President Javier Milei's party has exposed its first fractures in the Argentine Congress. Oscar Zago, forcibly displaced from the presidency of the ruling bloc in Deputies, threatens to form his own group.
Zago had the consensus and approval of Milei to appoint a representative from the bloc, journalist Marcela Pagano, as president of the commission. The disagreements began after the failure of the great state scrapping law promoted by Milei, which ended up running aground without the necessary votes at the beginning of February. The break-up complicates the Government party while Milei returns for revenge for his reforms in Congress, writes Ruben Navarrette, a former deputy from former President Mauricio Macri's party who returned to Congress to lead the bloc of deputies loyal to Milei. He says Zago will not have more than a couple left, and the bloc will still respond to the libertarian majority, but the breakup complicated the government party while he returned for revenge.
