The self-call is scheduled for Thursday. Peronism needs two-thirds of the votes to remove the man from Entre Ríos for “moral inability.” UP seeks to expose La Libertad Avanza.
Union for the Homeland (UP) This Friday he will present a request for a session in the Senate for next Thursday to push the expulsion of the body of Entre Ríos native Edgardo Kueider for “moral inability.” The senator is under house arrest in Paraguay (as is his secretary Iara Guinsel Costa), accused of attempted smuggling after being detained at the border with more than US$200,000 undeclared.
The senator who entered the Upper House for the Frente de Todos ballot in 2019 although he later distanced himself from Peronism and was a constant ally of La Libertad Avanza (LLA) Throughout this year, he requested leave from his position. With which, the ruling party effectively lost a vote for the extraordinary sessions. But UP now seeks Kueider’s dismissalsince if his departure occurs he would be replaced by Stefania Cora, a member of La Cámpora de Entre Ríos. That is, the Peronist interbloc would have more will to reach the 34 seats, three of its own quorum, which it could reach with allies.
“We are going to request a session to expel Kueider from the force next time,” they confirmed to Ámbito. from the block in the Senate. The order will enter this Friday. They indicated that the end of the ordinary sessions would not be a stumbling block, since it is an internal matter of the body. The self-convocation of the body will then require a two-thirds majority to finalize the expulsion. In Peronism they do not know if they will reach the number, but they will try to confront the ruling party. “We want to see who supports him. He is imprisoned in Paraguay, they arrested him red-handedit’s like López’s bags”They told Ámbito from the UP trench.
The Senate regulations have gray areas in this regard, but the PJ interprets that if the majority is obtained it could advance. Other Peronist senators were not aware of the request for a session and expressed that what is moving forward is the resolution request which entered two days ago, and which should be discussed in the Constitutional Affairs Commission chaired by Kueider himself. Although, on her leave, her place could be taken by the vice president of the commission, Senator Sandra Mendoza from Tucumán (Union for the Homeland).
Meanwhile, from the presidency of the chamber they mentioned to this medium: “Peronism is going to try it because it is politically convenient for them, they could cast a vote, but we do not believe they will be successful”said Victoria Villarruel’s collaborators.
In the end of not getting the removal, the play will allow UP to expose Freedom Advancesafter the crossings between both spaces, ignoring the political belonging of the senator detained in Paraguay. For the ruling party, “it is a problem of Kirchnerism” as Javier Milei himself pointed out, with an order to post the 2019 ballot on networks, where Kueider shares a list with Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner. The latter, like the Peronist leadership, emphasized the votes aligned with the Government made by the Entre Ríos, including the Bases law. They even slipped that the money seized on the border between Ciudad del Este and Foz de Iguazú would correspond to alleged bribes for unrestricted support for the LLA.
