Willing to personally carry out the negotiations for the “law of laws”, Milei will have lunch with Alfredo Cornejo (Mendoza), Gustavo Valdes (Currents), Leandro Zdero (Chaco), Carlos Sadir (Jujuy) and Maximiliano Pullaro (Santa Fe), just as it did days ago with its yellow peers: Rogelio Frigerio (Entre Ríos), Ignacio Torres (Chubut), Jorge Macri (CABA), Claudio Poggi (Saint Louis) and Marcelo Orrego (Saint John).
Previously, the libertarian shared a barbecue with the wayward Peronists Osvaldo Jaldo (Tucumán) and Raul Jalil (Catamarca) and the provincialists Hugo Passalacqua (Missions) and Gustavo Saenz (Salta) to thank the legislative support provided, that allowed the vetoes of the Retirement Mobility and University Financing laws to be shielded.
Javier Milei will receive the governors of the Radical Civic Union
As happened with the PRO governors, this Tuesday will be a lunch and will be attended by the Chief of Staff, Guillermo Francosand the Secretary of the Interior, Lisandro Cataláninstitutionally responsible for the link with the districts. The agenda, they told this medium, will be open, although the Budget will have a central place.
Beyond the better harmony shown in recent weeks, the white beret leaders will attend the meeting with a series of claims similar to those already raised by their colleagues from other teams, without obtaining great results.
Among them, The requests for debts with the pension funds stand out, the need to reactivate and finalize the transfer of the agreed public works and the reduction of various items. Also the fight for the financing of national universities.
Beyond recognizing Milei’s gesture to talk face to face – something that did not happen until weeks ago -, moderation reigned among the leaders. “There is nothing prior and low expectations,” admitted into the orbit of a radical chief before the consultation of Scope. At the same time, they relativized the conclave: “They were Peronists and from the PRO, it was logical that the radicals were next”.
Unlike previous meetings, in this meeting the Federal Reparation Regimeannounced by the Government last Thursday and made official on Friday. It seeks to “clean the slate” in the relationship between the Nation and the provinces, and offers “alternative ways to pay debts” that the State maintains with the districts and vice versa. For example, through the transfer of public lands or other tools.
Although it was read as a wink in the provinces, the governors received the measure with caution, trying to put a magnifying glass on the fine print to avoid surprises in the future. As he told Scopeits genesis occurred during a meeting that the Minister of Economy Luis Caputo kept Raúl Jalil, Gustavo Sáenz and Osvaldo Jaldo in the Palacio de Hacienda in mid-October.
Apart from the claims already mentioned, The provincial leaders once again demanded from the Nation to advance in the sharing of the fuel tax. “Only 10.4% comes to the provinces. The rest goes to the Nation. Therefore, if the pension funds are not going to be paid today and 35% of the fuel tax goes to the Nation, we ask that it go to the coparable mass, as happens with the check tax”, Valdés from Corrientes protested days ago when inaugurating the technical tables of the brand new Litoral Region.
Crisis at the UCR
The lunch will also occur in the midst of the radical bloc crisis in the Chamber of Deputies, which suffered the escape of 13 legislators. Of that platoon, twelve are close to Martín Lousteau, including Facundo Manes, and they formed the “Democracy forever” space, chaired by Mariano Juliano. Mario Barlettafor his part, also broke with the official line and founded the monoblock “Joined”. Added to this scenario were the words of Javier Milei against Raúl Alfonsín in his speech before the Mediterránea Foundation, whom he accused of collaborating in a coup d’état against Fernando de la Rúa.
Beyond the official position of the UCR, which issued a statement critical of the President’s statements, some leaders spoke. Cornejo from Mendoza, for example, was one of them.

“To say that there was a coup in 2001 is decidedly not true. The coup was in ’76 and Alfonsín judged the military junta,” he commented in dialogue with Radio Miter Mendoza. At the same time, he accused Milei of “wanting to change history as Kirchnerism often does” and said that the “discussion about the past bores a good part of Argentines, but that it must be faithful to the truth.”
Valdés from Corrientes expressed himself along the same lines. “I consider that Alfonsín was a democrat, I don’t think he was a coup plotter at all. “These statements have more to do with the character of the President than with what Alfonsín did in his entire life,” he said.
Another event that had the UCR at the center of the scene in recent days was the attack on the Central Committee. According to the images that were released, five people broke into the offices of the head of the party, Martín Lousteau, breaking computers and part of the furniture. The attack generated widespread rejection from the political arc.
