The senator for Formosa from La Libertad Avanza Francisco Paoltroni rejected the measure, but assured that Argentines have a “mathematics” problem when comparing the increase in allowances with the expropriation of YPFwhich Cristina Kirchner promoted when she was president in 2012. She also said that, “if society is scandalized,” the leaders should be “hanged in a square.”
As Paoltroni specified, he was not in the room at the time of the vote, but he was aware of the move executed by Salta senator Juan Carlos Romero and which received great support in the upper house. Along these lines, and in statements to Radio With Youthe man from Formosa indicated: “There are particular situations for each senator. “If society is scandalized, they would have to go find those who voted for the expropriation of YFP and hang them in a public square.”.
“No one talks about that. The increase (of the senators) is not even 5 million dollars a year and the expropriation of YPF is 16 billion dollars. We Argentines also have a math problem,” the libertarian continued. Beyond Paoltroni’s comparison, the provincial representative disagreed: “This whole situation it bothers me and bothers me. There is the confusion of who was there and who was not. It was not transparent. The regulations say that you have to vote out loud if you are against.”
Authoritarians don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That is why it bothers those who believe they are the owners of the truth.
This week a critical movement is expected in the corridors of the Upper House. Yesand projects will be intertwined to roll back the increase in allowances, as well as another bill presented by José Mayans, weeks ago, to set salaries in the three branches of the State. According to this text, the officials who hold the positions named above They could not earn more than 20 minimum wages, currently set at $202,800. Therefore, they would receive, at most, $4,056,000. While in the case of ministers, secretaries, undersecretaries, Central Bank, judges, among others, it will be 15 minimum salaries: an equivalent of $3,042,000.
“They don’t tell me how things are because they know I have language problems.”Paoltroni revealed against his bench colleagues and admitted: “I am new and I have no practice in handling the regulations”. “I would have proposed debate and electronic voting. I had to give explanations in Formosa for what I did not vote for,” the senator remarked and took the opportunity to affirm that there should be a political reform: “There cannot be elections every two years because everyone is thinking about the next elections and that is the most harmful there is. This model did not largely lead to failure.”
Martín Lousteau defended the increase in senators
Martin Lousteaunational senator and president of the Radical Civic Union, Last Friday he defended his vote in favor of increasing the salary of the members of the Upper House. The legislator assured that the measure was agreed upon with all the block holders and justified it by alleging that the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, “was charging three times more.”
“We all vote. The reason why one raises his hand and the other does not, at that moment I was talking to Guadalupe (Tagliaferri), when you do not vote with first and last name it is because there was a prior consensus in Parliamentary Labor,” he explained about the curious sequence in the one who slightly raises her hand to vote affirmatively, and stressed: “I don’t do anything sneaky.”
The government announced that INCAA will close its doors to relocate staff and reassign tasks
“All the block presidents sat down and said ‘let’s do this.’ It was already agreed, and one of La Libertad Avanza signed the project”he added. Then, in reference to voting, he pointed out: “When we vote without identifying ourselves, if you don’t want to vote, you have to raise your hand and say ‘I want my vote to be recorded’ or ‘I want to abstain’ or ask for permission. And nobody did that. It was previously agreed upon by everyone”.
To defend the increase in the legislators’ diet, the radical leader made reference to the promotion of the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, to the rank of Secretary of State, which led to an increase in his salary. According to the remuneration received by the higher authorities of the Executive Branch, in February 2024 an official at that level earned $4,864,945. “It doesn’t seem right to me that the president’s spokesperson earns three times more than a senator.. “It doesn’t seem right to me that a senator’s salary is the initial salary of a bank teller,” he said.
