Much was said about the difficulties of the rabbi Axel Wahnishspiritual guide of the president Javier Mileyin their attempt to obtain approval of their specifications as ambassador to Israel by the Senate Agreements Commission.
Unlike the rest of the political ambassadors, whose documents were sent to the upper house and approved without problems, Wahnish had serious resistance and it was necessary for the radical senator Martin Lousteau received “guarantees” to sign his signature on the opinion, which was then able to be analyzed on the Senate floor, probably next week.
What was unknown until now was the underground diplomatic activity of Vice President Victoria Villarruelwho according to eyewitnesses activated efforts to obtain Lousteau’s signature and the final approval of the rabbi’s document by a tight nine votes to eight.
“Victoria worked a lot to make this happen, she moved very well”, they comment in the corridors of the Upper House. And they assure that Villarruel persuaded the chancellor Diana Mondino to arrive at the Senate to talk with Lousteau and give “guarantees” regarding the eventual decision to move the diplomatic headquarters from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
From that meeting, Lousteau emerged convinced that Argentina would not do anything to “complicate the sovereign claim for the Malvinas”, given that, according to his initial view, moving the embassy to “disputed territory according to the UN” could affect the country’s claims. in international organizations. Villarruel, who is still viewed with some distrust by the President, took another step to avoid legislative shipwreck, by also facilitating Wahnish’s private meeting with Lousteauanother of those pointed out by the Government when looking for those responsible for legislative missteps, such as the Senate’s rejection of the mega-DNU.
Marginalized from the President’s small table meetings and with her own profile that does not quite convince several pure milleistas, she managed to get Wahnish to take a step, not decisive but necessary, to achieve her objective after a meeting in which she spent quite a few questions, not only from Lousteau, but, above all, from the Kirchnerist bloc.

The Buenos Aires initiative will coexist with others, drafted by legislators such as Graciela Ocaña (Public Trust) and Yamil Santoro (Republicans), plus some other project that the CC-ARI would present.

Francisco and a quick response for Santa Fe
Pure emotion was what the vice governor of Santa Fe, Gisela Scaglia, felt when receiving a handwritten response from none other than Pope Francis, days before Easter.
“Dear lady. Thank you for her letter. I was impressed to see the sense of government as a service. Thank you very much for her testimony. I pray for you, please continue to do so for me. I wish you a holy Easter,” the Pope wrote, before saying goodbye.
The surprise was capital for a specific reason. The Pontiff responded in an unusually quick manner, just one day after Scaglia sent him an extensive letter, also handwritten, in which he detailed the fight against drug trafficking that the government headed by Maximiliano Pullaro has been carrying out since it came to provincial power. .
“Santa Fe is going to emerge from this scourge, Rosario is going to once again be the beautiful, thriving and talented city, we promise you this together with Governor Pullaro,” Scaglia had written, along with gratitude to Pope Bergoglio, who had pointed out the “complicity” of politicians, businessmen and judges in the increase in drug power.
