In another chapter of the growing tension between the ruling party and Together for Change, deputies from the opposition coalition announced that they will go to Congress this Tuesday to be present at the session that Sergio Massa convened with mixed methodology , that is, most of virtual way.

The blocks of the UCR, the PRO and the Civic Coalition launched the challenge with the aim of preventing the progress of controversial projects promoted by the Government, especially the judicial reform already approved in the Senate. The conflict had been raised with the expiration of the protocol to meet remotely.

Together for Change, he refused to extend it for another month, and proposed to do it for a shorter time and agreed agendas. It was a way of abroquelala against the reform but also by other initiatives such as the contribution of great fortunes, the investigative commission of Vicentin and the impeachment of the attorney Eduardo Casal.

The strategy of the ruling party was to advance with issues without conflict, to leave the opponents in an uncomfortable situation . Massa convened for this Tuesday to discuss assistance to the tourism sector and the increase in sanctions for illegal fishing in the Argentine sea, in a mixed session requested by the space led by Máximo Kirchner and the two federal interblocks.

Mario Negri, Cristian Ritondo and Maximiliano Ferraro redoubled the bet : they announced that about 100 deputies will go to Congress.

"The problem is not the session on Tuesday, they want to introduce us to a protocol for 30 days with issues that will bring quilombo ", ratified this Sunday one of the swords of Together for Change, with the warning that in case of advancing the The ruling party with a session without agreement will go to the premises with a notary public and then go to court.

It is irresponsible what they are doing , to get attention. It never happened that whoever lost the election told you 'no, look, don't deal with this issue,' "countered a referent from the ruling party, who announced that if opponents appear in the Chamber they will not prevent them from entering, they will demand care to minimize the risks of contagion and the deputies of the Frente de Todos will retire to their offices , as Máximo Kirchner had proposed in a meeting of parliamentary work a few weeks ago. Although for Juntos por el Cambio there could be no mixed session, due to the expired protocol.

"We are not going to get the judicial reform expressly, because we do not have the number, " they added from the ruling party. Even so, the opponents were suspicious: " With the extension they start in commissions and when they gather the votes they go to the precinct." The Government will seek to negotiate with provincial leaders and individual deputies, in parallel to the discussion on the Budget.

“The reasonable thing is to meet in a mixed way, with a method that has proven to be reliable. We want to continue with the open Congress and take care of the health of workers. Together for Change is not going to decide when and how it meets, they are one more bloc , "said Cecilia Moreau, vice president of the Frente de Todos bloc.

"We decided to go, because the virtual protocol has expired," warned the deputy and head of radicalism Alfredo Cornejo. “Mixed operation is for issues with agreement. With the projects very even in their voting and conflictive, we must find another way of meeting, ”Ritondo confirmed later. In the opposition coalition, they had been talking about the Colón Theater, the CCK or even soccer stadiums to keep their distance, options rejected by the ruling party.
