The saga Javier Milei versus the governor of Chubut, Ignacio Torres , continued this Sunday after the President was described as “a poor boy who cannot read a contract” to refer to the provincial president, in the midst of the strong dispute over co-participation funds. . The head of the district at war replied in the last hours that the Casa Rosada "did not calculate that, despite our size, we know how to defend ourselves . "
“The national government wants to take over the province of Chubut thinking that we are a small district, far from the Capital, but it did not calculate that, despite our size, we know how to defend ourselves,” Torres assured in statements to Télam .
The bidding between Nación and the Patagonian district accelerated in the middle of last week, when the province began formal complaints about the withdrawal of co-participation funds. The Casa Rosada alleged that items were withheld for old debts of the district. Last Friday, Torres pointed out: “ If next Wednesday they don't get rid of us, not one more barrel of oil will come out of Chubut .”
From there, the messages escalated and the head of state, from the United States, asserted: “ Nachito - through Torres - does not see her, he is a poor boy who could not read a contract, he is intellectually precarious. very big ". And he added: “ The province took on debt against a co-participation guarantee. So, when the operation is put together, when the co-participation is deposited, which is done continuously, the part affected by the debt is extracted and the remainder arrives. It is not my fault that the boy cannot read a text and understand it .”
On this point, the provincial leader said: “ We were never unaware of that debt that was taken irresponsibly. We put all our will to pay and good faith, but they put us in undesirable territory, even a few days before starting a school year with all that it means .

Beyond this scenario, the former deputy and also former senator who today commands Chubut confirmed that “ beyond the economic difficulties, the start of the school year on March 4 is guaranteed .” The worrying panorama in the district, as Torres detailed, indicates that “of the last six years, only one school year was moderately completed” and that “the rest were a failure.”
Regarding the observation about a possible brake on the output of crude oil production from the Golfo San Jorge basin, the governor of Pro expressed that this situation “had no solution and, unfortunately, there is no going back.” And he warned: " What is going to happen, surely this Wednesday, is that production will be interrupted not only in Chubut, but in all the fields in the country, because it is clear that if they can beat us, they will go after us all ."
On the other hand, Torres announced that "on March 7, in Puerto Madryn, there will be a regional meeting and there will surely be a push for a Patagonian bloc so that the 18 senators from the different provinces can unify their agenda." In this sense, Infobae reported weeks ago that Patagonian leaders have been thinking since the beginning of the Milei administration of a new interblock - not yet formed - that would become the arbiter of future votes in the Upper House .
The confrontation between Milei and Torres will have inevitable consequences in Congress . In addition to a handful of deputies, the governor of Chubut has influence over two senators from his province - key votes - and managed to get the entire non-Kirchnerist opposition, and even some of the Frente de Todos, to side with him.
Under this terrain, the President will appear next Friday in Congress, where he will open a new period of ordinary sessions before the Legislative Assembly. There, the head of state will show his letters and it will be known if the policy of confrontation is maintained to expose the entire opposition to society, or if the president turns his accusations against allies who have been trying to give him governability since December 10. last December.
