Patricia Bullrich Confirms Resignation Offer to Milei Amidst Judicial Nomination Dispute

Senator Patricia Bullrich has confirmed that she offered her resignation to President Javier Milei after informing him of her objection to the withdrawal of a judicial candidate’s nomination. The senator also shared insights into President Milei’s reaction to this significant political development.

Confirmation of Resignation Offer

Bullrich confirmed that she met with President Milei to discuss her stance. “I went yesterday, I spoke with the President, I told him about my objection of conscience. He explained his position,” she stated in an interview with Radio Mitre. While she declined to elaborate further on the private meeting, Bullrich acknowledged that she had made her resignation available to the President. “As any decent person does when they have to inform the President of a position different from his, one as a decent person puts their resignation at his disposal,” she explained.

President Milei’s Reaction

Regarding President Milei’s response to her potential departure from her senatorial seat and leadership of the La Libertad Avanza bloc, Bullrich revealed that he “continued the conversation without giving importance to that assertion I made, which I believe is appropriate.” This suggests that the President did not immediately accept or dwell on her resignation offer during their discussion.

The Judicial Nomination Controversy

The situation stems from Bullrich’s public announcement on Monday that she would not support the withdrawal of the nomination for Dr. María Verónica Michelli to a Federal Judge position. This decision from Casa Rosada followed the candidate’s successful public hearing in the Senate. The withdrawal was reportedly initiated after it was revealed that Michelli is the sister-in-law of Hugo Alconada Mon, a journalist from La Nación newspaper who has investigated “Case $LIBRA,” which involves the President. Presidential General Secretary Karina Milei had formalized the request to withdraw support for Michelli’s nomination.

Objeción de Conciencia Declared

Bullrich had previously communicated her decision to the President via X (formerly Twitter), stating, “I spoke with the President and informed him that I will exercise my right to objection of conscience regarding the withdrawal of Dr. Michelli’s nomination for Federal Judge.” She emphasized that her stance was not an internal party conflict but a matter of conscience. “There are no internal disputes, there is an objection of conscience,” she stated, referring to the Michelli case.

Previous Disagreements

This disagreement over the judicial nomination adds to a series of notable differences between Senator Bullrich and Casa Rosada. Earlier, Bullrich had publicly called for Manuel Adorni, the government spokesperson, to submit his financial disclosure statement promptly. Reports indicate that she had expressed her dissatisfaction with the delay during a cabinet meeting, where President Milei reportedly defended Adorni strongly.
