After crusade calls and deliberations to define whether a joint pronouncement was appropriate, the main opposition leaders dismissed it and devoted themselves to
contemplating the debacle
in which the Government was sliding with the resignation en bloc of Kirchnerist ministers and officials.
Public reactions were
individual, with differences
over whether or not it was a "coup" by Cristina Kirchner, and some chose silence.
During the first hours there were conversations to measure the crisis due to the fracture and
evaluate a response
from Together for Change.
Mario Negri, Cristian Ritondo and Juan López, the heads of the Deputies' bloc, were meeting and about to release a statement, which in the end was discarded.
Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and the main city officials did not issue an opinion.
Until late at night, members of the national table promoted a pronouncement.
"
It is a quilombo of their marriage
, we do not have to get involved," argued in the opposite direction a reference of the PRO.
"We do not want to be left throwing wood on the fire," they indicated near María Eugenia Vidal.
Individually, through the media or social networks, party authorities and legislators asked to
"take care of the institutionality"
and resolve the fierce internment in the Government to "focus on the problems" of the country.

support democracy and institutions

The President was elected until 2023. I regret that after a defeat the Government breaks ranks.

After the first hours of the impact that was generated from the resignations of Wado de Pedro, Jorge Ferraresi, Martín Soria, Roberto Salvarezza, Luana Volnovich and Fernanda Raverta, among other Kirchner officials, there was no contact between the opponents and Alberto Fernández.
"Nothing at all, and I don't even want to call,"
said one late in the afternoon. Some preferred to wait for the stage to finish.
"Let's hope that certain things are defined as quickly as possible, if this is prolonged it can cause more serious damage and
when things get out of hand it is not good for anyone,
" warned a senior City official, who at that time ruled out an official communication from Rodríguez Larreta with the President. Informally, contacts were expected with members of the Government coalition, such as Sergio Massa - a friend of the Buenos Aires chief - among the versions that indicated that the head of Deputies could join the Cabinet.
There were different views on whether it was a "coup" from Cristina Kirchner to Alberto Fernández. From the outset, the leaders of the Civic Coalition and later Elisa Carrió herself took this discursive path. "The attempt to empty the President from a vice president is a
coup,
" said the former deputy to radio Miter.
Alfredo Cornejo, head of radicalism, expressed the opposite look.
"They are tied with wire, they united to conquer power and Sunday's defeat shows what they are: there is no communion of projects, a program, an orientation for the country," the former governor of Mendoza told
Clarín
, and marked : “
There is neither a palace coup nor an institutional breakdown
.
Some ministers submitted the resignation, the President has to accept them and govern responsibly.

Along that line late at night came a statement from the National Committee of the UCR.
The only dissonant voice was that of Elisa Carrió, the leader of the Civic Coalition.
"THE attempt to empty the President is a coup," he said and accused Cristina Kirchner.
