In order to fully engage in her campaign as a candidate for national senator for Santa Fe on the list headed by the Minister of Defense, Agustín Rossi, who has already announced that he will resign from his post, the deputy governor of Santa Fe,

presented a

request

this Thursday.

.

In this year's legislative elections, Rodenas will face in the PASO of the Frente de Todos in Santa Fe the list that brings Governor Omar Perotti as alternate senator.

In this way, the former judge will compete with Rossi with the list sponsored by the governor of Santa Fe, whose candidates are provincial senator Marcelo Lewandowski and national senator María de los Angeles Sacnun.

The Santa Fe lieutenant governor's request for a license came in a few hours after her partner on the list announced that she will leave the Defense portfolio.

Rodenas' decision comes in the middle of the request of President Alberto Fernández, who from Peru said on Wednesday that by an "ethical rule" officials who are also pre-candidates must "leave their positions."

In this context, the Defense Minister affirmed this Thursday that the National Executive had not warned him that if he was a candidate he should resign from his position, but that he found out on television,

"My resignation is available. The President will say when I have to make it effective. I spoke with the Chief of Staff (Santiago Cafiero) and he told me to hope that the President" of Peru returns, Rossi stressed in statements to radio

El Uncover

.


Rodenas will only have to leave her post if she is elected as a national senator, since her functions as president of the Santa Fe upper house become the responsibility of the provisional president of the Senate, Rubén Pirola.


The intern in Santa Fe burns

Amid the tension and criticism from Agustín Rossi towards Omar Perotti, the candidate for national deputy for Santa Fe Roberto Mirabella came out to defend his sector within the Peronist intern at the start of the electoral campaign.

Mirabella, who responds to Perotti, asked to de-dramatize the request for the resignation of the Defense Minister on behalf of President Alberto Fernández, and sent a message against the national official: "

We don't like things being imposed on us."

Rossi already warned this Wednesday that he will continue with his candidacy as senator of the Frente de Todos for the province of Santa Fe in the PASO on September 12.

"I will have absolute freedom to give the political debate that Santa Fe needs. The President has just said that all the candidates will have to leave our function, a decision that shows the deep ethical sense of the President," Rossi said in statements to the
