“The relationship within the bloc had become unsustainable and I can tell you this personally, I have no problem with Francisco“, explained the legislator in dialogue with Radio Rivadavia.
In this regard, he explained: “We did not agree on some issues, but above all in how things were being handled in terms of communication. When one enters a block, agree on things and if they are not fulfilled, things start to get difficult”.
In this regard, he stated that there were “some statements” that were not liked by the leadership of La Libertad Avanza and that was one of the triggers that led to the request for Paoltroni’s expulsion from the Senate bloc.
“We are pleased to address you in our capacity as members of the block of senators of the Libertad Avanza Avanza in order to request the expulsion of our block of the National Senator Francisco Manuel Paoltroni by virtue of irreconcilable differences“, they expressed in the request submitted to Vice President Victoria Villarruel. The document was signed by four of the six members of the blockalthough the other two would also have agreed to the text via email.
However, this morning Villarruel announced that she would reject the request of four senators from the LLA bloc as “inappropriate”.
Paoltroni assured that he will form his own coalition called “Freedom, Work and Progress” anyway.
Why they asked for the expulsion of Francisco Paoltroni from La Libertad Avanza
As expressed by the libertarian bloc, there were “irreconcilable differences” with the Senator. In recent days, he had spoken out against the judge’s candidacy. Ariel Lijo to the Supreme Court and had also announced that he would vote against the Decree that grants 100 billion pesos to the SIDEThese statements generated discontent within the ruling party, which finally decided to remove him from the bloc.
Paoltroni Not only did he oppose Lijo’s nomination from the start, but he also publicly declared that he would do everything possible to prevent his appointment. President You have the opportunity to withdraw the document and honor his word and his commitment to all good Argentines who voted for change”Paoltroni declared on the TN channel.
On the other hand, he launched: “How is it that there is no money for retirees, but there is for the SIDE? How do I look at an old man in Formosa? If I go to the bakery, an old man grabs me and says: ‘Francisco, are we going to get a raise?’ I tell him: ‘No, there is no money, but for Santiago Caputo there are 100 billion pesos to manage at his discretion and without giving explanations’“, he questioned and confirmed that he will vote against the project: “I will be against it, from start to finish. It is consistent with the ideas, with what we came to do.”
