Javier Milei returned from the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli, where he went to see the marble sculpture of
Moses by Michelangelo
, an iconic site in Rome, and took refuge in his room at the Hotel Ambasciatori Intercontinental, located on the Via Veneto, for almost all of Saturday.
Before beginning to polish the details of what will be
his first meeting with Pope Francis
, he reviewed everything that had been said in Argentina since
Clarín
revealed its intention to advance an agreement with the PRO and, in the same way that he hurried the times and fired two of the officials who respond to the governors, he decided to go out and confirm that he is going to “explore” the merger with the party of Mauricio Macri and Patricia Bullrich.
It is a negotiation in which the President wants to be very careful in his forms, both
with his future allies and with his own troops
, in which he does not want to leave wounds.
So much so that he did not let go and rejected
the praise
that, according to journalist Roberto Navarro, close to the K universe, Cristina Kirchner gave about the President: "I don't believe what he said, he seeks to torpedo the merger with the PRO," He said in the privacy of his stay in Rome, according to
what high sources in the delegation confided to
Clarín .
Navarro surprised by assuring that "Cristina believes that Milei is today the politician who is doing things best in terms of political technique" and that "she is not so pessimistic about how Milei is going to do, since she believes
that inflation is going to go down little by little
."
Far from receiving those words in a good way, Milei warns her intimates of a hidden objective of the former president: "She tries to break the merger because she knows that
if it is done, they will not come back
," she maintains.
And she explains: "She does it so that the Republican purists of the PRO distance themselves from me. And so that I eat the curve for the praise and think that I don't need anyone and don't close the agreement."
President Javier Milei and his sister Karina at the Colosseum, in Rome, this Friday.
Milei grabs a phrase to maintain that the praise is intended to scare away the hawks: "Cristina believes that he is the one with the most courage, because he is Kirchnerist in his way of acting, that is, he always doubles down and never goes back." "Navarro had said.
There is a close precedent that the head of state seems to have taken note of: during
the negotiations he had with the PRO
for the Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies and the Provisional Presidency of the Senate, Cristina let it be known that she
was going to vote for the names of La Libertad Avanza
proposed that he propose for both positions, as a way to push him not to make concessions with Macrism.
In this context, Milei does not want to give further information on the fine print of the agreement with Macri.
More:
she bets on mystery
and disconcerting and, depending on the interlocutor she has in private, she makes different pronouncements.
For example, there are those who heard that she is not going to open any ministry so that the former President can appoint someone from his ranks, while she told other interlocutors that
he is willing to be "very generous" and did not rule out anything
.
He did not even agree on any parliamentary leadership for his eventual new partner.
However, those around them assure that the confirmation of the pact is not due to the appearance of Cristina in Navarro's mouth, but rather that attentive to what happens - and is said - minute by minute in Buenos Aires, the head of state is convinced that the debate over the "Omnibus Law"
accelerated the times of a process that was going to happen "naturally"
, which brought the softer sector of the opposition closer to Kirchnerism and the left.
Consequently, Milei insists that his administration was given the opportunity to mark a dividing line in which the LLA converges on one side with the PRO and with leaders "from other parties that align themselves ideologically."
In private, Milei is forceful:
"Everyone but popcorn
. "
For this reason, in the midst of the rumors and reactions that were unleashed after the advance of this newspaper, he came out to ratify his will to agree, to also mark the ground within La Libertad Avanza.
“I have a fluid dialogue with Mauricio Macri
,” highlighted the head of state, admitting that he decided to "explore" an understanding with the PRO leader.
“(The agreement) occurred spontaneously and was validated in the facts in the Chamber in recent days and it seems to me that it is something that naturally flows towards that,” he justified in an interview with Radio Miter.
"The talks I have with President Macri - he added - and that are in the same line with Dr. Bullrich, are (about)
how to build a political space that fully represents change
and we can advance in the reforms that make Argentina big again."
Milei denies those who say that the 56 percent he obtained in the runoff are not "pure" and that the level of support he has is that of the 30% who voted for him in the PASO.
For this reason, every time he can, he remembers that the presidential formula of Together for Change
supported him hand in hand with Sergio Massa
and that today they are part of his administration: “Patricia Bullrich is part of our Government and I am fully satisfied.
Just like Luis Petri,” she remarked.
In any case, he knows that now the time has come to
sit at the table with Macri
with a more generous spirit than before his inauguration, when he closed the possibility of an agreement because he was convinced that he had to make it clear that
his government It was not "the second time" Macrista
.
