When it seemed that the tension between the Government and the bulk of the opposition was close to reaching its peak since December 10, President Alberto Fernández opened a channel of negotiation with the parliamentary leaders of Together for Change and accepted the request to plan a meeting alone, before or after the meeting that you will have at 5:00 p.m. with the rest of the opposition.
Alberto F. defined it at around 1:00 pm with the head of the Chamber of Deputies, Sergio Massa, whom he had instructed to call the opposition blocs to a meeting by videoconference to assess the health situation and post-pandemic reconstruction, and three projects that will be discussed in Congress in the coming days: the moratorium, the sovereign debt under local legislation and the expansion of the current Budget.
Close to the President, they explained that it was decided to accept the Together for Change request, to decompress tensions, after the intense crossfire between the ruling party and the opposition, which was accentuated by the political impact generated by the crime of the former secretary of Cristina Kirchner , Fabián Gutiérrez.
"First the President is going to define if he agrees to give a different treatment to JxC. And then if he can change his agenda," they raised very early from the Quinta de Olivos, where they warn that the main opposition bloc was left in a trap by putting as an essential condition that it be carried out in a separate meeting. "There are no records of an opposition that does not accept the call for government dialogue ," they reasoned. Even this point, as Clarín recounted, was one of the axes of internal discussion among Cambodia legislators.
The Together for Change statement had expressed disagreement because the call had been drawn up for the deputies. "The tenor of the issues understood as the nature of our strength, merit a meeting of our representatives from both houses of the Honorable Congress of the Nation with the National Executive Power which should be agreed upon in advance," he questioned.
Finally, the president decided to prioritize the need to put political dialogue on track.
Massa's management was key. The tiger accelerated the talks with the President and built bridges with the leaders of JxC, who met this morning in a Zoom in which they agreed to attend the meeting, provided that the President accepted their requests.
The deputies who will sit for the videoconference are: Cristian Ritondo and Alvaro González, from the PRO; radicals Mario Negri and Alfredo Cornejo.
Instead, the lilith Maximiliano Ferraro, of the Civic Coalition; He decided not to participate: "Congress is the place to decide the issues to be discussed," they said close to him.
From the Senate, Luis Naidenoff, Martín Lousteau, Humberto Schiavoni, Juan Carlos Romero and Laura Rodríguez Machado will disembark.
