The senator Martin Lousteau (UCR) reiterated this Thursday that the endorsement that Patricia Bullrich gave to Javier Milei gave him “shame for others and his own” and, regarding the former president Mauricio Macri said that “he founded Mileimacrismo”, “so that they would not dispute his leadership”, something he defined as a “scam and betrayal.” He also reported that he learned of the support that the party would provide to La Libertad Avanza on the march and warned that, in the event that the elected head of the Buenos Aires government decides to also support Milei in the runoff, the coalition in the City would break up.
“Mauricio Macri left Together for Change and founded Macrimileísmo or Mileimacrismo“, outlined the radical senator and assured that the former president broke the coalition that he himself created: “He went to another political space”. For Lousteau, the press conference in which the former candidate expressed her support for the libertarian presidential candidate was about “a scam and a betrayal to everything that was said in the campaign and what JxC aspires to represent.” “Everything we said turns out that, due to the whim of a couple of people, it is not valid. And everything that we committed to do if we won, but also what we committed to fight, if we lost, there are people who think that we should not do it,” he added.
In interview with LN+Lousteau revealed that he was not informed about Bullrich’s announcement and commented: “I found out at that very moment. There were rumors in the morning. I called and wrote to Patricia and she didn’t answer me. I spoke with Horacio, and he told me that yes, there would be a press conference in which they were going to speak in a personal capacity”. However, since “the first thing they said was ‘we are here as a formula that represents six million votes'”, the senator affirms that Bullrich and Macri “they stopped speaking in a personal capacity.”
In that sense, Lousteau argued: “What would have happened if it had been the other way around? If Horacio and Gerardo Morales had sat down and said ‘we represent 2.7 million votes and then we go, for example, with Sergio Massa’. Everyone would have said ‘they left Together for Change,’” he reasoned. “This is exactly the same, they left,” he insisted, and stated that it was an intentional stance planned by Mauricio Macri: “It has a component of authoritarianism because it does not accept the rules of a coalition”he opined.
Then, he added: “Patricia Bullrich showed her face, but Macri, who we know is behind it, didn’t even dare to say what she thought. Me too I think that if things don’t go the way he wants, he will most likely leave this country, then he is playing with things that have no replacement and that are not going to affect him.”. Lousteau accused Macri of being “self-centered” and thinking about politics as if it were “a football game” and he acknowledged that the press conference made him more embarrassed than the election result on Sunday the 22nd.
Patricia Bullrich said that it seems “childish” that they want to “throw” her out of JxC: “I beat them all”
“Macri could have requested a PRO meeting, meet, establish an institutional position and, if he did not like the institutional position, say ‘I accept what my party and the coalition say, but I am personally going to vote for Milei’,” postulated the second vice president of the national UCR. “With today’s newspaper one sees what Macri did all this time: so that they would not dispute his leadership in the PRO, put a lot of tension in the primary in a way that scared our voter and that is why JxC did not do well. He spent his time praising Milei, even on PASO day,” he criticized.
Finally, Lousteau reported that will not participate in the Buenos Aires government and warned that if Jorge Macriwho this Wednesday refused to define an inclination for any of the candidates who will go to the national runoff, came to support Javier Milei and “repeat that institutionally, breaks Together for Change in the City”. The senator asked that this stage not be reached, given that “Together for Change has been governing and can do, with different perspectives, many more things.”
Lousteau’s opinions on Milei
For Martín Lousteau, “Milei is a right-wing extremist demagogue who denies basic things and is unaware of the things he says. In addition to denying climate change and the rights of others, breaks the way of coexistence for the way he treats those who think differently.” When asked about this point, the radical explained that, if he reaches the Casa Rosada, the libertarian “will point his finger at those who he believes are his obstacle, because he does not vote for him or demonstrate.” distinct”
“I think that in its nature it is violent and that a violent leader incites violence downward. We see it sometimes in today’s mood, “the radical warned and went deeper:” He is a person who, due to his psychological characteristics, has very little resistance to frustration and when frustrated it turns into violence.” Lousteau compared Milei to Jair Bolsonaro and Donald Trump, but warned that “Argentina is much more fragile” institutionally, for which he expressed concern.
Regarding the electorate of La Libertad Avanza, the senator postulated: “I fervently wish those young people that their wishes are not fulfilled.” Finally, regarding his own willingness to vote for the runoff between Sergio Massa – whom he criticized as Minister of Economy and stated that he does not imagine a different future with him as president – and Javier Milei, Lousteau claimed the blank vote and stated: “I don’t really know what I’m going to do. That’s a personal issue,” but promised to be opposition “to either of the two”.
