The president, Javier Mileiled a meeting with Senate bloc leaders on Wednesday in Pink HouseThe meeting, which lasted approximately three hours, took place on the eve of a key day in the upper house.
The president continues to approach Congress at a time when the Senate is experiencing tensions over the university financing project, the rejection of the DNU of reserved funds for the SIDE, and the treatment of the project to implement the single paper ballot. The upper house also deals with a topic of special interest to the Executive: the lists of candidates for the Ariel Lijo and Manuel Garcia-Mansilla.
The meeting, which began at 10 a.m. and ended a few minutes before 1 p.m. in the Hall of Scientists, was also attended by the head of the Senate, Victoria Villarruel, the Chief of Staff, Guillermo Francos, the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, and the Deputy Chiefs of Staff of the Interior, Lisandro Catalan, and Executive Cabinet, Jose Rolandi.
On behalf of the legislators, they met at the government house Louis Judge (PRO), Juan Carlos Romero, Ezequiel Atauche (LLA), Eduardo Vischi (UCR), Carlos Camau Espinola (PJ), Edgardo Kueider (Federal Unit), Beatriz Avila (For Social Justice) and Lucila Crexell (Neuquen Community).
According to this media, the meeting that took place on Wednesday was aimed at presenting the legislative agenda of the ruling party and explaining the fiscal program of the ruling party, in addition to seeking occasional allies in Congress.
However, those attending the event were not the only senators who set foot in Casa Rosada on Wednesday. While the meeting was taking place on the first floor, a member of the Senate entered Bartholomew Abdalawho headed towards Eduardo “Lule” Menem’s office.
While a waiter was marching towards the sector of two milanesas with mashed potatoes and flans with dulce de leche and cream, Abdala said that he was not going to make statements to the accredited press. The meeting takes place after he publicly confessed last week that he has “more than fifteen advisors”, some of them working in San Luis on his intentions to run for governor, but in the halls of Balcarce 50 they hinted that the senator went to receive a slap on the wrist from the libertarian administration.

The Government looks optimistically at Congress while establishing strategic alliances
Sources with an office in Balcarce 50 assured Scope that the Government has the necessary votes to prevent the presidential veto of the pension reform from being overturned this Wednesday in Congress. In this sense, they considered that the radicalism “managed to understand that the measure will detonate the fiscal program if it is applied.”
Along the same lines, officials in direct dialogue with the President explained, regarding the approach to radicalism, that “There is a sector that is more friendly to the government and that understands that it wants to be more and more so in view of the 2025 elections.”. Regarding whether this is not a problem for La Libertad Avanza, the same sources indicated that in the ruling party “there is no qualms about partisan issues, anyone who wants to join is welcome.”
“Accompanying the President is an asset for them, they go out and sell it later”they said in Casa Rosada about the parade of legislators that paraded through Casa Rosada this week.
