The tense session of the Chamber of Deputies last Thursday showed an opposition that hardened its position in anticipation of the announcement of next Tuesday the verdict in the road casewhere among the 13 defendants in the oral trial is Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
In Deputies, the interblock of Together for Change resolved to tense its relationship with Kirchnerism after the president of the body, Cecilia Moreauwill block the designation of the legislative representatives before the Council of the Magistracy.
The response was not to allow him to continue as head of the body, which caused a session to fail in which the creation of new universities was going to be voted on and which ended with insults and cross accusations between the different benches.
The hardening of the opposition’s attitude occurs in advance of the fact that next Tuesday the Federal Oral Court 2 publicize the verdict of the oral trial in which the concession of road works during the Fernández de Kirchner government period is being investigated and where the Vice President was accused of having led an illegal association.
Different sources consulted by Télam acknowledged that on Friday, and also over the weekend, there were and will be permanent communications from the opposition to see what position to adopt once the verdict is known.
Some leaders assure that finally there will be two communiqués to prepare for the eventuality of a acquittal or conviction verdict for Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
However, the focus of JxC’s concern is on possible protests that could lead to violence in the event of a verdict that points to the guilt of the Vice President.
The Government of Buenos Aires, for example, is already carefully analyzing the announced mobilizations and the potential danger that they may lead to incidents.
As interpreted by the opposition, in these situations -such as that of Congress or the verdict that is coming- in JxC the idea of unifying positions beyond the internal ones, crossed operations and electoral positions prevailed.
At the time of the internal quarrels of the opposition coalition, which continue despite the most important issues mentioned above, The anger of Mauricio Macri with the Buenos Aires Minister of Health Fernán Quirós transcendedrecently launched as a candidate for the Head of Government.
Macri, his relatives say, was upset because Quirós let it be known that he had spoken with the former president after his nomination, with the idea of conveying that in addition to Larreta’s support, he had Macri’s support.
From the side of the businessman and head of the FIFA Foundation, they have another version: they say that Quirós called him to tell him about his launch and Macri replied that his candidate in CABA is his cousin Jorge.
On the side of the radicals, Gerardo Morales and Facundo Manes They will appear together for the first time in a long time in Formosa, to present local candidates and give the idea of a united radicalism against a PRO in which the divisions of potential candidates abound.
Returning to the legislative level, in the opposition they consider the parliamentary year closed, making it very difficult for the other meeting scheduled for Deputies, which was scheduled for mid-December, to materialize in this climate.
