The Senate is immersed in a political battle involving the appointment of Manuel García-Mansilla as a minister of the Supreme Court of Justice. Despite the government's efforts to revive the agreement, the opposition could reject the nominations. This would not affect the temporary mandates of García-Mansilla and Ariel Lijo while the decree is in force.
The focus is on a critical electoral year, with special attention to the City of Buenos Aires and provincial elections. The maneuver aims to create conditions for a session where García-Mansilla's and Lijo's nominations will be debated.
The Unión por la Patria (UxP) bloc has presented a dissenting report backed by prominent figures such as Anabel Fernández Sagasti and José Mayans. The situation is complicated by tension within the Unión Cívica Radical (UCR), with some senators willing to sign the dissenting report from Martín Lousteau.
The validity of Mayans' signature has been questioned, while the president of the Agreements Commission, Guadalupe Tagliaferri, raises doubts about his participation in the public hearing. Mayans argues that the decree appointment violates the Constitution and the Senate regulations.
The lack of agreement has postponed the session, creating divisions within the UCR. Meanwhile, the government seeks the support of the 'wigged radicals' to avoid the rejection of García-Mansilla's nomination. The confrontation between the PRO and La Libertad Avanza intensifies in this challenging electoral scenario.
