(DNA). – National media believe that the Casa Rosada is negotiating with governors outside of Peronism and Together for Change, in a seduction operation that has the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos, as the main operator, who in turn will have to deal with territories where they persist the resentments against the government of Javier Milei, although several provinces approve the project and are already outlining the day after.
Among the checks, the ruling party already has all the governors of Together for Change (JxC), a scrum of 10 names who, if no black swan appears, will support the text without significant differences. That platoon has some leaders more convinced than others. Rogelio Frigerio (Entre Ríos), Gustavo Valdés (Corrientes), Alfredo Cornejo (Mendoza) and Jorge Macri (CABA) lead the good harmony with La Libertad Avanza (LLA), as published by Ámbito.
What is the strategy. Convince old allies of the PJ to guarantee the isolation of Unión por la Patria (UP) and ensure the approval of the pocket version omnibus law and those who remained on the other side of the wall and who are defined by their provincialist profile such as Claudio Vidal (Santa Cruz ); Martín Llaryora (Córdoba); Gustavo Sáenz (Salta); Rolando Figueroa (Neuquén); Hugo Passalacqua (Misiones) and Alberto Weretilneck (Río Negro).
Other possible figures are Gerardo Zamora (Santiago del Estero) and Raúl Jalil (Catamarca), both within the Peronist spectrum. Osvaldo Jaldo (Tucumán), meanwhile, negotiates on his own the restitution of the biofuels chapter, but reaffirms his alignment with the Nation.
But, with Milei nothing is predictable. Francos’ difficult task also has to deal with the expressions of the Head of State, who yesterday called the senators who voted for the salary increase in the upper house “rats.” Everyone on the radar to convince and needs them.
Within that bolillero, Llaryora already anticipated that the new project “is voteable” and his deputies are working in harmony with the Government to polish the final text. This Friday, the motley bloc We Make the Federal Coalition, led by Miguel Pichetto and brought together by Córdoba legislators, maintained contacts with the ruling party and allied forces to clear the way for a vote that, according to estimates, would take place at the beginning of May.
In the poroteo, Misiones currently has 4 deputies, all enrolled in the Federal Innovation bloc, which they share with four other legislators from Sáenz from Salta. It also has two of the district’s three senators: Carlos Arce and Sonia Rojas Decut.
Francos met with Vidal from Santa Cruz and Zamora from Santiago. He also participated in the summit of the Central Region, along with Maximiliano Pullaro (Santa Fe), Frigerio and Llaryora.
But, not everything is well. Despite the voluntarism that emerges on the surface, underground there are still challenges. «Francos tells you yes to everything, two or three days pass and Milei changes the ball back to you. Our claims remain,” they indicated from a provincialist administration.
«This is day to day, everything can change and negotiations are being carried out on all fronts. For now, given our complaints, we do not see that anything is changing with the Government,” said the source.
Weretilneck
Reflection of this was the rudeness that Alberto Weretilneck had yesterday with Javier Milei, when he did not attend to receive the President, upon his arrival in Bariloche, to participate in the Llao Llao Forum.
The relationship with the Patagonian block in particular is a critical issue. Although the unity of action of the region would pause during the treatment of the law bases for each province to take a particular position, there is not full compliance in any of the districts.
Santa Cruz, for example, is waiting for the national administration to sign Addendum XII, a document that would allow unblocking the paralysis in the Néstor Kirchner and Jorge Cepernic dams, two fundamental works for provincial development. At the same time, Nación maintains the initiative to privatize Yacimientos Carboniferos Río Turbio (YCRT).
«With YPF they tell us one thing and then the company tells everyone that it is leaving. The same thing happens with YCRT: they tell us one thing and then they give a note to everyone proposing partial privatization,” protested a Patagonian voice.
The situation is not very different in the north. In Salta, Sáenz pushes to reincorporate the tobacco chapter into the recycled bus project. Although the provinces appeal to the Government’s flexibility and believe that the law will be approved, the May sun has not yet fully risen.
