Two days before the treatment of the Clean Slate Law in the Senate, former president Mauricio Macri expressed his discontent with the delay in the approval of the norm and took the opportunity to criticize Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, whom he accused of "destroying Pro" by launching his own list.
"It should have been done yesterday," summarized Macri on LN+ when referring to the project that aims to prevent those convicted of corruption-related crimes from obtaining public office. "These things are being delayed. Our ticket has people with history," he stated.
"I told him not to be functional to destroying Pro. He did nothing. It was a team of which he was a part," Macri emphasized, referring to the achievements in the City of Buenos Aires.
Lospennato, for her part, was blunt: "Larreta is not interested in the position of legislator. Now I see him facing his own management without expecting an internal election. We had a real commitment to transparency," she pointed out, recalling that during her government, "we moved from ranking 107 to 66 in transparency."
According to Noticias Argentinas, Macri took advantage of the recent confirmation of Guillermo Moreno’s conviction to insist on the urgency of the treatment: "The worst of populism is not the economic destruction, although it may seem incredible, it is the destruction of the value of a word," he stated.
Deputy Silvia Lospennato, promoter of the project, lamented that the norm would not apply to Moreno in this year's elections due to the fact that the deadline for applying the Clean Slate expired on April 19. "The judges' delays give Moreno the opportunity to mock Justice by presenting himself as a candidate," she argued.
She also clarified that if Cristina Kirchner decides to run for election in the province of Buenos Aires, the Clean Slate could apply, and she rejected the notion that it is a maneuver to disqualify her: "The confirmation of Moreno's conviction disproves that."
Regarding the internal elections in the city, Macri lamented that Propuesta Republicana did not reach an agreement with La Libertad Avanza. "It is a monumental waste of energy," he said, and blamed Karina Milei, whom he described as "the president of La Libertad Avanza." But his harshest criticism was directed at Larreta: "I thought he believed in the team we had built. He left alone."
