The Senate reopened its doors this Thursday and in a short session gave its approval to the controversial nomination of the former senator. Lucila Crexell as political ambassador of Canada and accelerated the entry of 78 judicial documents requested by the Minister of Justice Juan Bautista Mahiques. In addition, he endorsed the promotion of the three military leaders.
With 45 votes in favor and 26 against, the appointment of the Neuquén woman was finalized, who was once again denounced by Peronism, which accuses her of accessing the position of ambassador as a result of giving her vote to the libertarian government when the Bases Law was discussed.
“This Senate cannot be part of this criminal attitude and send to Canada an ambassador who is dirty, crossed out and denounced,” the Riojan woman said at the venue. Florence Lopez.
Likewise, he announced that the Justicialist bloc opposed the nomination of the candidate for “having accepted a bribe, a bribe, negotiating a position for her vote.” “The application of the former senator is the perfection of the crime contemplated in article 256 of the Penal Code: bribery or bribery,” he added.
The senator joined the repudiation Julieta Corrozawhich has a monoblock that represents the political space of the governor of Neuquén, Rolando Figueroa, called La Neuquinidad. At the public hearing of the Agreements Commission, Crexell had said that his vote was an agreement between the governor of his province and the Milei government.
In this context, Corroza recalled that the statements were denied by Figueroa. “We, those of La Neuquinidad, defend the people of Neuquén. We will never accompany the petition of a person who has voted against the pocket of the worker who gives so much to Neuquén,” he stated, adding that “he betrayed the people of Neuquén.”
In defense of Crexell, the president of La Libertad Avanza, Patricia Bullrichresponded to criticism that “there is a personal issue against the future ambassador, because she was twice elected by Neuquén, even though they now say that they do not want her. In two terms they elected her with votes from Neuquén, not from Buenos Aires.”
On the other hand, Bullrich celebrated that progress has been made with delayed military promotions. These are Oscar Santiago Zarich from the Army and Navy and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Juan Carlos Romay and Marcelo Alejandro Dalle Nogare.
Likewise, he noted as positive that the competition authorities were given the green light after a “rigorous mechanism, with more than 100 applicants registered with a competition” for an “autonomous institution” that will now have “the quality that our country needs to defend good practices, which are recommended by the OECD.”
However, since Peronism Fernando Salino He warned that his bloc – which has been demanding places on the commissions due to the proportionality of the space – among which is the Agreements Commission, which in the coming days will analyze the nomination of each magistrate. “Know that we will remind you that these meetings will be void because the opposition cannot participate as the regulations provide.”
Among the candidates who took parliamentary status on this day is that of Emilio Rosatti, son of the president of the Supreme Court, Horacio Rosatti, to occupy a position in a federal trial court in the city of Santa Fe. Also, the application of María Julia Sosa, secretary of Julián Ercolini’s court and that of Ana María Juan, wife of judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi who is in charge of the $LIBRA case.
Criticism of Milei and Mayans’ warning
The session began after 11 a.m. with 39 senators present. As usually happens in recent meetings, the space of the Peronism did not provide the number for the quorum. However, from the Justicialist bloc a series of privilege issues were raised against President Javier Milei and Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni.
In this context, Pampa native Daniel Bensusán criticized the discretion of the libertarian government regarding advances in co-participation to various provinces. The Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni, was also reviled by Kirchner legislators for his curious real estate developments. “This is a scam where the Nation extorts the provinces,” he shot.
For his part, the president of the Justicialist bloc Jose Mayans He requested a question of privilege against Milei, accusing him of being fully aware of what he was doing in the $Libra case. But, he also referred to Manuel Adorni: “As if that were not enough, in the midst of corruption, the chief of staff acquiring assets one year into his mandate, buying apartments, traveling in luxury.”
“They held a cabinet meeting to support the corrupt chief of staff. They were sad. As if this were not enough, the issue of credits appeared, that is, an open robbery,” he launched.
Mayans did not fail to forget the figure of the Minister of Deregulation, Federico Sturzenegger, who was in the Senate yesterday: “Flower of a son of a bitch”, “stupid” and “lives in a cloud of farts” the man from Formosa stated in relation to his figure.
“Do not wait for this to blow up, because, just as the same thing is happening as in 2001, we should already be examining an impeachment trial of the president, his sister and the chief of staff. Reflect, we still have time to reverse the situation,” he shot.
