Martín Llaryora from Córdoba was the
first governor to set foot in the Casa Rosada
in the Milei era.
Maximiliano Pullaro from Santa Fe was the second.
After the shipwreck of the Omnibus Law that the Government is now exploring refloating, the two became traitors, according to the President's particular prism.
Gustavo Sáenz
from Salta
also joined that group that completed, according to
the likes
of the libertarian on Twitter, the missionary
Hugo Passalacqua
, but nothing is forever.
The President wants the heart of the omnibus law and the governors demand to deal with the fiscal chapter as soon as possible, with moratorium and reversal of Profits, at the forefront.
Milei and Villarruel with governors, on December 19.
The link between the head of state and the provincial leaders is changing.
Of the group of unfaithful to the cause, only Llaryora maintains a manifest enmity with the President who in the runoff obtained 75 percent of the votes in the Mediterranean province.
The governor is now thinking about giving way to the former head of the PAMI
Osvaldo Giordano
and avoids criticizing the Secretary of Transportation
Franco Mogetta
and the rest of the former Cordoba officials who came to occupy key positions in the Government without any political compensation in return, a detail that the Milei's allies
bill Guillermo Francos
.
Milei is not the only one who changes.
Sáenz from Salta said on Thursday that he would not kneel with anyone and on Friday
he organized a meeting with the Minister of the Interior
and received the vice president for the commemoration of the battle of Salta.
Among the participants in the meeting were also the former traitor Passalacqua.
Gerardo Morales' successor,
Carlos Sadir
from Jujuy , - another target - excused himself and sent his vice-governor Alberto Bernis to represent him.
More suggestive, but not surprising, will be the presence in Salta of the Peronist and Catamarca governor
Raúl Jalil
, who increasingly shares the diagnostic picture with the President.
“Inflation is first of all a fiscal, quasi-fiscal and monetary problem (…) There will be more stability and it will be easier to lower inflation
if there is an agreement between the government and the governors
,” Jalil told this newspaper.
More obvious was the presence of
Osvaldo Jaldo
from Tucuman , the first who dared to
break the UxP bloc
in Congress.
Despite the official retaliation that resulted from the
departure of Flavia Royón
from the Ministry of Mining from Salta, the lithium-producing provinces lament the failure of the mining chapter of the omnibus law that could now be resurrected.
No governor has so far been more collaborative than
Gustavo Valdés
from Corrientes , who received him on Monday with a hug at the foot of the presidential plane (another novelty) and with exclamation points on Twitter.
Very far from the head of the UCR Martín Lousteau, Valdés appears aligned and so does his political godson, the governor of Chaco
Leandro Zdero
.
Valdés was the only one of the 10 JxC governors who did not participate in last Friday's zoom in which the leaders agreed
to talk with the President without intermediaries
.
A co-religionist from Valdés defines the Corrientes as “an official on duty”, the radical internal carves.
Despite wanting to set the tone for the President, they are collaborative.
Pullaro
moderated his criticism of the President and this Tuesday he planned to meet with Macri
.
His co-religionist,
Alfredo Cornejo
from Mendoza , is not frightened by Milei's statements and shares the economic direction, but he crossed Milei for the elimination of transportation subsidies.
The tension decreased in the last hours and it was announced that Francos will visit him at the grape harvest festival, at the beginning of March.
Strictly speaking, his main detractor in the Government is the Secretary of Parliamentary Relations (and rival in the last elections)
Omar de Marchi
.
To the governor of Entre Ríos,
Rogelio Frigerio
, of the PRO, Milei dedicated one of his most effusive greetings at the
December 19 meeting
that brought together the 24 governors with the President in La Rosada.
They know each other.
Macri's former Minister of the Interior agrees with the direction set by the President for the provinces to take charge of their responsibilities, but maintains - and he said this to the President, Francos, Luis and Santiago Caputo - that he must first There is a new fiscal pact between the Government and the provinces.
The youngest governor of the country,
Ignacio Torres from Chubut,
differentiated himself from his peers and announced the creation of a
provincial teaching incentive fund
, a detail that many read as a nod to Rosada, although he charged against the President for his attack on Lali Espósito and appealed to the Federal Chamber for the removal of subsidies.
Mauricio Macri was bothered by some gestures of autonomy from his cousin Jorge, who coincided with the President in the canonization of Mama Antula.
The yellow party maintains that the head of the Buenos Aires government urgently needs the Nation to transfer co-participation funds that he owes.
In the PRO they also wonder how the new electoral front that they are exploring with LLA will conform -if resources do not increase- the more pragmatic
Marcelo Orrego, from San Juan, and Claudio Poggi
, from San Luis.
With the
exception of Jaldo and Jalil
, the links with Peronism are more confrontational.
Ricardo Quintela
from Rioja
is the governor most targeted by La Rosada;
He appealed to the Supreme Court for the Mega DNU and moved forward with the issuance of a quasi-currency.
Sergio Ziliotto from Pampa is another of the hard-line Peronists who polarizes with the Government and went to the highest Court for the removal of transportation subsidies.
Axel Kicillof also became a recurring target of libertarians
.
The President told him this in the only political meeting they shared.
Their
differences are ideological
.
The governor of the Province - the most affected by the almost total cut in discretionary funds - wants to redirect the protests of teachers, Transportation and those that are approaching against the Government.
La Rosada prefers to point to the former Minister of Economy as the example of the "impoverishing model" of Kirchnerism.
Villarruel's bridges with Gildo Insfrán
were
only enough to sink the chances of Francisco Paoltroni from Formosa becoming provisional president of the Senate.
In the Upper House there were also
gestures by Gerardo Zamora from Santiago
that translated into failures by his legislators when voting for committee authorities.
In the ruling party they are excited that more sensations will be repeated.
The governors of the Patagonian provinces
of Neuquén and Tierra del Fuego
confront the ruling party with some timidity.
Much tougher is
Alberto Weretilneck
from Rio Negro .
The main exception between the President and the southern governors is
Claudio Vidal
from Santa Cruz , to whom Milei promised -
like Torres from Chubut
- the reversion of oil areas that YPF does not exploit.
