Javier Milei
's first visit
as president to the interior of the country was to
Corrientes
, the province governed by the radical
Gustavo Valdés,
and caused an intern in the UCR.
One day after the meeting, when the provincial president was asked about the "distrust" expressed by the sector that responds to the president of radicalism
Martín Lousteau
, Valdés was blunt:
"I don't give a damn what Lousteau says."
"I don't give a damn what Lousteau thinks, I'm not interested. I represent the people of Corrientes, not Lousteau, not the centralism of Buenos Aires," the Corrientes governor warned with striking harshness.
Valdés, who within radicalism is aligned with the sector of Alfredo Cornejo, former head of the UCR and today governor of Mendoza, harshly criticized the senator and president of the party in an interview with
Radio Sudamericana
from his province, after the visit of Javier Milei to the province for the anniversary of a local libertarian club.
"I belong to the province of Corrientes, when a president comes I will attend to him, whether he is of my political sign or not of my political sign, that generates distrust in anyone, I am not interested in what they may think, I represent the Corrientes," remarked Valdés.
In addition, he highlighted that he received in the same way all the presidents who visited the province while he was governor.
"They are their interests, our interests are ours, I am the president of the province of Corrientes," he emphasized.
The governor of Corrientes, Gustavo Valdés, received President Javier Milei on Monday.
But he went further and recalled Lousteau's past in Cristina Kirchner's government: "When a president of the Nation comes, it is up to the governor to receive the president, I am not going to eat at Quinta de Olivos, nor do I feel as I would. "All the political parties that are all together and today belong to one government and then jump to another rise.
Lousteau was Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's Minister of Economy, today he is not going to come to me to mark the field within radicalism
."
"If there is distrust within radicalism, it could be with Lousteau, I have been a radical for 40 years," he concluded about the radical internal.
