc in the Upper House.
“They promote Durán on their own and leave the mayors out; it is clearly a closure of the governor’s room for maneuver,” they answer from Kirchnerism.
In Axelism They admit they want to keep the vice presidency. and that is behind this dispute the line of succession to the executive branchsince the person who will succeed Magario when he performs interim functions at the head of the governorship is the person holding the 1st Vice Presidency. “It’s obvious that they want to follow Axel’s line of succession“says an MDF manager.

The argument of the succession plan is that the replacement of the lieutenant governor, when she is not in charge of the Senate, will be by whoever holds the first vice presidency. The order consists of Governor, Lieutenant Governor and 1st Vice President of the Senate; in addition to the structure that a 1st Vice President of the Senate has.
In the middle, Magario has not yet been sworn in as a provincial deputya position he achieved because he led the Fuerza Patria list for the third electoral group in the provincial elections on September 7th. The lieutenant governor was not present at the swearing-in of the deputies on December 2nd. The House of Commons called a meeting for December 16thin which various upcoming projects are discussed so that they do not lose their parliamentary status. But Magario is also expected to assume his seat and then automatically seek permission to return to the Senate. A logic that the Minister of Infrastructure used days ago, Gabriel Katopodis, and the mayor of Tres de Febrero, Diego Valenzuela, in the upper house.
If the license of the head of La Matanza is not approved, Who will be in charge of the Senate, ultimately second only to the executive branch?is the current senator Carlos Kikuchifrom the Union and Freedom Bloc; the so-called dialogic libertarians. He is the only vice president still in office; the remaining vice presidents have been filled by senators whose terms of office expired this Wednesday. In the previous government period, Kikuchi held the fifth vice presidency of the Senate.
