Labor reform accelerated the fracture of the PJ in Congress: three senators leave

Labor reform has catalyzed a rift within the Peronist Party, leading to the departure of three senators aligned with governors distancing themselves from Cristina Kirchner.

The labor reform in Argentina has intensified divisions within the Peronist Party (PJ), particularly in the Senate, where three senators have announced their departure from the bloc. These senators—Carolina Moisés from Jujuy, Guillermo Andrada from Catamarca, and Sandra Mendoza from Tucumán—are aligned with governors who are negotiating infrastructure projects with President Javier Milei's administration. This political shift comes as these governors, Raúl Jalil (Catamarca), Gustavo Sáenz (Salta), and Osvaldo Jaldo (Tucumán), seek to position themselves pragmatically within the changing power dynamics.
