After midnight, when the Chamber of Deputies was voting on each article of the new retirement mobility formula that was finally approved, the head of the block of deputies of the We Make Federal Coalition, Miguel Ángel Pichetto, raised the possibility of remove article 11 from the project, alluding to the privilege retirements. The request generated a extensive debate and although it was not removed from the norm, it was rejected in particular by 111 votes against.
“I am going to ask for the deletion of article 11, they are turning the issue around and no one is saying it. This determines the abolition of the retirement or pension of presidents“It is prohibited, it is limited that presidents from now on do not have any benefits from the State,” said the legislator.
In a strong questioning of the idea expressed in that point of the initiative, he considered that “the one who designed this, the one who thought this has a very perverse vision of antipolitics, he believes that politics is for criminal drug traffickers, people who have no interest in defending Argentina and thinks that the president, when his term ends, has to go ask for work in a factory.”
“That’s what I think in your stupid head. Therefore, We ask that it be deleted: Let’s not break that principle that recognizes a right in the figure of the president,” he added.
In that sense, he noted that the proposed proposal is focused on those who do not have it because “no one can get retirement.” “This goes for those who are in exercise,” he emphasized.
After the words of the former head of the General Auditor’s Office of La Nación (AGN) and after the president of the Pro bloc, Cristian Ritondoannounced that the article in question would be the only one that its space was going to accompany, the head of the Radical Civic Union (UCR) bench also issued a statement on this matter. Rodrigo De Loredo. The man from Córdoba referred especially to the case of former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to give her argument.
“The design of a country cannot escape contextualities. And it is irritating that at one of the economic stages a former president receives a remuneration of over 9 million. It is a request that Unión por la Patria has requested, but I regret to inform the bloc that we cannot support the only suggestion they made,” she stated.
This was the only point on which radicalism, the Pro and the libertarians agreed. In that context, De Loredo allowed himself a chicanery to his peers from the different sectors with which he coincided.
“Welcome president – he told Martín Menem -, Welcome to the friends of the PRO who return to the path of the projects that they previously accompanied and that now hide their hand. And I congratulate, President, the reporting members of La Libertad Avanza who have argued with passion, solvency and technicality the position of LLA. I predict that in a short time they will no longer need the Pro to base their projects,” he analyzed.
