Of girls and lions
The official observed the size of his office in the Ministry of National Security and thought about it once again.
He looked out the window at the charming neighborhood called "La Isla" (bounded by the avenues of Libertador, Pueyrredón and Las Heras) but the bucolic nature of the geography was not enough to change his decision.
He got up, went up four floors
and waited for the minister - and his political boss until last Monday - to receive him, and informed him of his resignation:
“Pato, you need me to be your political manager here and I do not share the direction that this government took with the governors: I'm leaving,” said Sebastián García De Luca
, until this week in charge of Patricia Bullrich's political action.
The tough official - who became a fervent mileista - imagined the decision: just fourteen days ago,
De Luca had generated a photo of Bullrich with Rogelio Frigerio and Ignacio Torres, the governors of Entre Ríos and Chubut
.
Two weeks later, the former presidential candidate had promoted a letter in which she and her closest leaders (eight of them deputies and the rest, national government officials) harshly criticized Ignacio Torres, the provincial leader of Chubut, who was engaged in a dispute with the national Government for Transportation and Co-participation funds.

García De Luca felt that the President's crusade with the Patagonian governor forced him to betray his thoughts or to get involved in a fight that, he considered, was not his.
Now this leader who put together the Buenos Aires structure of Bullrich for the internal campaign against Horacio Rodríguez Larreta,
will return to work with Rogelio Frigerio (today governor of Entre Ríos)
and resume relations with Emilio Monzó, his previous political boss, from whom he distanced himself when the former The head of the Chamber of Deputies was ambiguous, during the electoral campaign, and almost seemed to bless the presidential candidacy of Sergio Tomás Massa.
The twists and turns of life - or the volcanic decisions of Javier Gerardo Milei - returned things to their origin.
Against caste
Javier Milei will continue his discursive crusade and will go in depth next Friday in the National Congress.
His message to the Legislative Assembly will be "against corporations."
This generalization is what circulates on the first floor of the Casa Rosada, where the head of State, his sister and General Secretary of the Presidency, Karina Milei, the Chief of Staff Nicolás Posse, and the advisor Santiago Caputo, skull of revulsive ideas such as the time change on March 1st.
They are the only ones who access the text of the presidential speech where he will attack what he considers the most established business entities in politics, businessmen and the Argentine media.
A paradox, taking into account
Milei's business origins in the airport corporation of the powerful Eduardo Eurnekian, also the nest of the Posse Chief of Staff.
The President is convinced that his various fights simultaneously only predict success in a society that supports, in different social sectors, the dispute against "the caste."

2025
While the president does not make differences when classifying politicians, the leader of Libertad Avanza is already thinking about 2025, since next year will be an election and therefore, a parliamentary renewal.
The idea of "phagocytizing the PRO" is increasingly widespread in libertarian lands instead of forging an alliance with the party founded by Mauricio Macri.
But in the political talks held by the President,
the suggestion of a district leader to whom Milei listens, was added to the analysis of the "small table" of the Casa Rosada: the possibility that LLA and the PRO go separately
, campaigning without aggrieved, but with the intention of coming out first and second in the majority of the districts, trying to dethrone Peronism, even in provinces where Justicialism rules today.
This electoral doubt was opened since the President's interlocutor (experienced in several electoral battles in Buenos Aires) believes that this way they could win more deputies and even keep all the senators from a district together.
This style was already practiced by Peronism:
just look at the alleged fights of the Rodríguez Saá brothers, who, in this way, secured political dominance in the province of San Luis for years
.
One plus one never gives me two;
I add and they don't give me the accounts and I can't find the error...

Pass without hitting
The one who has his issues, although not as deep as the national political dispute, is
a national senator from La Libertad Avanza who, almost three months after taking office, has not been given an office
.
But the "last straw" is that the man (a native of the province of La Rioja) was appointed as president of the Bicameral Commission that must understand the discussed decrees of necessity and urgency in the treatment of the DNU.
Lawyer Juan Carlos Pagotto wanders around the Upper House asking that one of his peers make a place for him.
The initial evil can be assigned to the outgoing radical senator from that northwest province, Julio Martínez, who gave the key to his office to another radical.
Pagotto, a man with a low profile until now, did not make a fuss, but he hopes that they will deign to consider him just another "homeless person."
