“Today we do not feel represented by the senators and deputies, less so after Crexell,” declared the general secretary of ATE Neuquén, Carlos Quintriqueo, who is working on the design of his own political space. He also spoke about the meeting he held with union leaders: “We agreed to continue working, both with Rucci (private oil tankers) and with Levi (Uocra representative) in the future in a meeting of delegates that also allows us to get closer.”
Quintriqueo announced his intention to consolidate a fleet to compete in the legislative elections of 2025. In fact, it is currently gathering endorsements, which is one of the requirements for establishing a party.
«We know that for us to achieve territorial development, throughout the province, is feasible. Yes, we want to comply with everything that justice demands and not have the problems that lThe Freedom deputy advances in Río Negro, right?«, he raised about the scandal involving Lorena Villaverde.
Regarding the meeting with this group of leaders, he stated: “if a joint force comes together tomorrow, it would be the best thing that could happen to us. I don’t rule that out.”
He stressed that the “idea is to be able to get together and begin to address some issues together.” He said that they began to have more “dialogue” especially after supporting the campaign of Sergio Massa president. He maintained that this space seeks to add anyone who finds themselves in “this orphanhood in representation.”
He said that he already held meetings with union and neighborhood leaders, and participated in the anniversary of the Neuquén Popular Movement on June 4, thanks to an invitation from a group of representatives of the provincial party. “Everyone who wants to join is welcome,” he said.
He stated that President Javier Milei “He won because he was fed up, he won because of a fatigue that existed among his colleagues, because we cannot ignore that there are many workers who voted for him.”
As to the alliance sealed by Governor Rolando Figueroa and the mayor of Neuquén, Mariano Gaido, with the purpose of collecting seats in the next Congressional election, Quintriqueo said: «that does not prevent us from being able to build and have a position. In fact, we have a clear position regarding the basic law. We do not have Nadia Márquez (current national representative) as an ally anywhere. That is a point that we have unlike the rest.»
He indicated: “with Libertad Avanza we do not have any type of deal or agreement” that “At least we don’t have a contradiction.”
