Congress: the Government insists with the extraordinary ones, but the blocks are unaware of the call

Nobody knows anything about that“, responded minutes later from the legislative block of Freedom Advances. “This negotiation is carried out by the Executive”they assured from the environment of Victoria Villarruelpresident of the Senate, explaining the growing distance with her running mate.

That whole scenario is altered if his insinuations of ally with leaders of the UCR and the PRO in Peronist districts. For this to be possible without primaries, They would have to subdue all the blocks that adhere to them.
