The disaffiliation of three deputies from the UCR ended up causing a new escalation of conflict between the party factions.
This Thursday’s decision Ethics Court of the Radical Civic Union (UCR) to disaffiliate from the party three members who continue in the party bloc of deputies Tension intensified among space legislators, who already broke down in three different benches within the lower house.
First of all, the head of the radical bloc, Rodrigo de Loredoconsidered “illegitimate, arbitrary and partial decision of a conduct court that seems more focused on internal matters than on the role it must fulfill. With a bloc divided into Deputies, and with senators and deputies who repeatedly took positions different from their blocs, they selectively seek to punish only some. The small party, closed, bureaucratic, incoherent and with double standards, is of no use to anyone.”.
Hours later, and also through social networks, he replied Fernando Carbajalradical who integrates the bench of Democracy Forever: “There is a divided block, Rodrigo de Loredobecause you you sold the UCR in exchange for positions in the Executive Branch and you became a libertarian. And as shown by Kueider, De Petri and Bullrich, no one becomes an official for free. They receive dollars or charges. “We are going to recover the UCR.” In this context, Carbajal’s statement hints at criticism of the recent appointment of Alejandro Cacace as Undersecretary of Structural Reforms, under the orbit of Frederick Sturzenegger.
The expulsion had repercussions on different radical deputies, including one of the victims, the Tucumán Mariano Campero: “This has to do with the dispute that we have been carrying out against Lousteauwho has made many mistakes by distancing radicalism from a leading role in this historical moment for Argentina.” In dialogue with La Gaceta, he noted that the Court “prefers internal conflict and alliances with Kirchnerism. We, however, We have given the tools to President Milei so that he can carry out an economic plan that seeks to balance public accounts and transform the country“.
Three deputies aligned with the national government were disaffiliated from the UCR
Before the start of the new parliamentary year, which promises redefinitions in the formation of the blocks, the UCR determined the expulsion from the party of deputies Mariano Campero (Tucumán), Martín Arjol (Misiones) and Luis Picat (Córdoba)for having supported the presidential vetoes against the increase in retirement benefits and the university budget. The space did not disaffiliate Mario Cervi (Neuquén) because he abstained in the second mentioned vote.
In the decision of UCR Ethics Courtreleased this week and signed by the electoral judge Maria Servini, It is clarified that “misconduct is not being blamed for having voted outside the bloc or simply for having changed the vote” but rather they consider ““inadmissible to ignore the context in which the reproached behavior took place and the circumstances surrounding the decision to vote in favor of accepting the veto.”.
In this framework, they remember that the sanctioned deputies, like the Corrientes Joseph Tournier (member of the caucus, but without affiliation to radicalism) met with Javier Milei before changing his decision and supporting his veto, which was finally ratified by a third of the lower house. “It was not a surprise act, to which the participants could have been induced, surprised or deceived, but rather a deliberately provocative attitude, knowing the impact that that encounter“, considered the Court of Ethics in its ruling.
Since the legislative recess began, one more radical deputy joined the group of those aligned with the ruling party. It is about Francisco Montiwho participated in a meeting with the group of “libertarian radicals” and the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich. The man from Catamarca himself was in charge of disseminating the meeting on his social networks, with a publication in which he highlighted the “valuable conversation with Patricia Bullrich to take stock of the year and review work schedule for the challenges that come.”
