The Minister of Security,
Patricia Bullrich, said
this Tuesday that the governor of Chubut,
Ignacio Torres
, had anticipated the problem he had with the refinancing of the debt and admitted that, when the Chubut president
warned him that "if they did not send him the money, cut off the oil", she thought "it was a joke"
.
Bullrich, in statements with La Nación +, commented on the conflict between the national government and the governor of Chubut, Ignacio Torres, over the issue of the province's debt, and admitted that he had a meeting with the provincial leader prior to the start of the conflict last Friday.
"He came to see me, told me about the debt and it seems to me that discussing with the national government to see a refinancing of the debt is something logical.
He told me that if I didn't send him the money, he would cut off the oil. I thought "That was a joke
," said the minister.
"One thing is a governor who raises things within the framework of the law and another thing is for him to threaten to cut off the oil," said Bullrich and stressed that the country "has a parliament and the Justice system where conflicts between provinces are resolved." and nation".
When asked about a possible impeachment of President Milei, the national official indicated that if "there is an extreme of saying that I sit on a barrel of oil, one can also ask for an impeachment."
"If that happens, there will be resistance from those of us who believe that Argentina needs a profound change. If it comes to that, there will be strong resistance, but it will not happen. It
is an extreme measure and we are framed in the law
"said the minister.
Then, he commented on his relationship with former president Mauricio Macri and criticized him for not giving his opinion on the conflict between the Nation and Chubut.
"There was a clear positioning of several leaders of the PRO.
As president of the PRO, I would have liked to hear Macri's positioning
. Because I believe that these are the moments in which one must define what we are as a party. We are a party that defends the republican and the Constitution," Bullrich said.
Finally, the head of Security acknowledged that the "Bases" Law project was designed by Federico Sturzenegger for his government program, when Bullrich was a candidate for president for Together for Change.
"That law (Bases Law) was based on work that I did as the one who was elected within the framework of JxC, together with Sturzenegger and 190 technicians," he explained.
