After the expulsion of Senator Edgardo Kueider, the PRO took out a release this Thursday where he criticized the Unión por la Patria bloc, which promoted the disciplinary sanction, and differentiated himself from those who accompanied La Libertad Avanza and a good part of the UCR. “There is no agreement with Kirchnerism that passes the slightest republican filter”they accused from the party led by Mauricio Macri.
Although he PRO claims that Kueider should be expelled, insisted that his suspension proposal should have been approved. “The correct procedure was to follow the institutional path of suspension without pay and removal of immunity, requested by Judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado. This procedure, which respects due process,” they stated in a statement from the PRO Executive Board.
In turn, They criticized the Union for the Homeland bloc for promoting the expulsion of the Entre Ríos legislator, but having refused to do something similar with Oscar Parrilli, a senator accused in the Memorandum with Iran case. “It is striking that those who opposed preventing a second-instance convicted person from being a candidate today expel without the minimum due process a senator (Edgardo Kueider) while protecting another (Oscar Parrilli),” they highlighted.
Along these lines, they defended the party’s position in the voting of the block that contributed 4 votes of the 5 against that the initiative had: “In the PRO we are coherent and we respect the rules to avoid judicial challenges. The worst scenario is that an act of corruption remains unpunished for the violation of legal processes”.
The turn of La Libertad Avanza that isolated the PRO
Although from the beginning Union for the Homeland (UP), along with sectors of the Radical Civic Union (UCR), intended to expel the Entre Ríos native from Congressanother alternative project, which had the support of the PRO and LLA, proposed the suspension of the senator. Finally, the violets supported the majority initiative.
After a fourth intermission, in which the block leaders debated the last details before the vote, the head of the libertarian caucus, Ezequiel Atauchesaid: “We intended to suspend Senator Kueider; you need two-thirds for that and we couldn’t get them.”
It should be remembered that, initially, LLA intended to keep Kueider on its benchsince, in the debate over the Bases law, he had become one of the main allies of the Casa Rosada in the Upper House, a space where Peronism predominates and initiatives are fought vote by vote.
In this framework, the PRO’s decision to provide a quorum, even knowing that this hit the ruling party, was read as a new chapter in the fight between Mauricio Macri and Javier Milei, a battle that takes place in various areas.
