Behind the defeat suffered by the ruling party in the Chamber of Deputies due to a mixture of amateurism and arrogance, the president decided to divide the chamber (or perhaps the country) into loyalists and traitors. In addition to the deep disdain for democracy, dissent and politics itself, Javier Milei strains the weak support of his government with accusations full of violence and, what is worse, said with the impunity of a social network soliloquy.
The enemies, the traitors, are the deputies that he and his group of inexperienced negotiators believed they had in their pockets. So are the governors to whom, they maintain, those deputies respond.
Rodrigo de Loredo from Cordoba, perhaps the most official expression within radicalism, was eloquent among the “dialoguists.” In statements that seem to have been made on the couch, he had warned the day before the fateful session: “We will not change our minds because Milei insults us.”
La Libertad Avanza has the legislative representation of 29% of the votes it obtained in the general election, not the 55% of the second round.
In the midst of so many improvisers and specialists in social networks, the Rio Negro (turned Buenos Aires native) Miguel Pichetto did everything possible to save the clothes of the ruling party. He even told them “don’t be idiots” in a tone that for those who know him sounded even paternal.
The United Provinces
Argentina has as its precedent the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata, that trial of a country created after the May Revolution, with Buenos Aires as the political center, a place that never gave up and for which it fought until it was reaffirmed.
The governors of those provinces and those that were added in the following 200 years are the countrybut the national government insists on treating them as junior partners in distant lands and pretends to make them submissive.
If you do not review the strategy, the political crisis will worsen.
