Seven Peronist Senators Back Milei's Reform

Seven Peronist senators from various Argentine provinces voted with the government of Javier Milei on the controversial 'Labor Modernization Law,' which critics say harms workers' rights. The list includes senators loyal to provincial governors, sparking a political scandal.


Seven Peronist Senators Back Milei's Reform

Seven Peronist senators voted with Milei against workers' rights. Among them is the senator from Chubut, Edith Terenzique, who responded to Governor Ignacio Torres. To reach the 42 positive votes, the far-right and radical 'republicans' were joined by seven other votes of Peronist extraction. These are senators who answer to governors such as Tucuman's Osvaldo Jaldo, Neuquén's Rolando Figueroa, Salta's Gustavo Sáenz, Misiones' Hugo Passalaquay, and Córdoba's Martín Llaryora. These senators are Beatriz Ávila (Independence bloc), Julieta Corroza (La Neuquinidad), Flavia Royón (Primero los Salteños), Carlos Arce (Frente Concordia Misiones), Sonia Decut (Frente Concordia Misiones), and Alejandra Vigo (Provincias Unidas). Also from Provincias Unidas, the senator from Corrientes, Carlos Espínola, voted in favor. Photographs of these Peronist senators raising their fingers in a V-shape after voting on the slave labor reform have not yet circulated. The Government had the support of the PRO and UCR gorillas in the Senate. But to get the half-sanction of the slave labor reform, they also secured votes from Peronists from several provinces. These are the ones who raised their hands to validate the half-sanction of the so-called 'Labor Modernization Law' promoted by the government of Javier Milei in favor of large employers against the rights of the working class. The twenty senators from La Libertad Avanza, logically, voted as a bloc. From the macrist party, they voted Andrea Cristina, Martín Goerling, Victoria Hualay, and Luis Juez. From radicalism, they voted Maximiliano Abad, Flavio Fama, Eduardo Galaretto, Mariana Juri, Daniel Kroneberger, Carolina Losada, Silvana Schneider, Rodolfo Suárez, Gabriela Valenzuela, and Eduardo Vischi. They are Patricia Bullrich, Bartolomé Abdala, Carmen Álvarez Rivero, Romina Almeida, Ivanna Arrascaeta, Ezequiel Atauche, Vilma Bedia, Joaquín Alberto Benegas Lynch, Pablo Cervi, Agustín Coto, Enzo Fullone, Juan Cruz Godoy, Gonzalo Guzmán Coraita, Nadia Márquez, Belén Monte De Oca, Agustín Monteverde, Bruno Olivera, María Emilia Orozco, Juan Carlos Pagotto, and Francisco Paoltroni. PRO and the Radical Civic Union (UCR) provided the Government with 14 votes. Do not forget these names and last names. By La Izquierda Diario.
