Jalil, Jaldo, Passalacqua and Sáenz will be received in Olivos by the President, Karina Milei and Guillermo Francos. The man from Tucuman distances himself from the former president and put a trusted man on Quintela’s list.
The four governors who were invited by President Javier Milei to Olivos to share a barbecue, at 8:30 p.m., confirmed their attendance and the Casa Rosada reinforces the seduction operation towards the leaders who offered the ruling party the key votes in Congress for the confirmation of the vetoes to the leyes of retirement mobility, university financing and, before, the Bases Law. Since Friday, they accepted the conclave Raúl Jalil (Catamarca), Osvaldo Jaldo (Tucumán), Gustavo Sáenz (Salta) and Hugo Passalacqua (Misiones)which also made noise in the national internal Peronism.
The imminence of treatment in the Budget 2025 and the analysis of projects to limit the DNU, with which the Government has so far adopted important decisions, accelerated the realization of an idea that would have emerged from last week’s meeting of the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputowith Jalil, Jaldo and Sáenz, whose photo was revealed, but not the official content of the meeting. A source close to a president told Ámbito that the three agreed that “concrete responses with funds for the provinces are urgently needed because the lack of them is beginning to generate internal questions, after successive support for the Government with almost no responses, despite the commitments “.
At today’s meeting, Milei will be accompanied by Karina Miel, general secretary of the Presidency; he Chief of Staff Guillermo Francoswith whom the four provincial chiefs maintain good dialogue and the Tucumán Lisandro Catalán, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Nationwho is designated as the head of the list of candidates for Tucuman national deputies for the 2025 legislative elections, by La Libertad Avanza. Early in the afternoon the governors will be in the Federal Capital. While Sáenz and Passalacqua travel on their own, Jalil arrived on a private flight from the Catamarca government to Tucumánaround 10, to join Jaldo and be in CABA at noon.
Over the weekend there were contacts between two leaders. It is expected that after the President’s thanks for the support given, perhaps for dessert, the menu of complaints will be presented that includes funds for public works, health, public transportation, energy and the debts of the 2023 Fiscal Consensusamong others. In recent weeks, officials from Sáenz, Jaldo and Passalacqua himself claimed that the Nation did not comply with the agreements for works signed with Francos before the approval of the Base Lawwhich has not been modified until now. “The governor does not want to go down in history as a mere payer of salaries, with no margin for anything, so that this does not happen, relevant works must be carried out,” confessed to this medium a leader close to one of the men from the provinces who is tonight he will have dinner with Milei.
The Casa Rosada already has its sights set on next year’s legislative elections, hence the Karina Milei’s tour of the provinces to specify the legal status of the LLA party. One of its objectives is to ensure that in the event that the own lists do not gain deputies, the four dialogue governors can achieve it, with the idea of preserving a space that is functional for their objectives. For example, of the three parliamentarians of the Independence Bloc who answer to Jaldo, Agustín Fernández and Elia Fernández de Mansilla’s mandates expire next year. “Jaldo will do everything possible to consolidate his bloc,” it was noted..
Dissidents
The movement that has the four governors as its protagonists occurs in the midst of the hot internal conflict of the Justicialist Party (PJ) to elect its next president, considering that only the lists that proposed Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Governor Ricardo Quintela (La Rioja) for that position were presented.
For the Peronists Jalil and Jaldo this is a relevant challenge, although also for their partners Sáenz and Passalacqua, due to their closeness to the former presidents Cristina Fernández and Alberto Fernández, and for having supported the candidacy for president of the former Minister of Economy Sergio Massa.
In the last few hours, in an interview with radio Miter, the man from Salta said: “People gave a message that a cycle is over, For me a cycle has ended, within that cycle is Cristina Kirchner“I don’t believe that if you are with a national leader you have to pay homage and due obedience to him all the time. On the contrary, it is good that there are internal ones, it is good for the parties,” he concluded.
On Jaldo’s side, he refrained from making statements but put the president of the official bloc of the Legislature, Roque Álvarez, as a candidate for vice president in the fourth term, in the Quintela’s list. It is not a name to fill in, it is a position taking, since Álvarez was one of his captains when Jaldo faced former governor Juan Manzur in the provincial internal.
Both the governor of Tucumán and Álvarez were always reluctant to act in line with Kirchnerism, except when the provincial chief was former governor José Alperovichsentenced to 16 years in prison for sexual abuse and rape. This weekend it became known that On the former president’s list are the names of Manzur and the national deputy Pablo Yedlinas candidates for regular councilors.
