The owner of the PRO, Patricia Bullrich, insisted this Tuesday on recommending to the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodriguez Larretato take charge and “maintain” the decisions that it adopts in the City if it wants to have the support of the rest of the leadership of Together for Change (JxC), after a lunch in the Costanera Norte area of the capital, where the leadership of the opposition coalition claimed to have “settled” their internal debate.
“We consider this fact closed and we have decided that when the City Government takes measures, after consulting all of us regarding the support it needs, You must stick to your decision.; Otherwise, what the City Government has to do is not ask and that way it can have the decision to take charge of the decisions it makes,” Bullrich told the press after lunch.
He even stressed that, in this way, when Rodríguez Larreta adopts a measure within the framework of his administration, it will be “his decision and not everyone’s decision.”
Thus, although the majority of the PRO leaders guaranteed at the doors of the Happening restaurant that there had been “settled” the internal debate In the two hours of talk in front of the waters of the Río de la Plata, Bullrich dedicated the communal chief concepts similar to the ones I had already used last weekendwhen Rodríguez Larreta withdrew the controversial fence with which he had ordered to fence the home of Vice President Cristina Fernández.
In addition to Bullrich and Rodríguez Larreta, the former president also participated in the lunch Mauricio Macriwho only made comments when entering the place and, true to his style, when the press asked him about the expectations of the meeting, he replied: “Eat well.”
Also present were the Minister of the Buenos Aires Government, Jorge Macri; the national deputy and former governor of Buenos Aires Maria Eugenia Vidalthe former Secretary General of the Presidency Ferdinand de Andreisthe national deputy Christian Ritondo and the national senator Humberto Schiavoni.
“We have maintained a position and we have sustained it in the sense that society must be protected and one cannot live in anomie and in a country without law; we maintained this position that the law is the centrality of JxC,” said Bullrich. . Later, recommended to Rodríguez Larreta that he take responsibility for the decisions he adoptsfor example, in terms of maintaining or not the fence in the vicinity of the former president’s house.
Vidal considered, after lunch, that the internal differences are “a finished issue” and relativized the volume of the clashes inside the alliance.
“She already gave her opinion, for us it is a finished topic; we already discussed everything within the party; internal discussions are not in the public interest,” Vidal told reporters outside the restaurant.
In addition, he stated that JxC’s “responsibility” is “to govern the City of Buenos Aires and have the best government plan for 2023.”
Vidal also added his view of the role of the City Police: “It has the responsibility of guaranteeing peace and tranquility for the neighbors and that the demonstrations are not detrimental to coexistence in the neighborhood.”
For his part, Ritondo, former minister of Vidal, claimed the power of Rodríguez Larreta in relation to the police operation: “The one that solves is the City of Buenos Aires, together with its team.”
Similarly, the legislator and former Buenos Aires deputy chief Diego Santilli He stated that “the episode was discussed and discussed” and, regarding the internal differences, he replied: “Those things we talk to each other.”
At the doors of the Costanera restaurant, Ritondo also dodged the question about a complaint made days ago in the media by the founder of the Civic Coalition, Elisa Carriowho assured that he was the victim of espionage by Bullrich’s decision during the Cambiemos government.
“Patricia has done an excellent job as Minister of Security and did not do anything outside the law,” guaranteed the former minister of that area in Buenos Aires territory.
“During the government of (Mauricio) Macri I also suffered threats, so I asked for custody. Patricia Bullrich was the minister. She sent me the Federal and the Federal stood 30 meters away to spy on me”warned Carrió, and said that he asked for those policemen to take over.
All in all, the internal short circuits had their maximum expression in Bullrich’s statements in recent days: “Horacio, if you are going to start an operation, put it out! I don’t want people to start saying ‘I am going to vote for Together for Change , but they are going to be so weak that the same thing is going to happen to them, they are going to take them out”.
Meanwhile, the results of a meeting of the Buenos Aires table of Together for Change at the Recoleta Cultural Center were awaited, with the presence of Rodríguez Larreta, but this time together with Jorge Macri, Fernando Straface, Emiliano Yacobitti, Martín Lousteau, Ricardo López Murphy and Martín Ocampo, among other leaders, several of them legislators.
