Parisi argues that the opposition's appeal to the TC for megarreform was expected and points out that it is part of the political game

Franco Parisi, former presidential candidate and leader of the People's Party (PDG), described the opposition’s decision to take certain aspects of the megareform to the Constitutional Court as “expected,” calling it “part of the political game.” Speaking during an interview with Radio Infinita, Parisi emphasized that such actions were not unexpected within the current political landscape. He stated, “It is part of the game, it is part of the political game,” referring to the opposition’s move to challenge parts of the reform through legal channels. According to Parisi, the process involves understanding how different factions operate within the system. He noted that the Front for National Unity had previously referred to the existence of a third chamber being used in this context. Parisi added that he believes some elements of the megareform will inevitably end up in a mixed commission. Specifically, he mentioned that the inclusion of anatocism, interest capitalization, into the Chamber of Deputies has made it likely that these points will be reviewed in a joint committee. He outlined potential key areas of discussion, including tax invariability and compensation mechanisms tied to environmental concerns. In addressing relations with the opposition, Parisi acknowledged criticisms that his party acts as a governing party rather than an independent force. He responded by pointing out that the opposition has yet to present viable proposals that could be supported. “We have not seen any proposal from the opposition that we can support,” he said. Parisi also highlighted that his parliamentary members, including his sister Zandra Parisi, maintain positive relationships with all major parties. However, he stressed that the lack of collaborative projects remains a barrier to meaningful cooperation. The conversation also touched on the resignation of Rodrigo Vattuone from the presidency of the PDG. Parisi praised Vattuone as a “great person” who was stepping down due to the time demands of the role on his personal and family life. He noted that Doña Denisse Catalán would assume the interim leadership, describing her as a “tremendous woman” with strong organizational skills. Parisi indicated that he might take on the position of secretary general, possibly leading to future internal realignments within the party. Despite his comments on the challenges of holding the party leadership, Parisi expressed his view that serving as party president is not beneficial. He argued that the role consumes too much time and energy. “Whenever a party president appears in polls, over time their standing tends to decline,” he explained. He concluded that while the role must be fulfilled when necessary, he prefers to focus on other priorities. The ongoing discussions around the megareform continue to shape political dynamics, with Parisi suggesting that further developments in legal and legislative processes are likely. His remarks reflect broader tensions within the political arena, highlighting the complex interplay between institutional procedures and strategic maneuvering. As the situation evolves, the outcomes of these debates will remain central to the political narrative.
