A deputy for Santa Fe resigned from the Unión por la Patria bloc

It is not the first fracture suffered by the main opposition bloc to the government of Javier Milei. Previously, three deputies who respond to the governor of Tucumán, Osvaldo Jaldoformed their own bench – under the name of Independence – at the beginning of the year, in the middle of the debate on the Base Law.

A deputy from Unión por la Patria resigned from the bloc

Mirabella confirmed her decision this Thursday morning. The Santa Fe deputy shared an extensive defense on his social networks to justify his decision. “A few hours ago I sent the president of the Block of Deputies of UxP, Germán Martínez, my resignation from the block and the notification of the creation of a new parliamentary bloc in the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation, called ‘LET’S DEFEND SANTA FE,'” the legislator confirmed.

One of the main reasons behind Mirabella’s decision refers, as detailed, to the difference in the party’s approach with respect to the provincial needs that the legislator envisions. “I am from Santa Fe and a Peronist“The deputy assured but then clarified:”But before being a Peronist, I am from Santa Fe“.

In this sense, Mirabella criticized the position of Unión por la Patria – which he claims focuses only on the suburbs and the Buenos Aires district – and maintained: “I am opposed to Milei looking at my province and not at the National PJ. The differences in priorities and visions with my current Block have reached a point where I feel that, if I continue within it, I would not fulfill the mandate that the people of Santa Fe gave me, which is the defense of Santa Fe.”

“I am not a spokesperson for Buenos Aires in Santa Fe. I am a spokesperson for Santa Fe in the National Congress. Today we Santa Fe residents are having a bad time. The end of the month is not made, unemployment grows and the reactivation does not arrive. So far this year they closed around 1,300 companies and 22,000 jobs were lost. Universities and the scientific sector are defunded and public investment is absolutely paralyzed. The Milei government is responsible, but there is also a very large share of responsibility of Peronism that needs to make a great self-criticism,” Mirabella analyzed.

Finally, the deputy confirmed the decision to put together a “Santa Fe and Justicialist, opposition to Milei” monobloc under the name of Defendamos Santa Fe. With this departure, The Union for the Homeland bloc is made up of 98 legislators.
