To put pressure, they now say that they are thinking about holding a large event in the Córdoba Town Hall in front of a crowd, but without authorities. In the Casa Rosada there is strong discomfort with Villarruel due to the delay in the ruling. In addition, they accuse radicalism of boycotting May 25 and target the PRO for its internal

After the new postponement, last night, of the opinion of committees in the Senate on the Bases Law project and the fiscal pact, concern is growing in the Government about the lack of consensus to obtain votes in the Senate, and they are exploring alternatives to pressure with the May Pact. Yesterday they had slipped that they could postpone the date until June, or even July, but Javier Milei is considering holding the event on May 25 with a total change of format, without politicians, and with a "very spicy" speech against the leadership.
The May Pact ceremony was initially planned at the Palace of Justice, with the presence of most of the governors, some former presidents, leaders of political parties, and representatives of all areas of public life, from unionism to the Church. . That day, the provincial leaders and Milei would sign the 10-point document for the development of the country that the President presented with all pomp in the Legislative Assembly.
But the plans began to get complicated this week, when several senators that the Government assumed would support the Bases law began to question their support during the debate in committees. And the President, concerned about not appearing as the great loser, had considered postponing it until June or July, as he said yesterday after the event for the bust of Carlos Menem. But today, in a climate of effervescence at Balcarce 50, he decided that, if the law is not approved, he will carry out the May Pact anyway, but without “the caste.”
The 10 points of the May Pact
The place, in this case, would be the Cabildo of Córdoba. And there would not be a single guest from “politics,” not even the host governor, Martín Llaryora, who this week showed discomfort over the plans to delay the event due to the lack of law. The signatories, in such a scenario, would be the citizens themselves. “If the policy does not support, the pact will be signed with the citizens,” they explained. Not everything has been said, and there are several leaders who insist that it be maintained. This afternoon, for example, Maximiliano Pullaro from Santa Fe said, as if nothing had happened, that he was determined to attend because he “believes in the importance of dialogue.”
The decision to change the format of the political event would be made on Friday if the ruling party was unable to issue an opinion and gather the will for a general vote in favor of the venue. If it does not come out that day, they will not have time to approve it, especially if they respect the seven-day period between the ruling and the debate in the chamber imposed by the Senate regulations.
They are not optimistic, and they point against the radicals, especially Martín Lousteau, and incipiently, against PRO. Although most of the yellow troops fervently accompanied them in the Deputies, the critical position of the Buenos Aires senator Guadalupe Tagliaferri put them on guard against all of her partners. “We are not interested in their inmates, the PRO promised to support and is not doing so,” said an operator who frequents Karina and Javier Milei.

In the Casa Rosada, a climate of strong discomfort was imposed due to the delays, but not only with the allies. Once again the anger rested on the president of the Senate, Victoria Villarruel, who had already been beaten for rejecting the DNU weeks ago. “You have to ask Victoria,” said an advisor very close to Milei about the difficulties in the Senate. In the Government House there was anger over the loss of an entire day of debate due to the presentation of the first report by the Chief of Staff, Nicolás Posse. “It could have been done quietly another day, not right now,” they said.
In the Senate they showed enough of the questions, which continue to be repeated despite the attempts to mend the bond between the vice president and the Milei brothers. The Senate Presidency said that Posse's briefing had been scheduled since April, that he attended willingly, that last week he had been in the Senate to tour the facilities and that there was no possibility of postponing it.
“The Constitution says that they must come every month. We're already in May, it was good that he came now. “The Senate has rules and the rules are there to be followed,” said a House official. And he said that the vice president had proposed it twenty days ago. “This is defined first and voted on later. It is not like in the Executive, where meetings are passed without problems. That is what they do not fully understand about the functioning of Congress,” they said, regarding the questions that came from Balcarce 50.
And they assured that Villarruel did not get involved in the negotiations because she was, directly, “excluded” from the strategy. “In the Deputies they put all the irons, and they believed that in the Senate it would come out as if through a tube. There does not seem to be a political dimension to what is happening,” they said in Parliament.
The Government is convinced that the “hardcore” opponents wanted to boycott the May Pact, and they suspect that the Vice President herself paved the way for them to hinder the passage of the Bases Law, with its privatizations, deregulations, labor reforms and incentive regime for the large investments that they consider key to improving the economy in the severe crisis. Be that as it may, they believe they will win . In that case, Milei will be able to say that she was right when she announced, on March 1, that she did not trust that she would accompany him.
