The deputy of the Integration and Development Movement Oscar Zago This Saturday he dismissed the opposition’s criticism of the senator’s possible appointment Lucila Crexell as a UNESCO ambassador, and maintained that the leader “I had been looking for him for a long time” and that it is about “Agreements with consensus are not gifts”.
“Not for me, in this case, there is no corruption”he remarked in radio statements and in this way, the former president of the La Libertad Avanza bloc rejected the complaints of the opposition, that they had offered him that designation in exchange for a favorable vote for the Bases Law.
“You agree, you arrange, each governor wants to bring water for his mill. In addition, you have to cover places and positions. There is always a question of benefits for the governorates. The senator had been looking for him for a long time. “They are agreements with consensus, they are not gifts,” said Zago.
On the other hand, the now developmental deputy gave his point of view on the extensive process of approval of the Bases Law, which still must be ratified by the Chamber of Deputies after the changes in the Senate.
“The Government has been looking for the Law since January. Maybe it shouldn’t have been presented with so many articles. We are convinced that these are necessary reforms. “Perhaps the opposition found it difficult how we presented such a large package of laws,” assessed the leader, who after some internal differences created his own bloc, although he continues to identify himself as a member of the ruling party.
“Someone from the Executive who sits in the Upper and Lower House is always key for this to be achieved. A Law without the official in constant consultation is very difficult”Zago continued.
Regarding his comings and goings with La Libertad Avanza, he stated that “no one bothers me. I am a founding part, if I don’t like it I’ll leave.” He highlighted that “In 2014 I left Juntos. I couldn’t achieve the goal of a general and large interblock. There are no friendly blocks here, we all sit down to discuss” and that “the decisions are made by me” and that is why “I took a step aside.”
Asked about the vice president Victoria Villaruelconsidered in radio statements that “I don’t think he has his own cabinetI have never met in these six months, but I don’t think that’s the case, he is working very cautiously, with enormous responsibility.” And in closing, he referred to his relationship with the President: “I sent two or three phone messages with Milei, he’s not angry with me”.
