Senate: non-K Peronism postpones the split of the bloc but would vote divided on Labor Reform
Five non-K Peronist senators in Argentina have delayed a decision on splitting from their bloc while preparing to vote on Labor Reform.
In the Argentine Senate, five non-K Peronist senators from the ConvicciΓ³n Federal faction have decided to delay determining whether to break away from the broader Peronist bloc or to split among themselves at a later date. This decision comes amid internal and external tensions, indicating that there are serious discussions about the future of their political alignment. They plan to focus on formulating a united stance on the Labor Reform, which is set to be voted on next Wednesday, which further complicates their internal dynamics.
During a closed-door meeting, they agreed that their immediate goal is to prioritize the Labor Reform discussion, emphasizing the need to take a stand on this significant piece of legislation. They are expected to engage with multiple stakeholders, including the CGT, to ensure they are informed and aligned on the issues at stake. According to sources close to the senators, despite these collaborative efforts, it appears likely that they will end up voting along divided lines, reflecting the existing fissures within their group.
As they navigate this period of uncertainty, they are also mindful of maintaining their structure of power within the Senate. The group has until February 24 to clarify their internal authority before the preparatory session where the Senate's leadership is confirmed. This situation not only highlights the complexity of Argentine politics but also underscores the shifting alliances that may influence future legislative action in the country.
