The President received the UCR to calm internal and focusing on the budget – 07/10/2018

Mauricio Macri and the best swords in the executive devoted a good part of the day to reducing tension with the Radical Civic Union, the main partner of the PRO in Cambiemos. A long meeting at Casa Rosada with three ministers and a dinner in Olivos with the President focused the agenda of the government, which seeks to close ranks with his allies to advance the budget discussion with Peronism and leave behind permanent short circuits in the ruling coalition.

The governors of Mendoza, Alfredo Cornejo; of Corrientes, Gustavo Valdés; of Jujuy, Gerardo Morales; Senator Angel Rozas; the head of the deputies interlock, Mario Negri, and Macri's favorite libero, Ernesto Sanz, arrived at the Government House after 5:30 pm. On the other hand, they were received in the office of the Chief of Staff, the host Marcos Peña, and the Interior Minister Rogelio Frigerio. Later, the head of the Treasury, Nicolás Dujovne, joined.

Some radical leaders sought to minimize the short circuits and pointed out that it's only a matter of time. was acting a technical discussion The budget that must include the target of 1.3% of GDP deficit that jeopardizes the agreement with the IMF. They badociated it with the meeting that they had in the same direction as that of the governor María Eugenia Vidal and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, last Friday in Olivos. This Wednesday, the ministers of the economy of the 3 districts of districts that control the radicalism would meet to sharpen numbers with Dujovne and Frigerio. We had speculated on the presence of the city and the province, but they will not leave.

However, the policy was not foreign. The radicals learned through the media of the meeting of the main Macrist leaders with the governors of the PJ and Miguel Pichetto in San Isidro. The representatives of the executive, who initially denied this meeting, end up conceding that it existed

. This secret meeting to advance the viability of an agreement for the budget was one that eventually dislodge the radicals. Much more than the media cross with Elisa Carrió, who had "joked" that she claimed to control the radicals and more "seriously" pointed to Cornejo's closeness to the Kirchner, the UCR feels moved. "We agreed to strengthen the change, but the PRO is cut only with the PJ and we learned from the newspapers," the radicals said.

Frigerio and Peña explained to their partner in the strategy bilateral meetings with Peronism to hear about a project and present it before September 15th, deadline. Dujovne, on the other hand, provided a diagnosis of the economic situation. The main obsession that exists today in the government is to stabilize the dollar. Radicals are worried about the economic recession before the election year, but the central bank's benchmark rate will not be affected until signs indicate that the US currency has been fixed at a reasonable price.

They promised the radicals that they will have a place at the bargaining table with Peronism.

The complaints against Carrió were heard as well. Peña recalled the statements he made in the morning after the cabinet meeting. "You have to be careful and not say things, no matter how many jokes," he said. One of the main interlocutors of the PRO with the head of the Civic Coalition denied that Carrió is pushing a break. "He is more macrista than ever," they said. In the PRO, they ask the ally that the claims be inside and not through the media, a claim that could also match the UCR

Radical anger since Cornejo replaced Jose Corral at the head of the National Committee, it is a constant; as much as the verbiage of Carrió. One of the most dialogical voices of the PRO has warned that the radicals can not claim to co-govern their provinces. "It's the same for Vidal and Larreta," he said. The holder of the UCR went to Olivos next to Peña.

Macri used the same restraint strategy as in every crisis with the radicals. With roast and strawberries with dessert cream they tried to lower the tension. "It was more of a fellowship meeting to lower the tension," summed up the executive. In case, no one has spoken with the microphone.
