Without Cristina Kirchner - who remains at the head of the Executive due to Alberto Fernández's trip to Brazil - the 24 elected senators were sworn in this Thursday, under the watchful eye of the future vice president Victoria Villarruel, WHO did not reach an agreement to also designate the authorities of the high camera. The session began with the resignation of three legislators who will soon take office as governors : Ignacio Torres (Chubut), Alberto Weretilneck (Río Negro) and Alfredo Cornejo (Mendoza). The leader of the Frente de Todos bloc dismissed them with a reflective phrase. "A new time is born for the Argentine Parliament," he stated.
In the boxes were two of his future companions: the Luxembourg Mobile Number List president of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, and the Riojan Ricardo Quintela. In the opposite direction, the still governors took the oath as senators Alicia Kirchner, from Santa Cruz, and Sergio Uñac, from San Luis. Kirchner did it for his brother, the former president. “For Néstor, for human and social rights, for the Santacruceños and the Santacruceñas, yes, I swear.” They are not the only governors who land in the House. The president of Tucumán also swore in Juan Manzur who, although he was not a candidate in this election, entered to replace Pablo Yedlin, who jumped to the Chamber of Deputies.
Due to the same situation, the governor of Mendoza is going to take over Rodolfo Suárez , who had been on the ballot as a substitute for Cornejo, who now returns to lead the Province. As is customary in the Senate, everything happened briefly and soberly . Only the senator from the Frente de Todos, Juliana Di Tullio, dared to joke when she touched him and received cheers and applause. «I came with swelling... how are we?» she boasted, smiling. The most emotional moment occurred at the beginning, when the legislators paid tribute to the deceased Campista senator Matías Rodríguez.
