The future of Open, simultaneous and mandatory primaries (step) Keep in suspense. This Tuesday at 2:00 p.m., in a commission plenary, deputies will begin to discuss the suspension of the passage promoted by the government of Javier Milei. Until now, except the PRO, the left and the MID, the rest of the blocks still do not define its position.
In that context, the bench Union for the Homeland (UP)which could be decisive for the future of the project, resolved in the last hours that it will not sign any opinion and commit to hinder the commission debate. The ruling is complicated to reach the magical number of signatures that are required for the text to be ready to be taken to the enclosure this Thursday, and be approved in the session that the libertarians convened for 12.
The block that leads Germán Martínez He met on Monday after 19 to define his position for the bill that the ruling will try to sanction before March 1. In UP- as in almost all benches- divided postures coexist doors inside. Far away was the possibility that the 98 deputies voted in Tandem with the ruling party the suspension of the electoral instrument created by Néstor Kirchner. For example, the Government knows that there are Peronists willing to accompany Lla, and so the Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos himself in radio statements.
Last night, barely finished the meeting of the block, deputies of Chaco and of La Pampa They expressed their accompaniment to the suspension of the primaries, in tune with the libertarian government. While it is true that the historical position of the Renovating front that Sergio Massa leads Historically he was contrary to the Paso, on Monday night he made it clear that he will align with the majority position. “The strategy of the empiojar block is paved”, One of the deputies who participated in the block meeting told. And the Cámpora that leads Máximo Kirchner? “La Cámpora Banca,” they said to this medium.
What is the strategy of “empiojar her”? Challenge the agenda of the extraordinary that milei enabled and that left the 2025 budget. At the same time, UP will try that on Tuesday it is not signed any opinion so that, in this way, the issue cannot be treated in the session convened for this Thursday at 12 (unless, the debate is on tables, for which a special majority that would not even get by).
Specifically, Libertad Avanza needs that in the Plenary of the Commissions of Constitutional Affairs, Justice and Budget and Finance at least 58 signatures will be harvested. It is that, as it dictates the parliamentary tradition, so that a issue is dispatched in commission, it requires half more one of the total signatures (either in a single opinion or in several). In the case of today’s plenary, a total of 115 signatures are added, hence the magic number of 58.
How many firms do UP gather in total? 46. That is, a more than significant number if you consider that Lla and the PRO (both in favor of the suspension) add up to 34 signatures. If this is added that the rest of the benches have divided positions or even doubt whether or not to advance with the suspension of the passage, the panorama seems to complicate.
“Everyone speculates – those who have doubts, those who do not want to put their faces – what do we do,” said a deputy of Union for the Homeland. In other words, no block is encouraged to show its letters because the result of the suspension of the step, for many, is uncertain. Voting with the government or against the Government is an unknown that crosses the different spaces.
For now, on Monday, the meeting barely culminated, the UP block published on its social networks the following message: “It is inconceivable that Milei wants to advance at full speed with an extraordinary agenda that does not include the debate of the budget. If the libertarians want to advance the same, that they get them alone (with their “friends”) the firms for the opinion and the quorum to meet. “
Bajo, in UP They recognize that at the time of the vote – if the issue will reach the enclosure – more than one Peronist could vote in favor of the Milei project, in pursuit of their own interests. That is why, at least for now, the future of the initiative could only be defined on Thursday at the time of vote.
