, President
Javier Milei
gave the green light from Rome to advance a political agreement with Mauricio Macri and the PRO, which ends up destroying what remains of the political alliance that led Patricia Bullrich as a candidate for president and thus confirmed the president of the National Convention of the UCR
Gastón Manes
: "
Together for Change no longer exists
."
This Saturday, President Javier Milei once again attacked different political sectors of the opposition, where the radicals are, who have a bloc of 34 deputies and the president of the National Convention of the UCR took up the gauntlet.
"Fortunately I did not listen to him (the president), I took care of my mental health over the weekend. Regardless of whether he has criticized radicalism, which he has done since he entered public life, the President does not credit any merit or prestige for speaking about the others in that way. Blaming others is the easiest way to do politics," Manes said in dialogue with the
AM750
program "Toma y daca . "
"I don't care what the president of the radicals says because I don't respect him intellectually," added Gastón Manes.
In the same interview, they asked him about Milei's political agreement with the PRO after the coup with the omnibus law in Congress:
"I see it as positive that everything is white on black.
Radicalism formed an electoral coalition in 2015 together with the PRO, "when we came from 12 years of Kirchnerism that had a hegemonic proposal."
"That situation no longer exists.
There is no reason to be in a coalition with the PRO
, with whom we do not have common ideas on how to solve Argentina's problems.
If the PRO gets closer to the government more and more, it moves away from radicalism
"Manes highlighted.

And he launched: "Together for Change no longer exists since Bullrich and Macri decided to join forces with Milei without consultation. It was evident that our position was the correct one in political terms."
"There is no dialogue table between the parties of Together for Change. In the future, radicalism has to analyze the positions. The UCR is broad and there are very marked nuances between the positions of the different leaders, crossed with the genuine interests they have governors to defend their management and many times it clashes with a more purist vision for those of us who do not have the responsibility of governing a district," assessed Manes.
Regarding the positioning of the UCR, Manes stated: "Radicalism must form a popular center because we have
two very intense minorities, one on the right with Milei with Macri and what was hard Kirchnerism
, and the center is the position of radicalism but the center is difficult to be intense".

Manes' criticism of Javier Milei
The president of the National Convention of the UCR, charged harshly against the liberal economist who won the runoff against Sergio Massa: "Milei attacks the radicals who have not governed for 25 years and does not talk about Cristina Kirchner. He talks about caste and has the most chaste caste in Argentina in the government".
"It is shameful in the way in which the President is addressing himself.
It reminds me of '76, when Martínez de Hoz,
with the same language, spoke about the solutions that neoliberalism was going to bring and we already know what happened," highlighted the radical.

After that strong statement, the brother of deputy Facundo Manes clarified: "Regardless of the tragedy of the dictatorship, in economic terms it was also tragic and Milei's policy is a carbon copy of Martínez de Hoz's policy."
