Deputy
Miguel Ángel Pichetto
, president of the We Make Federal Coalition bloc, said this Sunday that
he is not "surprised"
by the possible formation of a political alliance between La Libertad Avanza (LLA) and the PRO, considering that this eventual unity would allow him to
" strengthen"
the Government and the ruling party in Congress, especially after the brakes suffered in the debate on the Omnibus Law.
"If it makes an alliance with the PRO,
it would be interesting for the Government
to strengthen itself at the level of Congress, where it has a very minority structure in both chambers, and in the Executive;
the alliance suits them
," said Pichetto in statements to
Radio Splendid
.
The experienced legislator added that the political link between Javier Milei and the PRO is
"almost natural"
because former president
Mauricio Macri and his party "played in favor" of the libertarian
in the runoff last November.
After the election, Macri and Milei shook hands and, in parallel, Patricia Bullrich joined the Government as Minister of Security.
"I am not surprised that they are close or talking to be able to expand the
support base
of the Government," added the leader and former Macri running mate in 2019.
The possible agreement with the PRO, Pichetto analyzed,
"adds to the Government"
in seeking to "consolidate the parliamentary majority", a key condition, he said, "
to govern for four years
."
"It is important to do so and
not break with some sectors that were allies
and with whom there were nuances and differences, which should not have been resolved at the level of controversy," said Pichetto, in a reference to his legislative space and the UCR. .
Last Friday, from Rome, Milei admitted that he is
"willing to merge with the PRO"
, after Bullrich spoke about the subject in an interview.
As Clarín was able to find out, behind closed doors he admitted that "it would be very good for
an interblock
to be organized between La Libertad Avanza and the PRO to start the ordinary elections with a different force."
In line with Pichetto's words, the President told his people that it would be a natural process, in which "there is almost no
important ideological difference
."
Bullrich, meanwhile, said this Saturday that in the last elections, the PRO was "
much closer to Milei's ideas than to Rodríguez Larreta's ideas
, without insulting or belittling him but as an objective description," he expressed on radio
Rivadavia
.
Pichetto asked to "de-dramatize" the fall of the Omnibus Law
Migue Ángel Pichetto, who currently chairs the bench made up of legislators from the Federal Change, Civic Coalition and We Do for Córdoba parties - many in Milei's sights, accused of being "traitors" - asked the Government to "
de-dramatize"
the brakes suffered in the Congress for the Bases bill, and "find
a path of dialogue and positive construction
in Argentina."
"We must
get out of this plane of confrontation that does not serve
the Government. Argentina needs tranquility and find a path of peace and dialogue. The Government must build a majority in the chambers of Deputies and Senators to be able to govern. If the It is difficult to build bridges for the majority," he concluded.

The former senator, who was very close to Cristina Kirchner during his terms and was a candidate for Macri's vice president, served in recent weeks as
one of the deputies who had the most dialogue with the Milei Government
in the negotiations for the Omnibus Law.
In fact, although his block mostly rejected the articles that made the law fail, he supported what was proposed by La Libertad Avanza and
raised his hand in a positive sign in everything
that could be discussed about the frustrated law.
And Milei highlighted it and thanked him.
