Vice Governor Pedro Pesatti justified the recent vote of national senator Mónica Silva during the treatment of the Bases Law in the upper house of the National Congress.
He said that his actions “are governed by the permanent need to “to seek the best for Río Negro in a national parliament where our political force is absolutely a minority.”
The Viedmense, one of the leaders of Together We Are Río Negro, recalled that «When Weretilneck was a senator he received many questions from those who today align themselves with Milei from Together for Change for adopting, in some votes, positions close to the ruling party of that time.
He added that “the same thing happens now, but in reverse” and stressed that «The concrete thing is that neither before nor now do we change our logic: “We were born to defend the interests of Río Negro and at this moment we are seeking for our province to become the most important export gateway in Vaca Muerta in a project that organizes all our political action.”
In this framework, Pesatti highlighted the integration process with Neuquén and the energy profile of northern Patagonia that “organize the action of the provincial government” because that represents «growth, employment and activities that today register the best salaries and income levels».
“We are totally refractory to the philo-fascist extreme right that Milei’s government represents.”
Pedro Pesatti, vice-governor of Río Negro.
He said that “we seek, with the government of Rolando Figueroa (governor of Neuquén), grow together and definitively transform the reality of northern Patagonia.
Faced with this reality, “the Manichaeism that does so much damage to the country hurts us and that seeks to reduce the development of our political life to a binary game between mileism and kirchnerism “which excludes those who do not have one shirt or the other on.”
Finally, Pesatti stated that “we are totally refractory to the philo-fascist extreme right that Milei’s government represents, “We have nothing in common with denialism, aggressiveness or violence to exercise power.”
But he clarified that “We also do not like that they intend for our political force to be subordinated to the predominant opposition, and much less that they appeal to a language that transforms them into close relatives of Milei.
According to him, this was demonstrated “in the tone that some have used to criticize Senator Mónica Silva.”
