Buenos Aires, November 25 (NA) -- The ruling party was confident this Tuesday that it would be able to get lawmaker Lorena Villaverde to be sworn in as a senator next Friday and that the impugnation promoted by Peronism would not prosper, as learned by the Argentine News Agency from legislative sources. Senators who will be sworn in in the session called for Friday and those who have a valid mandate will resolve with a simple majority vote if the legislator elected by the minority of Río Negro can or cannot take up her seat. Peronism last week promoted an impugnation against Villaverde that had a 'non-binding' opinion in the Constitutional Affairs Committee, due to accusations against the legislator for having alleged ties to businessman Federico 'Fred' Machado, accused of drug trafficking, and for the cases she had in the United States. The vote is very close as Peronism has 28 votes secured among its own and Federal Unity, while the ruling party and its allies already add up to 23, so the position that radicals and provincialists will take will be key, as legislative sources recognized to the Argentine News Agency. Peronism has guaranteed 26 votes, since there were doubts about the position that the two Santiagueños would take: Governor Gerardo Zamora and her compatriot Elia Moreno, since they could abstain. Patricia Bullrich on Lorena Villaverde: 'There's a lot of noise and few nuts'. In addition, it will add to Federal Change integrated by Alejandra Vigo and Carlos 'Camau' Espindola. La Libertad Avanza (LLA) has 19 votes — since Villaverde will not be able to vote — and already has five from PRO secured, and could add the radicals from Mendoza, Mariana Jury and Rodolfo Suárez, from Chaco Silvana Schneider and from Santa Fe Carolina Losada. Parliamentary sources pointed out to the Argentine News Agency that the objective is for the radicals who do not want to support Villaverde to abstain, but for that they will have to convince the Pampean radical Daniel Kroneberg, who is in favor of rejecting the credential. The negotiations of the ruling party these hours are focused on being able to add the vote of the Misioneros Carlos Arce and Sonia Rojas Decut; the Santacruceños José Carambia and Natalia Gadano; the Neuquina Julieta Corroza; the Salteña Flavia Royon; the Tucumana Beatriz Ávila and the Chubutense Edith Terenci. h7VCCw the Constitutional Affairs Committee issued two majority opinions, one in favor of the credentials of the elected senators and another of rejection to Villaverde's diploma. #AgenciaNA
