Frustration became an open anger. Behind him Failure of the law of clean file in the Senatethe pro shows a deep break with Javier Milei And freedom advances. Fernando de Andreisformer Secretary General of the Presidency of Mauricio Macri And current holder of the PRO, left a direct accusation in radio statements: “It was the Casa Rosada that operated to turn this law”he said, pointing without surroundings to the president.
Andreis went further: he slipped that the intervention of the ruling against the project, which prevents people convicted of corruption from accessing elective positions, Not only did he respond to an electoral calculation, but deliberately benefited Cristina Kirchner. “They sent to vote as if they had the votes and, below, they asked that the Senators of Missions did not do it,” he explained, referring to the role of the Renovating Front for Concord, aligned with the missionary Carlos Rovira. According to versions that circulated throughout the day, it would have been Milei himself who requested that movement.
The vote exposed an agreement that the PRO qualifies as unacceptable. In De Andreis, what happened constitutes “huge institutional damage” and “a devastating sign for the credibility of the country.” “If we do not understand that corrupt cannot be re -elected, we fail as a country”he sentenced.
Of disappointment to rupture
Beyond the legal, the reverse fell deep into the symbolic plane. Clean file was an emblem project of macrismo and, in particular, of the deputy Silvia Lospenatowho became a trend in social networks after rejection. From Misiones, even, the head of Channel 12, Nicolás Llera, crushed mockery to Macri and the Pennate celebrating the defeat of the project. For the PRO, it was the confirmation of a political operation orchestrated from Balcarce 50.
“The question that still has no answer is: in exchange for what?”suggesting that there was an implicit or explicit pact between the government of Milei and Kirchnerism. “It is rare for a president to end up playing in favor of the possibility that Cristina be a candidate again. That is not part of the transformation project that they told us were going to carry out,” he shot.
Although the pro has so far avoid formally breaking with the ruling party, What happened in the Senate seems to mark a turning point. “More than anger, it is disappointment. Mauricio accompanied him, raised a country project. And what is happening, with opaque agreements and operations against the PRO, is something else,” said De Andreis. In that line, He recalled that the PRO supported key measures of the libertarian government to avoid a greater economic crisis. “We were when they wanted to turn the DNU or the Bases Law. But we are not going to accompany this. This is not transparency. It is not institutionality. It is not a Republic,” he said.
In the hard nucleus of the PRO there is anger for the systematic ningunement to its own figures in national management and in the province of Buenos Aires. According to Andreis, there is not even an open channel with referents such as Cristian Ritondo. “They are still sitting at the table, but from the government there is not a call,” he claimed. Nor did the nickname of “Republican ñoños” that Milei himself used in interviews to discredit the PRO. For De Andreis, criticism is unfair and contradictory: “Being antikirchnerista today is easy. The difficult thing was to face them in 2009, beat them in 2015 and finish a mandate. We did.”
Power look, not change
The pro interprets that Milei has abandoned the ideal of deep reform of the State to embrace a purely electoral logic. “It became a power project,” said De Andreis. “And the worst thing is that, unlike what many believe, sA surroundings beat Milei himself. His sister, his intimate circle, end up conditioning decisions that are against what he said”
As an example of that turn, he mentioned that a clean file could have been approved if freedom progresses activated the votes it controls. “It was on-off mode, the votes were, if they wanted them. They chose not to have them,” he said. “That is stated that they preferred to benefit Cristina and avoid giving Silvia a triumph Lospennato. ”
Asked if this episode can have an impact on the polls, of Andreis was blunt: “Weigh. Especially in the Buenos Aires electorate. Clean file was an ethical and moral flag. That the government has been in charge of turning it will not go unnoticed. ” In a closure loaded with disappointment, he also pointed against spokesmen of the ruling party that now look worn out: “Before you saw adorni with energy, convinced. Now you see it and seem to be desired to be a spokesman or candidate.” The link between Macri and Milei, which began with enthusiasm, today is filled with suspicions, reproaches and discomfort. What was presented as a reformist alliance now resembles a relationship with mutual distrust. AND The clean file case may have been the blow that finishes sealing the distance.
