While Ignacio “Nacho” Torres and Axel Kicillof reheated this Monday the already tense relationship between the Government and the provinces, the radical
Leandro Zdero
,
from Chaco, seemed to opt for another path by asking to "
put
cold cloths"
on the confrontation and
leave aside the “complaint”
about the inheritance received, in the case of the new governors.
Zdero's statements
drew attention
since he was
one of the many
to come out to support Torres last Friday, when it was learned that Casa Rosada retained part of the co-shareable funds that correspond to Chubut as part of the debt that the company maintains. province with the Nation, and that Torres denounced that they did not allow him to refinance.
But the Chaco native was subtle:
he signed the statement
from the leaders who emerged from Together for Change, although
he did not share it on his networks
.
Zdero traveled to Buenos Aires this Monday to participate in a meeting at the Federal Investment Council where at the end he made statements to the press.
Earlier, he had been
received by the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos,
at Casa Rosada.
"I think
we have to put a cold shoulder,
it seems to me that at this moment
a lot of dialogue is necessary,
finding the common denominator
,
" said the Chaco native, consulted about the disputes opened by Chubut and Buenos Aires with the Nation.
Zdero in turn considered that the country's situation "is not for setbacks, nor for looking askance at us" and, instead, said that we must "stand back to back."

And then he slipped what seemed to be
a differentiation
with his fellow governors, who also took office on December 10.
“I am in a broken province
, which was handed over to us melted;
"If I'm going to start complaining
about everything they left me, the truth is that
I'm not going to be able to govern
," he noted.
The Chaco native said that he received a province with debts when he succeeded Jorge Capitanich as governor.
“We are trying to organize.
We found a province that left debts, only debts,
I have debt in dollars, in fiduciaries, in pesos
,” he listed.
And he insisted: “We have to put cold clothes on, dialogue,
build bridges
, Argentina requires that maturity.”
He said that in Chaco they put “
splashes in his wheel every day
” but that he will continue working “because we have been the government in the province for three months
. ”
“What they did not solve in 16 years
will not be able to be solved in three months, let's be patient
, let's all find a way to see how to improve Argentina,” he added.

The governor of Neuquén also asked for "dialogue"
Rolando Figueroa, governor of Neuquén, along with his counterpart from Río Negro, Alberto Weretilneck.
In the midst of the tension between the national Executive and the provinces due to the withdrawal of funds, the governor of Neuquén,
Rolando Figueroa,
questioned the cuts this Monday, but
asked for dialogue
between the parties to reach an agreement, due to an "unfavorable context" .
"
We have to dialogue and understand the context
in which we are living. Dialogue is the way, but we also have constitutional bodies that democracy gives us, such as the National Congress and Justice, with which there are various forms in which we can raise the different problems that we may have,” he said.
However, Figueroa highlighted the solidarity between the Patagonian leaders and assured that they will
"never allow a comrade and colleague to drown in any way,"
alluding to the intersection between the President and Torres.
