He said this in the press conference organized after the mobilization and told to what extent he is ready to go. Press to senators and ultimately dirty with doubt Approval of law. “If we continue to talk with Peronist senators about what They know you can’t vote on any law Where state companies are privatized, income tax returns and they want to eliminate compensation?
