A mixture of indignation, disappointment and certainty travels at this time to a sector of Argentine politics. The recent one Fall of the Clean Card Law Project in the Senate – A initiative that seeks to prevent people convicted of corruption can apply for public office – exposed something deeper than a legislative difference: according to the deputy Margarita Stolbizerwhat happened was A “political scam” of the government of Javier Milei towards society.
Stolbizer, one of the strongest voices in defense of institutional transparency, accused the national ruling of having deliberately sabotaged the law with a maneuver that described as “corroborated by confession of parts.” The focus of his complaint is in the agreement between President Milei and the missionary leader Carlos Rovira, who, as confirmed by the environment itself, He ordered his senators to vote against the request of the Casa Rosada.
“I had been seeing it for a long time. Missionary deputies with whom I work in the Chamber always vote aligned with the ruling party. They respond blindly to Rovira, and Rovira has a pact with Milei”, Stolbizer denounced in a recent interview, where he remarked that it was not an error or a surprise, but a premeditated strategy to boycott the norm.
“They never wanted the law of clean file. The Government made her fall on purpose not to give a triumph to a rival”With that phrase, the national deputy Margarita Stolbizer turned on a new alarm on institutional transparency in the country. In the interview provided to Maxi Sardi in the trigger (Delta 90.3), the opposition reference crudely exposed what he considers Deliberate maneuver by Javier Milei to boycott the sanction of a rule that would prevent corruption from accessing public office.
According to Stolbizer, which began as a suspicion became certainty after the dissemination of versions that ensure that it was Milei himself who asked Rovira to order his senators to change the vote and reject the project. “This ends up corroborating by confession of parts. It was not uncommon for them to change the vote. The strange thing would have been to keep him, risking the relationship with the president. ”
“The Milei government never had a political will to sanction clean card. Last November, its block was the one that knocked down the key session in deputies. And then presented a parallel project, without content, just to simulate commitment.”
For Stolbizer, the key is not only in electoral speculation, as some analysts maintain that Milei prefers Cristina Kirchner enabled to compete and thus sustain polarization. The suspicion transforms into certainty, the deputy maintains, when the context and the background is analyzed. In November last year, Milei’s own bench was responsible for turning the session in deputies that sought to advance with a clean file. Later, when the project finally achieved its approval in that camera thanks to an ant work, Milei presented an alternative project that Stolbizer described as “a pavada, just to disturb and simulate that she did something.”
“Cristina’s senators already knew they lost. They gathered their block on the same day of the session because they knew that the votes were to approve. This took them by surprise.“
What was now exposed is that the government never had real will to sanction the law. And, even more serious, according to Stolbizer, parliamentary sabotage was not only an electoral strategy to hold Cristina Fernández de Kirchner – direct beneficiary of the lack of a law like this – but of one more sample that “The fight against corruption is not part of the ideology or the priorities of the Government of Javier Milei.”
“They took out the mask. Milei is not interested in transparency. It does not confront with Cristina, it does not speak of corruption, it is shielded in the empty discourse of the caste, but its management is plagued by opacity and desprolijidades that touch or cross the line of corruption, ”Stolbizer remarked. In that line, in that line, in that line, in that line, in that line, in that line, in that line, in that line, in that line, He cited the Libra case scandal, the abusive use of decrees of necessity and urgency, the manipulation of reserved funds and the opaque transfer of resources to the Federal Intelligence Agency.
“This is an opaque government, which does not pay accounts, that violates the Constitution and hides its financial management. The clean file was only the confirmation of a logic.“
But the political background also has proper names. For Stolbizer, the decision of the ruling party to make a clean file to fall was also guided by a petty intention: to avoid that the author of the project, Silvia Lospenato —Diputada of the PRO and candidate in the city of Buenos Aires – the political merit of a law highly valued by public opinion will be carried out. The pine Manuel Adornipresidential spokesman and ascending figure of freedom progresses.
Since that approach, the ruling party preferred that a norm that had transverse support, rather than granting a political triumph to an internal adversary in the middle of a campaign in which each symbol counts.
The maneuver was so crude, says Stolbizer, that not even Kirchnerism saw her coming. “The senators of Cristina were given by losers before the session. They knew that the votes were and that clean tab could be approved. They were taken by surprise, and that shows that this play was not a tactical alliance with them, but a unilateral decision of the government to ensure that there was no law,” he explained.
“I believe that the Milei government is committing acts of corruption. That is why I do not fight corruption: because it would be fighting itself. It was never.“
What was evidenced, then, it is not just a political pact with Rovira or a betrayal of the anti -corruption agenda. For Stolbizer, what happened with a clean file is an alarming sign: “The Government not only does not want to fight corruption, but acts with practices of opaque regimes. Viola the Constitution, abuses power and finances operations with funds that do not pay accounts.”
Clean file, in the end, was not lying by Kirchnerism. It was the national ruling that dynamited it from the inside. Not by ideological conviction, but for calculation, opportunism and an insatiable need to control all political revenues. As Stolbizer concludes: “This is a betrayal of society. A slap to the claim of millions of Argentines who want a decent policy.”
