Everything broke: Bullrich targets Macri over Chubut rebellion the third one who lives in the shadows

Patricia Bullrich made her move with a letter signed by PRO leaders, questioning Governor of Chubut Ignacio Torres (PRO’s). In their dispute with the national government. Although the letter does not include important party figures, those around Bullrich consider it part of a strategy.“Bring Mauricio Macri out of hiding and define yourself.” People around the Security Minister view the silence of the former President with increasing suspicion. Some of them also suspect that Macri is behind the entire conflict. Brutal strategy of attacking and then negotiating,

What is known: the relationship between Macri and Bullrich, once strong, has broken down since they negotiated the entry of him and Louis Petry into the Meily government and before reaching a framework agreement with Meily. Destroyed the President’s efforts so that PRO cadres would enter his government. Since then, there have been no talks between Bullrich and Macri. Macri will take over as president of PROSomething that Bullrich tried to avoid at all costs.

Chubut-Macri affair

In Chubut’s conflict with the Nation, there are two sectors of the PRO that clearly aligned themselves: Leretismo stood behind the governors of Together for Change, and Bullrich for its part played for Miley, even That even against his party. But there is also a third who lies in the shadows: Macri.

it is known The former president met with Ignacio Torres and Entre Ríos Governor Rogelio Frigerio. Before conflict broke out. Some versions indicate that he also tried to mediate with the Meili government, but came to the conclusion that no negotiations were possible. This resulted in Versions cooled that a summit between Macri and Miley was imminent And they were about to close an agreement so that PRO and La Libertad Avanza would have an interbloc and even form an electoral front for the midterm elections. All this, for a moment, went into oblivion.

But those around Bullrich suspect Macri has a more active role in Case Than Chubut would be willing to accept. “Macri is silent and so he is complicit in what Torres is doing,” says someone close to the minister. If you hurry them up a little, they He directly believes that Macri is behind everything, One hypothesis is that Macri sent governors to pressure Miley to come to the base and negotiate what would be the colonization of the cabinet. Others have a more psychological theory: that Macri cannot afford Miley to achieve what he could not do during his tenure.

In fact, the letter Bullrich drafted and for which he collected signatures puts its finger on the Achilles heel of gradualism. What to say “Progress was made very slowly and with a great deal of caution.” Criticism from Bullrich to Macri in a document that was on letterhead with PRO logo, An unimaginable scenario months ago.

Against the governors, the security minister said that “no member of the PRO can agree or validate the threat of confiscating private property,” and that “It was obscene to make this threat.”

The crop of signatures was not everything they wanted. In addition to the minister’s entourage (Damian Arabia, Juan Pablo Arenaza, Fernando Iglesias), there are Federico Pinedo, mayor of Tres de Febrero, Diego Valenzuela, Pablo Tonelli, Claudio Avruz, but also other leaders closest to Macri, such as Federico Angelini, and Eduardo Laertista leaders like Macchiavelli.

“Now it depends on Macri,” they say around Bullrich. ,Don’t you want to be the person who chairs the PRO? Well, you have to define yourself and break out of the silence,” he urges her.

Broken bridges between Bullrich and Macrista PRO

The letter movement was not free. This created a rift between the field of governors and legislators who answered to Bullrich. In fact, The Torres-Frigerio pair had planned a meeting with delegates which was suspended, They did not want to repeat the unsuccessful picture at the beginning of the Miley government, where Together for Change governors wanted to show political and parliamentary strength and Bullrich leaders came to spit on them.

The meeting, which was scheduled to take place via Zoom at 4 pm tomorrow, was also attended by members of the Cristian Ritondo-led bloc, as well as other leaders such as head of government George Macri. like everyone else, After the letter published by Bullrich, he saw a slow-moving train accident, he decided to suspend, Of course, the official explanation was another: Torres was going to wait for Chubut to speak before the Legislature about the dispute with the nation. They agreed to try to get together again in a few days, perhaps when the anger had subsided.

All this comes amid Bullrich’s efforts to make Macri’s arrival at the presidency of the PRO as smooth as possible and keep his own people in key positions. Just as there are some bullrichistas who believe that Macri secretly promotes conflict, There is no shortage of McCristas who believe Bullrich is working with Miley’s orders to divest PRO. The atmosphere of distrust is increasing.
