The libertarian deputy Oscar Zagoformer head of the bloc, accepted that the senator Lucila Crexell was awarded and justified the designation at the UNESCO Embassy in Paris prior to the vote on the Bases Law in the Senate.
“There is no corruption, it is part of the agreements and consensus. It was the senator’s turn because she was a senator. “She had been looking for him for a long time,” she said in statements to Splendid 990. To justify it, she used the appointment of the PRO legislator as an example. Fernando Iglesias in one of the committees of the lower house.
“You have Deputy Iglesias who came from another political party and today is the president of the Foreign Relations Commission We bought it? No, they are agreements that are made. He always got along well with the President, but he voted for someone else and today he is there,” he added. And he emphasized: “They are agreements with consensus and not with gifts.”

This project was discussed this Wednesday, June 12, and was approved by a simple majority. Crexell voted for it.
Prior to the treatment of the law, the senator had confirmed her appointment but He denied that it was an exchange for his support: “It isn’t true. It is a negotiation that has been going on for a long time.. I have an agreement with Pablo Cervi, who is my substitute and we were together on the list of senators,” he explained in dialogue with LN+.
And he expanded: “Last year there was a possibility that he could go to an international organization. We were working on it with Patricia Bullrich. When he loses, we are left without the possibility of making that change in management, In April a possibility was taken up and they offered me a place in UNESCO“There was an offer and an acceptance but it has nothing to do with the Base Law,” he assured.
