While the definition of the head of the Bicameral Commission on Intelligence Activities is still pending, the framework of alliances of the national government is in danger, something that has been warning Miguel Angel Pichetto without success and increasingly distant from the Casa Rosada.
This tension between LLA and the dialoguing blocks becomes tangible in the unravelling of Martin Menem to protect the quorum in the sessions and the advancement of an agenda of that dialoguing opposition that includes from the Education financing law, the new retirement formula and now the rejection of the DNU which allocated 100 billion pesos for the SIDE.
The LLA internal conflict worsens in the House of Representatives where the block is splintered and without leadership. The “federals” are the majority sector after the fracture due to the departure of Oscar ZagoThe visit to the genocidaires in Ezeiza ended up breaking up a bench where there is also crossfire between its members.
