Bullrich claimed that Lousteau rejected the DNU because “they took the box from the universities”

The Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, launched harsh criticism of Senator Martín Lousteau, accusing him of political opportunism after his vote against the Decree of Necessity and Urgency. In a television interview, Bullrich suggested that Lousteau’s rejection was due to personal interests linked to the management of universities and contracts. According to the Minister, he would have prioritized his institutional “coffers” over the national interest, using public education as a political bargaining chip.” One expected Kirchnerism to vote against you, but actors who go against the change that their voter accompanied, that is opportunism. And why? Because the universities bring you down, because there you have boxes. They are managed by Lousteau’s group, you manage contracts, they manage the universities, they manage money, they manage everything,” said Bullrich.In contrast, Lousteau defended his position, dismissing Bullrich’s accusations as “lies” and reaffirming that his vote is based on his convictions and political principles. In addition, the senator recalled the support he gave to Bullrich in the past, underlining the incoherence of the criticisms received. This is the same Patricia Bullrich who asked me to campaign for her, who asked me to go to the debate, to accompany her to Venado Tuerto,” Lousteau recalled in a radio interview, referring to the support given to the Minister during her presidential campaign. Meanwhile, the Radical Civic Union, the party to which Lousteau belongs, has come to the senator’s defense, highlighting the importance of making decisions based on convictions and principles.
