The expropriation of 51% of YPF's shares from the Spanish Repsol was not a decision made exclusively by Kirchnerism. The project, which declared the 'public utility' of hydrocarbon sovereignty, achieved a cross-majority. In the Chamber of Deputies, the vote ended with a resounding 232 in favor, only 20 against, and a single abstention (Elisa Carrió). In the Senate, support was similar: 63 affirmative votes against only 3 negative votes, as reported by the Argentine News Agency. In addition to the Front for Victory bloc (with figures such as Agustín Rossi, Héctor Recalde, or Mayra Mendoza), the list of those who supported the measure includes heavyweights who today occupy central places on the political map. For example, from radicalism: Ricardo Gil Lavedra, Mario Negri, Ricardo Buryaile, and Ernesto Sanz accompanied the recovery. Patricia Bullrich also opposed it.
