The former senator from Entre Ríos Alfredo De Angeli He managed to stay within Congress after his term ended last December. After twelve years occupying a seat in the Upper House, he obtained a contract as PRO block advisorin a designation that was formalized weeks after leaving his legislative position.
The incorporation was carried out through a A1 category transitional plantthe highest within that administrative regime of the Senate. The decree was signed on January 26 by Vice President Victoria Villarruelhead of the upper house. According to parliamentary sources, the salary associated with that category would be around 3 million pesos monthly.
The position would have been created at the request of the missionary senator Martin Göerling Larawho succeeded De Ángeli as head of the PRO bloc in the Senate. From that bench he was incorporated as an advisor, along with other collaborators who work for the three legislators who currently make up the bloc.
In the parliamentary environment they comment that the Entre Ríos leader “He is having a hard time getting rid of the Senate”after a long stay in Congress. De Ángeli had reached the Upper House in 2013 and was re-elected in 2019, consolidating a career of more than a decade in the national legislative sphere.
His political career began much earlier, in 2008during the conflict between the government of Cristina Kirchner and the countryside for Resolution 125which established mobile withholdings on grain exports. In that context, De Ángeli became one of the visible faces of the road closures in Gualeguaychú and a media symbol of ruralist protest.
From those origins as an agricultural leader to his time in the Senate, almost two decades passed. Now, after the end of his mandate, the former legislator will continue to be linked to Congress from a technical role within the PRO bloc, maintaining a presence in the parliamentary structure even without occupying a seat.
In the corridors of the Senate they point out that the designation would not be an isolated case. According to legislative sources, He would not be the only member of the De Ángeli family with an appointment within the upper housein the midst of a climate marked by the proliferation of temporary plant contracts after the parliamentary change.
