The three votes of the Independence Bloc were felt in the lack of quorum to discuss the Clean File project.
The fall of the session to discuss the Clean File project that the PRO bloc was pushing in Congress, put the governor of Tucumán, Osvaldo Jaldoas an unexpected ally of former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchnerwho would be one of the most affected if the initiative is approved, by proposing to prohibit a person convicted of corruption in the second instance from running for elections. Strictly speaking, the ruling party did not manage to get some deputies who answer to the provincial leaders Jaldo to sit on their benches, Gustavo Saenz (Jump), Hugo Passalacqua (Missions), Rolando Figueroa (Neuquén) and Alberto Weretilneck (Black River).
The failure of the deputies of the Independence Bloc, made up of Peronists, drew attention Agustin Fernandez, Gladys Medina and Elia Fernández de Mansillabecause they usually accompany the initiatives of the Casa Rosada. The decision not to support this time would be due to the fact that there would be discomfort among the provincial leaders due to some signs that the Government would not have any concern in the approval of the 2025 Budget. It would feel more comfortable with a second consecutive extension, as this would give it discretion in the administration of federal resources. Owner of the pen, the governors would have greater dependence on Balcarce 50.
“It may have seemed like a favor to Cristina Fernández but the underlying issue is different, because in reality There was a commitment from the Casa Rosada to agree on funds for the provinces in the Budgetjust as the governor had announced in public, but that would not be being fulfilled,” an authority from the Tucuman Justicialist Party who answers to Jaldo, in which the local leader is his vice, told Ámbito. In any case, he clarified that it was finished the Peronist intern with the confirmation of the former vice president of the Nation as head of the PJ, in which Jaldo accompanied the Riojan Ricardo Quintela“The usual thing in Peronism is that whoever loses always accompanies, even if this time there was no vote,” reflected this leader. And regarding the possibility that there will be an act by Cristina Fernández in Tucumán before the end of the year, he indicated that “no one was informed” but that “she has the right to be the driver of the PJ.”
This noon, after an event he shared with the mayor of San Miguel de Tucumán, Rossana Chahlathe Peronist national senator Sandra Mendozaclose to her peer and former governor Juan Manzuranticipated in dialogue with the press that a meeting could take place between the president of the PJ and Jaldo in Tucumán. “There will be a prior meeting between Manzur, who is the president of the Tucumán PJ, and Osvaldo Jaldo,” he said. “I think there will be a dialogue and a conversation between them. Cristina does not ask for anything to come and Jaldo should be invited, he is part of the PJ,” he added.
Clinging to dialogue
While the Tucumán ruling party maintains its dialogue profile, despite the chainsaw in federal resources since the Contributions from the National Treasury decreased by 73% compared to 2023 for the provinces, Tucumán received $6,500 million this year, $4,500 in November, by ATNs, figure which Jaldo himself acknowledged in a press conference this week. “The government of Javier Milei today takes Tucumán into account and these are the specific things that some do not understand due to partisan political issues.” “We have three more years to govern and a deep dialogue with the Government,” he concluded. Above this district is Misiones, which leads the ranking with $13,000 million, followed by Entre Ríos, with $6,800 million, according to a report by the consulting firm Politikón Chaco.
According to a source from the Tucumán Government House, Jaldo will continue on the side of the Casa Rosada because “there is a climate in favor of some measures that are being taken and that have the endorsement of society.” The concern for these hours within the Tucumán Executive is “how long will the tailwind last, if signs do not appear in the economy that impact people’s pockets.” The last gesture of the “dialoguist” Jaldo, with the agreement of the Casa Rosada, was the provincialization of the Procrear housing program that the Nation terminated. In Tucumán there are 3,100 homes that are 15% complete, Jaldo lacks the resources to face their completion and their progress will depend on alliances with private financing sources. Provincial resources are not infinite, the governor of Tucuman knows this, which is why he clings to his strategy of remaining on the side of dialogue to access funds that will allow him to run the province without problems.
