The Franks made progress with Córdoba, and the delirious Sicilian replied without self-criticism.

Francos defended the relationship with Córdoba, and Siciliano replied with criticism without acknowledging any mistakes made by the provincial administration

The Chief of Staff, Guillermo Francos, highlighted the institutional relationship with Córdoba and valued the transfer of funds to the Pension Fund. In public statements, he asserted that the governor "should be pleased" with the support from the national government in a delicate fiscal context. The statement triggered an immediate and disproportionate reaction from provincial legislator Miguel Siciliano, who launched a barrage of criticism without taking any responsibility.

Siciliano: taunts, victimhood, and lack of memory

The head of the ruling bloc in the Legislature, identified with Córdoba's Peronism, attacked Francos with a series of disconnected complaints. Shamelessly, the delusional legislator criticized the national government for the lack of public works, the FONID, and even national highways, forgetting years of local neglect. With a strident tone, he listed supposed debts with Córdoba, without acknowledging that his political group was responsible for increasing state spending.

Siciliano mentioned the lack of infrastructure, but he never explained why his bloc voted for laws that multiplied positions in the provincial government. He also did not clarify how he expects more national funds while his group rejects structural reforms that would guarantee a reduction in public spending. From the national government, the position is clear: there is collaboration with Córdoba, but fiscal responsibility and a real commitment to balanced accounts are required.

Francos: institutionality and concrete results

Unlike Siciliano's ridiculous rhetoric, Francos emphasized the progress achieved with provinces that understood the country's current situation. The national government has already transferred pension resources and keeps the dialogue channel open, even in the face of absurd criticism like that of the legislator. In this scenario, useless confrontation only serves to expose a political sector that refuses to let go of privileges and implement necessary reforms.

Siciliano's response doesn't represent the people of Córdoba who demand transparency, austerity, and policies that leave behind clientelism and favoritism. From the Legislature, his role is limited to shielding an oversized state structure that costs millions and doesn't deliver quality services. Meanwhile, as Milei moves forward with reforms, in Córdoba there are still leaders who prefer to defend the status quo rather than face the future with courage.
