In his C5N television program, Jorge Rial referred to rumors of an alleged pact between Javier Milei and Cristina Kirchner and a hypothetical reform of the National Constitution. Refloating a publishing house that Alejandro Fantino exposed in his Neura streaming space, the journalist highlighted the officials of Peronist origin in the libertarian administration.
“I don’t see Milei talking to Cristina,” Rial clarified and remarked: “But, there must be a lot of second lines.” Mentioning the new Minister of the Interior, Diego Santilli, Coming from Peronism, the journalist pointed out that the government “is pregnant with Peronism.” Giving examples of leaders with a Justicialist past who ended up in the ranks of LLA, such as Sebastian Pareja either Patricia Bullrichthe driver from Argenzuela explained that some PJ cadres invited Santilli to sit down and talk.
For the moment, the truth is that emissaries from Javier Milei’s government and hard Kirchnerism sat down to talk about how to fill the two vacancies that the Supreme Court has. The meeting was between Sebastian Ameriocurrent Secretary of Justice of Milei, and Juan Martin Mena, former number two of the AFI during Christianity and last vice minister of Justice of Alberto Fernandez.
The Noticias journalist, Rodis Recalt, stated that in that talk he would propose to Mariano Llorens —president of the Federal Chamber of Comodoro Py— and Kirchnerism would put on the table Anabel Fernández Sagasti, senator from Mendoza and figure of absolute trust of Cristina Kirchner.
These second lines have the most absolute confidence of the country’s main political leaders. Amerio, as Secretary of Justice, is the articulator between the Executive Branch and the judicial system: he translates the political strategies of Santiago Caputo into the institutional language of the courts. For his part, Mena is the cadre with the greatest knowledge of the mechanisms of the Judicial Power that Kirchnerism preserves and maintains the key to the Senate for any institutional agreement.
If the talks come to fruition, the possibilities of a sequel to the Olivos Pact with the modification of the National Constitution could be realized. In the 1994 constitutional reform, when presidential re-election was included as a possibility for the incumbent president, the term was shortened from 6 years to 4 years. Rumors say that Javier Milei is interested in seeing this provision reversed, returning to 6 years. Although, for now, they are rumors, the voices on this issue are being heard louder.
The Pact of Olivos led by the Justicialist president Carlos Menem and the former radical president Raul Alfonsin meant the ratification of a new possibility of re-election for the Riojan in the 1995 presidential elections, which he finally won. On the other hand, it was a harbinger of the weakness of the UCR in the negotiation that finished in third place in the electoral contest and that had to ally with new emerging parties in order to survive in the political competition at the national level. Based on that experience, it would be an unpromising future for Peronism.
