The Frente de Todos block in the Senate, led by the man from Formosa Jose Mayansgave freedom of action for the session that will be held this Thursday by the plenary session of the Upper House and The complete package of political ambassadors proposed by Javier Milei will have the green light.

The general vision is also shared by the ruling party and the anti-Kirchnerist opposition, who recognize that The endorsement of a trusted candidate chosen by the President cannot be mixed with the Government’s foreign policyabout which they will make considerations from different forces in the venue.

As this media learned, the candidates for political ambassadors who will have approval unanimously of the Senate will be Gerardo Werthein (USA), Guillermo Nielsen (Paraguay), Mariano Caucino (India), Ian Sielecki (France), Sonia Cavallo (Organization of American States-OAS) and Axel Wahnish (Israel).

The last nomination presented problems during its treatment in the Agreements commission. However, even the radical Martin Lousteauwho took a week to sign his document, will vote on it in the precinct, according to what they confided to Infobae from the Radical Civic Union, chaired by the Corrientes Eduardo Vischi.

In the Peronist conclave this Wednesday, in which the governor of Formosa also participated at times, Gildo Insfran -collected provincial complaints about funds-, Kirchnerism ruled out for now the truce offered by the ruling party to Mayans on the distribution and integration of the commissions.

To understand the context of this movement we must go back to last December 13, when a conglomerate of the ruling party and the non-Kirchnerist opposition voted for authorities and pushed for a distribution on the integration of commissions that relegated the Frente de Todos from the power scheme, which is the first minority in the Senate, with 33 legislators. That is to say, four from the actual quorum.

This vote left the so-called group of 39 – that number is increasingly further removed from reality – with 11 seats, in the commissions of 19; and 10, in those of 17. In the failed extraordinary sessions, Kirchnerism sent representatives; for the ordinary ones that began on March 1, no.

On Wednesday of last week, it was striking that, in some commissions that had the green light, 10 legislators from the ruling party and the non-Kirchnerist opposition appeared, instead of 11. In response to queries made by this medium, from an office in the Upper House they slipped that left some extra places for the Frente de Todos, with the aim of achieving an understanding regarding integration. The combo was completed with the presidency of 10 commissions, a reason for consultation in the Mayans bench, which they decided to discard.

For tomorrow’s session, some privilege issues are expected – such as that of the camper Anabel Fernández Sagasti against the libertarian Francisco Paolotroni– at the beginning of the meeting. Then, they will go on to vote on ambassadors and various international treaties. The last ones were ruled days ago in the Foreign Relations commissions; and Budget and Finance of the upper house.

With the session, the Senate will seek to emerge from the lethargy after the rejection of the mega Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) that deregulates the economy and show a different tune from that of Deputies, where projects accumulate and the treatment of the omnibus law is delayed filleted In the Lower House the analysis of the fiscal package will begin tomorrow.

While waiting for the definitions of Deputies, the Senate is preparing to receive the Chief of Staff in May, Nicolas Posse, who will give the first report of the Milei management. Legislators have already sent hundreds of questions and it will be the official’s first presentation in Congress since the La Libertad Avanza government began.
