This time, Javier Milei threw too much from the rope. Accused the governors of wanting to “destroy the government” and they responded with an unprecedented advance in Congress. While the president did not take any step back, The dialoguistic wing of the Casa Rosada activated the defense mechanisms: Guillermo Francos put the fire costume to try to keep the fire growing.
“The Government is talking permanently with the governors. In fact, I dialogue with the governors, ”Franks said In a television interview. And he assured that he was already close to the minimum objective, conserve the armor of the veto in Congress: “There are governors who want to agree with us,” he said.
Strain.
Inside they celebrate the precise coordination of the counterattack of the governors through their senators. They claim that there is no history that leaders of different political parties could put a brake on the central government. A call for attention to the none they receive from Casa Rosada.
In Balcarce 50, however, they understand that there is a overlapping goal. The October elections in which, they say, Milei could destroy. “We are negotiating in an electoral moment climate,” Franks slipped, To locate the context.
The spokesman of a governor denies that reading: “We get tired of the nation to make a box with the money that corresponds to us,” he protests. “They don’t give you a ball and the president tells you that you want to destroy it. Then, what happens in October, will see.” Although he clarifies that the intention is not to go for everything: “It is not a war: they are specific proposals on specific issues. The ATNs and the fuel tax, which are items that belong to us. And it happens that for the first time we all agree. And the government was scared to see us all in front.”
In his attempt to resume the dialogue, Francos sought to organize an encounter with the leaders in a neutral place: taking advantage of the context of the rural one, in which many governors participate, the chief of cabinet woven threads to build a meeting. He did not get it. From the inside they ensure that the encounters that occurred in that framework are absolutely informal. And they add that, To achieve an approach, they should call them pink. For the Government, doing so would be to sign a kind of surrender. The idea was bogged down.
To top it off, Franks appeared an internal line in the cabinet that produced more noise in the negotiation to stop the projects of the governors in Congress. It is that the minister of deregulation, Federico Sturzenegger, took a different path: “If the president consults me, he would tell him not to go,” he said. And the chief of cabinet had to turn off one more fire: “Of course he will veto them. As well as everything that affects the fiscal balance.”
Advanced. This new round, the most furious so far from the management between Milei and the governors, began on July 9. The day the leaders decided to run the body to the photo that was going to reissue the May 124 and the president, before the vacuum, did not travel to Tucumán.
The governors were encouraged in the Senate. But then they continued to hear their coordinated criticisms in their provinces. In the last hours, there was an advanced by the Dissolution of Roads (now rejected by Justice) and the null maintenance of national routes.
In Santa Fe, Governor Maximiliano Pullaro made some posters to the vera of the national routes that warn that “here the route maintained by the national state begins.” And the governor suggested to his purchasing ones to avoid them, for their poor condition. His Minister of Infrastructure traveled a dozen times to Buenos Aires, but only got promises that were not fulfilled. The Salteño Gustavo Sáenz complained: “We have death routes. The northern provinces have no ways. From there you don’t see or feel what happens here.” And Alberto Weretilneck, governor of Río Negro, had already warned that his paths are “wounded, broken and forgotten.”
The leaders achieved coordination that they did not know that they could reach in the advance against the central power. From the Federal Investment Council, they strengthened a league without distinction of ideological lines. The data does not record background, because Milei is the only president in history who becomes the first president without the support of any governor. And now he has them all against.
Only francs can twist some wills to weaken the federal muscle. The Chief of Cabinet had been run by the scene, while giving priority to the electoral calendar. But he had to go to the court to turn off the fire. One more time.
