After the fall of the omnibus law in Deputies and despite the catharsis carried out days ago by the libertarian bloc, a group of legislators from the bench led by Oscar Zago agitated for a break in the ruling party over the long weekend. The objective is to have greater visibility and prominence ahead of the start of ordinary sessions, which will begin next March 1.
“Instead of helping, they aggravate the issue. This occurs because a couple of legislators asked to remain on the commissions that debated the initiative or even preside over them and they were not even consulted. Same situation for the definition of authorities of the Upper House . What is unusual is that, after what happened with the omnibus law, they want to hit the ruling party itself ,” a source with direct access to Deputies and the Casa Rosada told Infobae.
In fact, from a couple of offices of Deputies and other libertarian spaces of power they slipped into this medium that there is a particular person, of the five or six now critics, who has already "picked up the bad habits of politics" and demanded a commission for when the ordinary sessions open as a condition for remaining on the official bench.
“ The information came to us late. Sometimes we didn't know what we were about to discuss or what had been negotiated. There was a lot of disorder ,” they said from the conglomerate that was upset not only with Zago, but mainly with the head of the Lower House, Martín Menem.
According to reports from La Libertad Avanza, of the three commissions that intervened on the omnibus law, the Casa Rosada gave the order to give José Luis Espert - an official ally of Avanza Libertad - the Budget and Finance commission in the lower house, while Menem he lowered the order on the other two. One of these is the General Legislation, which went to Gabriel Bornoroni from Córdoba , who was exposed in front of his colleagues and the rest of the opposition.

Meanwhile, the group that defends Zago expressed that it was very complex to decipher, in the midst of simultaneous negotiations, the messages that officials from the Casa Rosada sent from time to time such as the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos , or the presidential advisor himself. , Santiago Caputo. “ It was difficult because not even we had the information. There was no concealment, but there are issues that were settled with governors and we found out late ,” they detailed from the ruling party.

To have a dimension of what happened, the day before the particular vote that ended in a harsh defeat for La Libertad Avanza, the legislators of the “dialogue” opposition had at least five versions of each article or subsection in dispute, a panorama of almost impossible solution within hours of the meeting , which ended with the return of the project to committees and the discussion to a clean sheet.
With Milei's return to the country, definitions are expected on a potential extension of the extraordinary sessions - the Senate must sanction the law that reinforces the fight against money laundering - and whether or not the head of state will speak or not on March 1 before the Legislative Assembly. In the middle, the back and forth between the ruling party and the Pro also appears to reinforce an understanding and formal union of benches that, for now, seems distant.
After what happened, the Deputies do not foresee any activity for the next few days and are closely monitoring the future of the mega Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) that deregulates the economy. In the Upper House, several blocks have already demanded that Menem appoint the members of deputies for the bicameral commission on Legislative Procedure, which analyzes this type of regulations. Meanwhile, Kirchnerism once again requested a special session and the head of the Senate, Victoria Villarruel , is resisting the activation of the venue for now.
