The Córdoba Legislature once again came under scrutiny due to a decision that sparked strong controversy.The ruling party suspended the session and called a recess to attend the launch event of Juan Schiaretti's campaign. For the opposition, this was a covert closure of the chamber.
An opposition legislator described the maneuver as a shameful act. He stated that Peronism prioritizes the electoral campaign over the problems of Córdoba's citizens. He warned that the decision reflects the institutional hollowing out of the Legislature.
It was emphasized that the agenda included socially relevant projects that were left unaddressed. Among them were proposals regarding increases in public services, which impact the finances of thousands of families. The session, however, was subordinated to the party event.
Electoral priority over social issues
Another opposition legislator warned that the ruling party has already turned the Legislature into a space subordinated to campaign needs. He said that days, times, and topics are chosen based on electoral convenience. As a result, the institution loses credibility.
It was also recalled that this is not the first time a session has been postponed for political reasons. The opposition fears that during the months leading up to the elections, parliamentary activity will be further reduced. “Peronism chooses between the problems of Córdoba's citizens and the campaign, and always chooses the campaign,” an opposition member stated.
