Deputy Gustavo Cairo announced that he would leave his place in the interblock The Mendoza Union in the Legislature to head a monobloc Freedom Advances. This was confirmed this Monday after an announcement on networks that he ended up deleting on Friday.
In dialogue with “Day of #6a7” that drives Jorge Fernndez Rojas by Radio Jornada FM 91.9the legislator argued the reasons that led him to make the decision, remembering that in the first place he was one of the founders of the PRO in the province, even before Mauricio Macri became president of the Nation.

“The truth is that in recent times I have felt that the PRO has entered into an internalism in Mendoza that I do not like too much. I also think that the president (Milei) is doing a very good job, apart from the enormous economic difficulties, and “It does not have its strong representation in the Legislature,” said Cairo, who is the first cousin of the Minister of Defense of the Nation, Luis Petri, another point of union with Milei’s management.
Likewise, Cairo highlighted that “currently there are nine PRO deputies in the Legislature and it is half artificially divided, I didn’t like that. I was the president of the PRO until last year and there were 4 on one side, 5 on the other and “We called ourselves Together for Freedom, which was a step from the PRO towards Milei, since the end of last year.”
LLA single-person block
Regarding what your block will be like in the House of Laws, when leaving the La Unión Mendocina interblock, Cairo explained that for the moment he will be “one-man.” “A genuine space for the representation of the national space. Different issues have arisen in the province, especially with the mining issue. Within the coalition there are different positions going to the extremes, it is not that there are grays. Jorge Difonso, with whom I get along very well personally, he is known for his anti-mining stance and has made his mark with Law 7722. And I believe that 7722 is an anchor that Mendoza has, a self-imposed anchor. A commitment to poverty in Mendoza.”
“They are not serious or personal things, but I had found myself different from the rest on some issues and I had the feeling that this was going to happen on many issues from now on, which would harm the interblock itself, I did not want to be the factor of I think the healthiest thing is to have an independent position and coordinate what can be coordinated without problems,” he argued.
In any case, the legislator understands that although there are colleagues who share his ideas, he cannot guarantee that any of them will follow him on this path.
“I made this resolution affecting the others as little as possible, especially the space leader, whom I have enormous respect and affection for Omar De Marchi.. “I didn’t want to have that role of doing harm, quite the opposite,” he said.
About his link with Luis Petriwith whom he is related, the legislator noted that they have a close relationship and that they have already worked together, making one of the first alliances between the PRO and radicalism in San Martín: “I respect him very much as a political leader. I think he is a great leader too.”
The legislator also referred to the existing conflict between two spaces in the province of Mendoza by the brand “Freedom Advances“and noted that people from other jurisdictions will surely intervene: “There are going to be hearings to see who gets the name. On May 9 it will be Dr. Barraza’s turn and on May 14 it will be Lourdes Arrieta’s file. “I understand that people from other jurisdictions are going to come to give their opinion on who has the right to that, the electoral law provides for this.”
In addition, he indicated that he will present a resolution in the coming days to express the support of the Legislature in support of the treatment of the Bases Law.
