Despite the dissonances that seemed to prevent an agreement between the blocks of the Radical Civic Union and Evolution in the Chamber of DeputiesFinally, radicalism managed to get the negotiations back on track this Wednesday and as of December 10 There will be a single radical bench with 35 members and chaired by Rodrigo De Loredo from Córdoba..
In this way, the division that was born in December 2021 is corrected when a group of deputies referenced in the senator Martin Lousteau He broke with the UCR block to form the Radical Evolution bench.
Until Tuesday, radicalism was on its way to splitting into two fractions: one of 23 legislators that included the nine from Evolución and promoted De Loredo as head of the block, and another of 12 members that proposed Facundo Manes to head the bench.
Mauricio Macri, the dilemma that divides radicalism
The strategy of elevating De Loredo was not shared by the group led by Manes, which questions the decision to “award” the presidency of the bloc to someone who two years ago led the escape from the Lousteau sectorbreaking the unity of radicalism in the Chamber of Deputies.
Furthermore, they considered that the Cordovan was the radical “interlocutor” chosen by former president Mauricio Macri so that the UCR continues to “absolutely follow” the leader and founder of the PRO.
This discussion regarding the degree of approach or distancing from macrismo It will remain latent and might come to light later, generating problems of coexistence in the radical bloc.
