The emergency meeting called by the National Electoral Chamber with the representatives of the lists of Sergio Massa and Javier Milei to reduce the tension for the runoff, following the complaints of fraud presented Freedom Advances and which the space itself later minimized when it was called by Justice, ended this Saturday following 2:00 p.m.

Juan Manuel Olmosrepresentative of Unión por la Patria, and Karina Mileirepresentative of La Libertad Avanza, met with Alberto Ricardo Dalla Via and Santiago Hernán Corcuera, judges of the National Electoral Chamber who, in an unprecedented manner, convened the parties to “preserve democratic coexistence.”

The first to arrive was Olmos, who entered the CNE headquarters alone, while Javier Milei’s sister arrived with the lawyer Santiago Viola and Santiago Caputo, who is an important piece in the relationship between Macri and Milei. The meeting took place on May 25, 2000, in the heart of downtown Buenos Aires.

“Was a very good meeting“, agreed those who attended the meeting convened by the CNE.

Sources from Unión por la Patria acknowledged to Clarín that, despite what they imagined from the tone of the text in which La Libertad Avanza denounced a “colossal fraud” in the general election, “it was a cordial meeting.” From the libertarian space they also agreed on the good tone of the meeting.

“We went with the intention of seeing what La Libertad Avanza’s position was on the fraud issue that they installed these days. They said that what they made was not a complaint but rather a presentation in which they took things that were being said and reproduced them in a writing to alert the authorities,” they said.

And they added: “What we said is that we must preserve the institutions that we built in these 40 years of democracy and that With these types of warnings you do not contribute to peace. social this Sunday. “We asked that if they had something to report, they do so before the courts and not with presentations.”

The ruling party also asked the representatives of La Libertad Avanza that if they have “something to report, they should do so before the courts and not with presentations.”

During the week, Karina Milei and the lawyer Viola made a formal presentation before the court with electoral jurisdiction headed by María Servini in which they assured that the National Gendarmerie altered the content of ballot boxes and electoral records during the General Election of October 22 to benefit to the official candidate Sergio Massa.

They also said that this maneuver was part of a “colossal fraud” once morest La Libertad Avanza. However, when the Justice cited it, it relativized the phrase: “It was not a complaint but rather a presentation made with the aim of taking extreme precautions in the transfer of ballot boxes.”

The prosecutor with electoral jurisdiction, Ramiro González, had summoned Viola and Karina Milei for this Friday, who did not appear because she traveled to Códoba for the closing of the LLA campaign.

Viola left a letter signed by the sister of the libertarian candidate, in which she “requests that her subpoena be annulled because she does not have any information that she can add, beyond what I can declare on this occasion.”

Despite the minimization of the accusation of fraud, the Minister of Security, Aníbal Fernández, announced that he will criminally denounce La Libertad Avanza for having accused the Gendarmerie of changing “the content of the ballot boxes and documentation” to favor Sergio Massa.

In the midst of the conflict, the National Electoral Chamber and the first instance electoral judge, María Servini, were concerned regarding these complaints and offered the representatives of the libertarian candidate all the guarantees so that they can control the election.

The meeting between the representatives of the spaces and the CNE judges also helped the ruling party to talk regarding the ballots sent to the electoral justice system. “What they assured is that they have the two and a half lists that they have to have of ballots with the money that the Electoral Justice gave them. They have the ballots and they decide through a delivery and control strategy how to deliver them,” he told him. They told Clarín.
