Like Real Madrid, the opposition reversed it with 132 votes

The opposition drive to the Single Ballot in Deputies served to shake the tree and tell the government how many apples it had dropped. They weren’t enough and that’s why Sergio Massa made a double call. He was allowed to hide the defeat before 132 votes for the Single Ballot project rallied the opposition.

Together for Change is a cooperative without a unified leadership. It is a virtue to grow, but is a liability when you need to make the legislative machine work. In this round, he got 132 for the “site” to deal with, Single Ticket, adding partners from other blocks. A major test of strength against a Peronism with a first minority.

The “double Massa” (along with its call for another special session) sought to tarnish the winning picture: the opposition owned the ball and began to hold on to the menu of issues as I gathered the quorum. The outbreak of the ruling party showed a lack of unified leadership in a coalition that was usually only legislative.

Of the projects accelerated by Frente de Todos, promoting the cultivation of curative marijuana and promoting money laundering for construction, the opposition voted divided.

The ruling party, which lost by 132 votes of the Single Ballot, sought to show a deserved equality by dispersing the opposition, which between the abstentions and negative votes showed the weakness of the unanimous a command. But it is still enough to return a result and invoice your difference in seats improved to 14-N. He blasted it by three votes above the quorum (132 out of 129) as Real Madrid’s 3 goals in 3 minutes in the semi-final with City.

Between the lines speak loudly

It does not matter that the ruling party passed the quorum exam. The most the important role it gave to minority blocks forming Emilio Monzó (Federal Encounter, of the Together for Change interblock) and Florencio Randazzo (Identity of Buenos Aires, Camaño Driving).

In this struggle between Frente de Todos and Cambiemos Amplified, they found the shortcut to be the hinge for the reopening of Congress, using a project like Single Ticket, which It has adhesions on all parties.

Intelligently, Monzó pushed Sergio’s phones and offered him a session bench with a shared menu. In that framework, Monzó acted as the leader of the opposition, and was shown in the header of the photo that recorded the agreement of that arch. your industry the position of the interblock head is vacant, used by Mario Negri in the previous legislature. The rejection of the De Loredo sector within radicalism left the position vacant, but not the office. This was conducted by Negri in an unofficial manner. But it was loot to get.

Monzó and Massa practice bodybuilding

Monzó’s performance in this episode gave new light to the crisis in the opposition, who could not cope with the meeting last Monday between Gerardo Morales and Enrique Nosiglia. This is a warning to most opposition blocs because of the vacuum this dissident has created with the radicals.

It also reminds the group of the absence created by the challenge of Cristian Ritondo’s name as interbloc president. How could Monzó not try to get to that platform taking advantage of Single Ticket, a project that has been said to pioneer for years? How could Massa not be included in the conversation with Monzó, if so that he further divided the opposition, emphasizing the differences between them?

Monzó is the manager of the Urtubey group, because of the host of that barbecue along with Morales, Juan Schiaretti, Graciela Camaño and others. The popularity of that group needs this fuel to come out doing events that the ruling party or the other blocs cannot afford.. It’s a bodybuilding test that serves everyone.

To undock or not to undock, for whom is it?

Monzó, by the way, is said to be a pioneer of BU along with Randazzo, when they were in the Secretariat for Modernization of Felipe Solá’s government.

This therapy of past lives served him to be the star of the agreement to meet. He offered the long table at the CIPPEC dinner at the Exhibition Center at recruit wills as if he were the coordinator of the opposing blocsalmost try the old suit of the president of the House, in the name of Cambiemos, when he got quorum and votes as a minority, with superiority from this Massa now, which is the majority of a fractured ruling party.

Some representatives of the ruling party, who were at that dinner, promised him a vote, although conditioned on the above bids: I support you, but you know how things are. This reluctance shows other lines, less important: the Single Ballot is the gateway to the debate on the separation of national elections from provincial elections.

This project, if it moves forward, will affect the national election. With that it is enough so that, where they are hooked with the local ones, there are two parallel elections. From there to going on different dates there is only one step. In Buenos Aires, where the BU will be most affected by the number of candidates, it will provide oxygen to those who want to separate election dates and avoid the drag effect. This puts Peronism on alert, with its great tool dragging the vote where it’s strongest: the suburbs of Buenos Aires.

The opposition is also considering whether it is appropriate to unfold

It is understood that the Peronists are unmoved by their religious counterparts from other provinces. They are coming from defeat on November 14 in Buenos Aires and the last thing they need now is to add a set of vulnerabilities. The issue of dates will be at the core of the project debate in committee.

The opposition has the idea of ​​adding a clause imposing the use of the Single Ballot in national and provincial elections when they are held on the same date. That clause already exists in the simultaneity law (15,262), which forces provinces to use the national system when the election is on the same day.

Now it seems to benefit the opposition, but there are already leaders who believe that a consecutive victory is coming and that it may not be appropriate for them to secede, something they have heard may be appropriate, for example, the Peronism of Buenos Aires if the cone of It removes its competitiveness and drags it, in a unified election, to a new defeat.

This debate will be more juicy than the technicality of the system itself, which will enhance what is already good in Argentina, because usually governs who wins the polls, something that doesn’t happen in many countries, such as the United States. Expert Alejandro Tullio said that Nicaragua, which has the lowest position in the ranking of institutional quality, has a Single Ticket, while Uruguay, which tops those rankings, has a blanket ticket.

Casting to expand Let’s change

The opposition of all colors lists, below the radar, their positions. As in the ruling party there are those asking for boats to get out of the coalition and play themselves in 2023 what they have in each territory (governors, mayors), Cambiemos is a casting that grows every day.

Miguel Pichetto tries Republican Peronism gather a block of own senators who he will be with in launching his presidential candidacy on May 13. He spoke with candidates to include it at a lunch Thursday in Juan Carlos Romero’s department.

So far, Lucila Crexell from Neuquén, Gabriela González from Puntana, “Nacho” Torres and Edith Terenzi, from Chubut, have signed up. Pichetto, Ramon Puerta and a new character in that league, businessman Daniel Angelici, attended that lunch.

This leader is Terenzi’s benchmark and he doesn’t want to be left behind in the negotiations. created the Buenos Aires Macri-radicalism. It has an alliance with CABA with the Lousteau-Yacobitti wing and they are further away from Enrique Nosiglia. Torres was an economist who played a role in Buenos Aires politics, where he was part of a list of candidates when he referred to Daniel Amoroso, head of the game union and took a career as a legislator close to Cristian Ritondo. Now they are separated.

2023: Distribute costumes

In those clubs there is a lot of name arbitration. The new is Martín Lousteau’s statement in this newspaper where whitened his fall from a presidential candidacy. Until now, he has kept that project on a pilot basis, but he admitted earlier in private conversations that he would focus on the candidacy for head of government.

At that table of Macri’s friends the alternative names were thrown. Mauricio already has a surname in the city race along with cousin Jorge, minister of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta. They associate phrases with him as a presidential candidate, such as “What matters is not winning, what matters is government”, though he sits in Larreta’s cabinet as if intending to hold the City’s leadership for a few years. , and with success.

There are those who believe that his candidacy as head of government in 2023 will bring comfortable success to the PRO and contribute to national success for Cambiemos. What will the radicals do if Lousteau resigns to national aspirations? Ang Macri’s relationship with Gerardo Morales went through a tense moment after the last summit where the only earner was Milei. They owe coffee that was postponed because of the trip from Mauricio to France, where he returned this Saturday.

Morales takes care of (almost) everything

Morales celebrated the victory over party control and the presidential candidacy with Lousteau’s departure from the fight, which he confirmed after Morales ’meeting with Nosiglia. It was left with debts in its own sector, such as followed by the unification of the blocs of representatives and the validation of the leadership of Mario Negri.

“That’s coming,” Morales said Tuesday night in Cippec. Macri is expected by guests at the table with Mario Vargas Llosa in “Los abrojos”, along with Pichetto and Alfredo Cornejo, who are disputing the presidential race with Morales. But this is an open bracket.

Cornejo was the number one returner to the Mendoza government. Morales had votes to reform his province’s Constitution and compete for a third term, though he told his supporters he would not give in to that temptation. He prefers presidential adventure, however it turns out. If not given to him, he has a shortcut to becoming a senator, because it is Jujuy’s turn to renew that chamber next year.

In case the altars are missing, Everyone will see their faces this Monday in Parque Norte, at Gerardo Bongiovanni’s Fundación Libertad dinner, which will feature three speakers: Vargas Llosa, Macri and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta. And a stellar reappearance, Elisa Carrió.
