From December, we will be the most reformist congress in history. Peronism will have 96 legislators from December, but there is a risk that its representation will be reduced, as rumors are circulating that the governor of Catamarca, Raúl Jalili, could form his own bloc with his 4 deputies. It is also unclear what position the governor of Santiago del Estero, Gerardo Zamora, will take, who has 7 legislators who answer to that provincial leader. Buenos Aires, November 19 (NA). - Three Radical deputies joined La Libertad Avanza today, with which the officialist bloc will have 91 legislators, and is getting closer to achieving the goal of becoming the minority bloc in that legislative body. The deputies who joined the libertarian ranks are Luis Picat, José Tournier, and Mariano Campero, who had formed the Liga del Interior bloc when they left the UCR bloc and had an inter-bloc with LLA. LLA parliamentary sources told the Noticias Argentinas agency that the government is also seeking to add two other legislators: a former PRO member Verónica Razzini, and the PRO deputy Alejandro Bongiovanni. The president of the LLA bloc, Gabriel Bornoroni, welcomed La Libertad Avanza through social networks and stated that "we continue to add lions to approve the laws that are needed."
