The Chief of Staff, Guillermo Francosraised the possibility of agreeing with Unión por la Patria to eliminate the elections Primary, Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory (PASO)one of the priorities of the Executive, and asked to discuss the Clean Record, the Reiteration Law and the trials due to absence within the framework of the extraordinary sessions.
“On the issue of elimination of PASSED There could be an agreement not only with the most friendly blocs, but also with the strongest opposition, with the Union for the Homeland bloc,” he said in statements to Radio Rivadavia prior to the meeting with heads of allied blocs of the Chamber of Deputies.
For the official PASSED They involve “a lot of expense, little result,” and he estimated that they cost around 150 million dollars.
“One should ask oneself, with so many needs in Argentina, is it reasonable to spend 150 million dollars to solve a problem for politicians or political parties that are not capable of resolving the candidacies themselves?” he asked.
After the start of the extraordinary sessions, Francos stated that in the first exchange, which will take place at 3:00 p.m. with his legislative partners, he seeks to “analyze how each of the blocks is doing in dealing with the issues.”
“See if there are agreements to deal with them, which ones we have and possibilities of a majority and which ones we don’t. We are a very marked parliamentary minority as a political space, which is why we need agreements with the blocs as we have done to pass important laws, particularly the Base Laws,” he explained.
The exchange will be attended Cristian Ritondo (PRO), Rodrigo De Loredo (UCR) and Oscar Zago (MID). Deputy Miguel Ángel Pichetto (Federal Meeting) declined the invitation to Casa Rosada, who requested that the debate take place in Congress.
“I have already spoken with some senators to see how we are doing. It is a very particular period because there are many who are on vacation, abroad, others in their provinces, so we have to try to organize, but next week we will begin to talk more directly with the blocks of senators as well,” he noted.
For Guillermo Francos, Javier Milei “has become a world leader”
In another passage of the interview for the Esta Mañana program, the Chief of Staff highlighted the presence of President Javier Milei at the inauguration of the American Donald Trump, and assured that the libertarian president, who will speak in the next few hours at the Davos Forum, “has become a world leader.”
“President Milei has become a world leader, so last year has been the year of Argentina’s positioning in the world and from there we hope to begin to have a year that benefits all Argentines,” he stressed.
Finally, he revealed that Milei reports minute by minute and the repercussions of his visit to the United States and his future time in Switzerland through the chat shared with all members of the Cabinet, and he stressed that Argentina “has positioned itself internationally with the President Milei in a very important place.
