Several cooperative governors made a decisive contribution so that Javier Milei could block the University funding law in the Chamber of Governors, but the most important information was provided by the 27 legislators who graduated from the national universities and supported the decision of the libertarian. government to financially suffocate the public university.
PRO
The Macristas were the ones who gave the most votes (13) to support the presidential baton on the financing of universities: Diego Santilli, Sabrina Ajmechet (also a teacher), Alejandro Finocchiaro (former Minister of Education ), Silvia Lospennato, Hernán Lombardi, Sofía Brambilla and Gabriela Besana, graduates of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA); Alejandro Bongionvanni, Luciano Laspina and Germana Figueroa Casas from the National University of Rosario (UNR); Emmanuel Bianchetti from the North West National University (UNdN); Laura Rodríguez Machado from the National University of Córdoba (UNC); and Patricia Vásquez from the National University of General San Martín (UNGSM).
The only exception in the PRO was the vice president Alvaro González from the National University of Litoral (UNL) who voted to support the financial law.
Libertarians
Among the libertarians, 12 of their deputies who supported Milei’s vote were also trained at the public university: José Luis Espert, Alida Ferreyra, Lorena Macyszyn and Guillermo Montenegro (UBA); Romina Diez and Nicolás Mayoraz (UNR); Facundo Correa Llano and Mercedes Llano at the National University of Cuyo (UNdC); Julio Moreno Ovalle, María Emilia Orozco and Carlos Zapata at the National University of Salta (UNS); and Jorge Santiago Pauli (teacher in public institutions).
The UCR and the MID
Of the four violet radicals who abandoned the position of the majority of their bloc and supported Milei’s veto, only Mariano Campero went to the National University of Tucumán (UNT); and the fifth, Pablo Cervi from the National University of Comahue (UNdC).
Among the libertarian allies of the MID are university graduates Eduardo Falcone (UBA) and María Cecilia Ibanez (UNC). The absence of lawyer Schiarettista Alejandra Torres (UNC) also added to the hump.
The governors
Not only the Peronist governors of Tucumán, Córdoba and Catamarca (see separately) made way for Milei in the Lower House. The pressures, calls, negotiations, agreements and benefits that the Casa Rosada put on other Governors and the deputies who responded to it, in the days before yesterday’s session, produced results, not h -all that was expected but was enough to fill his own. a basket
The missionary governor Hugo Passalacqua, from the Concord Renewal Front, made an agreement that apparently would not leave them standing side by side with the Government but to which they would greatly contribute: the four deputies who answered and who ‘ make up the interference Federal Innovation. (Alberto Arrúa, Carlos Fernández, Yamila Ruíz and Daniel Vancsik) have changed the vote for university funding that they issued in August (when the Deputy Ministers gave them half control) for the person who was now avoiding With which Passalacqua removed 4 votes from the opposition who were trying to confirm the law.
Others, with less numerical strength, completed their votes but took away numbers from the opposition. The governor of Santa Cruz, Claudio Vidal, a Peronist who allied with the PRO and part of the UCR defeated Kirchnerism in the Patagonian province, shared the position of his two deputies from the Por Santa Cruz bloc who were counted as safe votes for the opposition. (as they did in August), but José Garrido did this time for Milei’s veto.
The Governor of Salta, Gustavo Sáenz, of the Salteña Identity Party, which included sections of massismo and macrismo in opposition to the election, did the same. Of the three deputy representatives who responded – they are also members of the Federal Innovation intervention – and who had voted and spoke for the universities, one of them was not present at the session: Yolanda Vega.
