Vice-President Julio Cobos answered to Economy Minister Amado Boudou’s accusations over the new designations in the Upper House of Congress and assured he is “dramatizing situations that have nothing to do with the reality.” Earlier, Boudou assured “I don’t want to even be close to” Cobos in the swearing-in ceremony.
The current vice-president stated in a communiqué that the “Senate’s doors are open for those officials that the Vice-President elect designates so they can be informed about the measures applied,” referring to the new designations and amendments of the scheme of the Upper House applied by Mendoza province’s former Governor.
“Besides, Boudou probably does not know that all the measures adopted have been agreed by all the blocs represented in the Senate and by the unions that represent the workers in the Upper House,” Cobos continued.
Earlier, the vice-president elect affirmed he does not want to be close to the current head of the Senate during the swearing-in to be held on December 10 and added that “everyone knows what they have to do,” referring to who will swear-in President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
“I would like to have nothing to do with Cobos because of all the things he has done even in the last days,” and rejected the new designation schemes and structural amendments of the Senate. “The vice-president today is another person I have nothing to do with it,” he continued.
