In a context marked by political tensions within the Buenos Aires ruling party, Veronica Magario solved not join the provincial Chamber of Deputieseven though he was elected in the elections September 7th. In this way, she will continue to serve as Lieutenant Governor and President of the Provincial Senate.
The decision was announced this Tuesday, hours before the session in which her swearing in as a legislator was to be formalized. Magario reportedly presented a note addressed to the Presidency of the Lower House to resign from the bench he never accepted, This excludes any possibility of later applying for permission to return to the Senate.
The movement is part of the complex internal negotiations that Peronism is going through in Buenos Aires, crossed by the discussion about the line of succession to the provincial executive. At the same time, the Kirchnerism has pushed for an extraordinary session of the Senate to discuss executive-sponsored projects that would lose parliamentary status before the end of the year, as well as to determine the vice-presidents of the upper house.
