They want to kick Eiben out of the Milei block and the man from Córdoba denounced “institutional terrorism”

There is controversy in the Mercosur Parliament. A group of legislators from La Libertad Avanza wants to expel Rodolfo Eiben, elected to represent Córdoba in the supranational body, from the bloc.

The move is part of a strong internal conflict that libertarians are experiencing in Parlasur, based on Eiben’s decision, along with other legislators, to try to remove Alfredo Olmedo from Salta from the presidency of the parliament.

It all started when the Argentine delegation presented a letter on Thursday, March 14, in which they asked to remove the presidency of Parlasur from Olmedo, which corresponds to Argentina.

The request had 31 signatures out of a total of 43 members.

According to what they said, the Argentines had experienced “the absolute loss of confidence” of the national delegation “in the performance of the functions carried out by said parliamentarian, the excess of its powers.”

In addition, they accused him of “having failed to comply with the consensual will of the parliamentarians regarding the integration of the Commissions.”

Although La Libertad Avanza does not have a majority (it has 13 parliamentarians), thanks to an agreement, which Unión por la Patria endorsed, it managed to get Olmedo to become president of the body since that place this year belongs to our country.

But then, as was said, the position of the majority of Argentine parliamentarians changed and they went for dismissal. “The same people who put me in now want to displace me,” Olmedo told Infobae.

Expelled?

The internal conflict in Parlasur opened a Córdoba chapter, since Eiben was left in the middle of the dispute (he was one of the signatories of the note) and now a group of seven parliamentarians presented a note to expel him from the La Libertad Avanza blockade.

The reason? Those who want to fire him argue “repeated immoral Alliance misconduct.”

In a note signed by parliamentarians Héctor Ocaña, Jorge Santilli, Julio Gutiérrez, Patricio Villegas, Soledad Pedernera, Brenda Balbuena, Ivan Dubois, Miriam del Carmen Niveyro, Mario Nallar and Olmedo himself, among others, the representatives of La Libertad Avanza They affirm that Eiben was also “functional” to the opponents by acting “against the morals and own interests” of the electoral alliance.

“The only thing they do is institutional terrorism,” Eiben told this medium, and added. “Those who signed that note have no background at the institutional level, they are highly questioned characters and they respond to the interests of senior national leaders.”

According to the businessman, elected to Parlasur on the La Libertad Avanza list for Córdoba in the last national elections, two issues are mixed against him: on the one hand, his decision to go against Olmedo, whom he accuses of being an “authoritarian.” ” and not being up to the position he occupies; and on the other, the intention of Córdoba leaders to “empty” the Democratic Party (which he presides over) to keep the seal.

“Olmedo is an authoritarian. He intervened in some commissions and wanted to take control of an area in charge of Parlasur funds. And when his continuity began to be in danger, he closed the microphones and called his own supporters to intimidate,” explained Eiben, who also pointed out that he delayed the last session so much that Paraguayans and Uruguayans had to leave the premises.

“That saved him from being dismissed,” he said.

The dispute promises more chapters, with Eiben as the protagonist. “I am still in my place, working as president of the International Relations Commission. I came to that. To help the country as a legislator. And if anyone has another interest, I am waiting for them to tell me directly,” he warned.

What’s wrong with the Democratic Party? The provincial Electoral Justice sanctioned those responsible for the electoral alliance that competed in last year’s provincial elections. (for not having submitted in a timely manner the documented account of all the income and expenses incurred by the electoral campaign).

“They say that the party, of which I am president, wants to intervene in me, there are people interested in taking over the party… I am also waiting for them,” Eiben stated.

While Olmedo’s continuity is being debated, the man from Salta took a photo that gives him air. Last Wednesday, April 3, he was received by Javier Milei in Olivos.

“During the meeting, Milei gave him his full support in order to deepen his work in the regional Parliament,” says the note published on the Parlasur website, today run by Olmedo himself.

In parallel, parliamentarians Patricio Villegas, Soledad Pedernera, Brenda Balbuena, Jorge Santilli, Ivan Dubois, Miriam del Carmen Niveyro, Mario Nallar, Nestor Ocaña, Fabricio Cascino and Julio Gutierrez held a meeting in the Foreign Ministry.

Yes, the same ones who signed the expulsion note for Eiben.

“During the meeting, Chancellor Diana Mondino and her work team stopped by to greet them, supporting the management of President Alfredo Olmedo,” the note closes.

Let’s talk

Last year, Argentina elected 43 representatives to the subcontinental deliberative body (24 regional, for each of the provinces; and 19 per single district, elected directly).

Parlasur has 186 seats in total and in the case of Argentina, the renovation was complete.
