[News] Agreement with the IMF: defeated, Cristina Kirchner leaves the ruling party in the Senate free to act

[Inkriql]

After the negotiations in Deputies unlocked the agreement with the International Monetary Fund that was approved this morning, all eyes now point to the group of followers of Cristina Kirchner in the Senate, the last focus of resistance against the understanding that persists in the legislative field .

With no margin to play against the project of the Executive Branch, especially after the overwhelming support it received in the lower house, the vice president (who released a video today about the stones that were thrown against her office yesterday) translated that relief into her decision to leave the ruling bloc in the Senate free to act so that everyone can vote as they see fit.

 

This is how he freed the head of the caucus, José Mayans (Formosa), so that he could define with the Casa Rosada the treatment schedule of the agreement in the Upper House, which will begin next Monday, starting at 3:00 p.m., with the presence the team of the Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán, and the Chief of Staff, Juan Manzur, before the Budget and Treasury Commission, chaired by the official Ricardo Guerra (La Rioja).

 

 

From the main opposition interbloc they agreed to answer the poll of the official leader of the Senate. They will do so after consulting their senators and with an X-ray of how the members of Together for Change, and also the ruling party, voted in the lower house.

The response of the opposition bench is key to speeding up the times and meeting the next installment of the loan taken by the administration of Mauricio Macri, whose expiration date is March 22.

Everything indicates that the opposition conglomerate will give the green light to the ruling party's request. Thus, Kirchnerism will be spared the disgrace of a loan with the IMF, requested by a Peronist government, receiving approval from Congress just a few hours before March 24, an emblematic date for the sectors that respond to the vice president.

"It would be very bad," responded a pro-government legislator when asked by this newspaper about the risk that the sanction of the agreement ends up being achieved shortly before the date that commemorates the 1976 coup d'état.

Defeated by the harsh reality of the imminent abyss of default, which was demonstrated in the ruling party's willingness to accept the changes to the project demanded by the opposition in the Chamber of Deputies, the resistance of the Front of All to the agreement with the IMF will be reduced to toughest sector of Kirchnerism.
