Misgivings between Zago and Martín Menem over the handling of the agreements

At the beginning of December, when the president Javier Miley chose Martin Menemthe nephew of the former president, as head of the Chamber of Deputies, at the same time, the former radical PRO, Oscar Zagowas anointed in charge of the La Libertad Avanza bloc.

But the relationship started badly. When the chair of the presidency of the lower house was still empty, Zago had a meeting in harsh terms: he asked him to control the positions, such as the administrative secretary, so they could work together. Menem refused. And Daniel “el Tano” Angelici’s former partner – they fought hard years ago – responded that he was going to “wait until March” to see how things went.

Martín Menem said that they are going to continue lowering expenses and spoke about a cut in the deputies’ diet

Two weeks later that link is still bad. Zago grumbles through the parliamentary corridors. He says that Menem is not being able to obtain majorities and, privately, he joins the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos, in his anger. It’s more: The president of the libertarian caucus was unaware of the content of the Omnibus Law that the Casa Rosada sent to Parliament. He found out the day that Francos and Menem took a photograph and the megalaw was hand-delivered.

Even Zago himself confided that he had not read the project of more than 600 articles that the head of state sent with his cabinet. He didn’t even know the exact time. Nor was it going to be filmed and uploaded to social networks as an important fact for the ruling party.

Another key issue that they look at in LLA: the Minister of the Interior has been rehearsing an agreement with the people of Córdoba so that they have greater power within the premises. “We know that we have to agree and that we have to have allies, but we found out everything on Twitter. Do you think we are painted?”, one of the national legislators of LLA resigned to PERFIL.

Perhaps for this reason it was striking that there were not many spokespersons for the bloc parading through the media and even the Buenos Aires legislator Ramiro Marra, who does not hold any national position, was one of the media defenders.

We will have to see how the libertarian deputies are positioned in the distribution of commissions, but nothing predicts a good place for the majority of them. Milei said that her management “is dedicated to ending inflation and avoiding hyperinflation.”
